It will be seen, however, that Boston still remains without a complete history in print, and that, therefore, the publica tion of any portion of its records is not unnecessary. It is also to be remembered that Boston now comprises at least three other ancient towns, each with records and a his tory of its own. These may well demand in the future a proper amount of attention, and require proportionate publi cation. It is hoped that the City Government will authorize the Record Commissioners to continue the work of publishing the records; of course not in full, but by means of such judicious selections as will afford valuable information about our predecessors.
