MUNICIPAL PRINTING OFFICE.
1905.
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.
On the plan of 1630 the lot marked S should have been assigned to
Thomas Sharp.
These plans show the old peninsula of Boston; consequently the
allotments at the “field end next Roxbury” do not appear.
The New Field was located at the west part of the town in the angle
bounded by the present Cambridge street, and extending through Lynde
and Leverett streets to Haugh’s Point. The principal town landing was
at the head of the cove or dock, around which Valentine Hill’s highway
was laid out in 1641. Street names were not given until a later period,
though the present Washington street was known as the “High street, the
great street or highway to Roxbury.”
Other allotments were made at Rumney Marsh (Chelsea), Mt. Wollaston
(Quincy), and Muddy River (Brookline).
Ownership and transfers of many lots between the periods shown by the
plans are not noted.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the

Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
