Excerpt from Boston Sights: Or, Hand-Book for Visitors
Mr. Pulsifer, one of our most eminent Boston antiquaries, has just favored the public with a new Guide to this city and vicinity, which is just the thing to put into the hands of the stranger who wants to know how to get where he likes to go, and how to find what he wishes to see of special interest here. While it is sufficiently full on all points, it is less fulsome and commendatory in the matter of theatres and similar places, than such books are apt to be, while all wholesome resorts are carefully pointed out. It is the good work of a good man.
David Pulsifer, the well-known author and antiquarian, has recently published a new edition of his "Guide to Boston and Vicinity," illustrated with maps and engravings, which has many features of excellence. Any stranger, or curiosity-hunter, can hardly do better than look over this volume for much material of interest and value.
There is enough within the covers of the volume to amaze the visitor and gratify the in-dweller. For curious lore few men surpass Mr. Pulsifer; and he has put a great deal that he knows in this book, which A. Williams & Co. will sell you for a reasonable sum.
