Especial thanks are due the trustees, librarians and to the least of the staff of the Boston Public Library. I wish eagerly to acknowledge the hos- pitality of the trustees and here to thank the librarians for their efficient help in placing well classified and helpful material in my hands. I wish to thank the attendants for their cheerful comings and goings, their f etchings and carryings in the interest of this work, and to express the pleasure I have felt in observing how indiscrimin- ately willing they are to serve all those who work within that rare library's gates. Personal acknowledgments are due the Rever- ends Edwin P. Parker, Franklin Ware Davis, William L. Walsh, Newman Smyth, D. D., Henry Lincoln Bailey, Alfred Manchester, T. T. Munger, vi EDITOR'S NOTE Henry M. King, Eugene R. Shippen, Henry E. Hovey, W.W. Doman; to J. J. Loud, A. S. Forbes, Malcolm E. Robb, Dr. Parker, JohnK. Lord,Ph.D., Wm. D. T. Trefry, Frederick S. Piper, M.D., Julius H. Tuttle, and to Prof. W. Walker. The authors of the several histories used for ref- erence are almost without exception mentioned in the text of New England Churches, and if any kindness remains unacknowledged or the identifi- cation of any authority has been left undefined it is due to inadvertence and not to intention.

Questions this record answers

Each answer is composed only from fields this record carries, and names the attestation for what it says. A question the record cannot answer from its own attested content is not asked here. Where a boundary is described as official it was promulgated by an authority with the power to draw it and is not amended by anything on the vernacular layer; where it is described as vernacular it is held by attestation alone and amends no official boundary.
