Excerpt from Tabular Representation of the Present Condition of Boston: In Relation to Railroad Facilities, Foreign Commerce, Population, Wealth, Manufactures, Etc;, Etc The following statistics have been compiled with as much care and accuracy as the limited time allowed would admit. Even when not obtained from official sources, they are believed to be nearly, if not perfectly, correct. As in some instances, it is designed to show the advantages possessed by Boston, as compared with those of other cities, great pains has been taken to make it as impartial as possible, and to give to those cities the bene t of prospective improvements in the way of shortening their lines of communication with the Canadas and the West. Much labor has been bestowed upon the accompanying map, to make it as accurate as the best available sources of information would admit. No doubt errors and omissions may be found on it; but it is believed they are not of a character to affect its general correctness, or usefulness, for the purposes of the present celebration. Free use has been made of an article on "Boston as a Commercial Metropolis in 1850," by E. H. Derby, Esq., and originally published in Hunt's Merchants Magazine for November, 1850. At the close of the pamphlet, important conclusions are drawn from the facts it contains, and to these conclusions, with accompanying summary statements, it is hoped by the Committee, that special attention will be directed.
