Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Pocket Guide for the Stranger in Boston Boston is a city of remarkable interest; its environs are unsurpassed in our land or in any other; and to succinctly guide the stranger to and through these points of interest, is the object of this small book. In order to teach strangers how to walk through Boston, we have arranged itineraries leading through the principal streets, pointing out as we go along the many points of interest which abound in this historical city. Old buildings, many of them pioneers of American architecture, reminding one, at each glance, of the past, to which one can look back with so much wholesome pride. New marble palaces, which will in their turn serve as honored landmarks to future generations. The many immense business houses will also find appropriate mention, and in this feature of our work we have taken particular pains to recommend only those of tried honesty and known integrity. The environs of Boston offer so many real points of historical interest, connected with our revolution, that no stranger, particularly in this centennial year, should fail to visit them. We have arranged easy, practical and agreeable routes to the most interesting points. These routes we recommend to our patrons as offering the best ways of viewing the suburban attractions of the city. Our main object in compiling this work has been to enable the thousands of strangers, who will visit this metropolis during the present year, to understandingly see and appreciate the many points of interest centered here.
