Excerpt from The Rebels, or Boston Before the RevolutionThus much for the period I have chosen. How faithfully it has been portrayed, must be left to critics less merciful than myself.Many will complain that I have dwelt too much on political scenes, familiar to every one who reads our history; and others, on the contrary, will say that the character of the book is quite too tranquil for its title. I might mention many doubts and fears, still more important; but I prefer silently to trust this humble volume to that futurity which no one can foresee, and every one can dread.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
