Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Historic Fields and Mansions of Middlesex This is neither a county history nor a relation of consecutive events, but a series of historic-colloquial rambles among the memorable places of Old Middlesex. Arm in arm we thread the Colonial highways, reading history, recounting traditions, and discussing men and events with much freedom, - challenging as we go the dwellings of former generations to yield up their secrets, not indeed to reproduce spectres, but living objects, - rehabilitating the Old and arraying it beside the New. At parting I shall hope you will have no cause to regret our companionship. Our saunterings are chiefly in those ways made famous by the earliest warlike events of the Revolution, pausing, incidentally, to trace the almost obliterated vestiges of the siege, with pictures of the camps and portraits of the characters, civil and military, of the time, considered as men and not as gods. History of battles or campaigns should, as I think, enable the student to go upon the ground, and with book in hand follow the movements of contending armies as they actually occurred. As much as has been written of the eleven months' campaign for the possession of Boston, I have not found any modem author who has brought his narrative of the military operations and topography into correspondence, and in so far as this may be accounted a deficiency, have endeavored to supply it.
