This book constitutes a calendar prepared by Peter and Jennifer Clark from a transcript made by a group led by the late John Bailey, as part of the History of Boston Project. Professor Peter Clark has supplied a brief introduction. The volume covers the first thirty years of the first minute book of the Boston Assembly (the corporation), and is of interest for the economic history of an important port, a centre of puritanical activity, and the place from which some of the early Massachusetts settlers were drawn. It also throws light on local administrative conditions in East Lincolnshire, and on the relationship of the central administration with outlying provincial centres.
