The Typical Bostonian.
From Harper's Weekly


If a careful student of Boston should
undertake to reconstruct from the re-
corded impressions of observant visitors
and critics an imaginary city, it must be
said that nearly all the counterparts of
the actual city would be found among his
materials. He would probably discover
that some of the materials are provided
in excess and others insu.;iciently. The
nature of most of them could be sum-
married by further condensation of the
reports here brought together. Such a
summary might be desirable were this a
more extensive compilation. AS it is
there is need only to add a single con-
sideration for the recOnStructive student
who, for one reason or another may not
pursue his studies on the spot. The pos
sibility Of scrutinizing the typical Bos-
tonian"--the man who has created the
impression which the word Boston
brings to minds a diminishing posi-
bility. This person. moving daily farther

ans SO low as the highest on which. the

and possibly by dreadful degrees even

will be comfort in the knowledge that
ten complete Bostonians will be enough
to preserve for their city something OF
