Much labor has been bestowed upon the accompanying map, to make it as accurate as the best available sources of information would admit. No doubt errors and omissions 5 may be found on it ; but it is believed they are not of a char- 1 acter to affect its general correctness, or usefulness, for the •v purposes of the present celebration. « Free use has been made of an article on '' Boston as a Commercial Metropolis in 1850," by E. H. Derby, Esq., and originally published in Hunt's Merchants Magazine for No- vember, 1850.

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.
