This series of plans of the Town of Boston is the result of a great amount of research, and presents in a most interesting manner the growth of the Town from the first settlement to 1645.
The plan dated December 25, 1645, while in the main correct, does not show all the transfers made during that year, as will be seen by consulting Suffolk Deeds, Lib. 1, as noted in the introduction to the Book of Possessions (Volume 2 of the Boston Records), the first 111 pages of which were written by William Aspinwall prior to the 10th month, 1645.
The numbers on the plans follow the original pagination of the Book of Possessions.
