Foreword by Timothy J. Mullin, of ’’Unintended Consequences.’’Since the 2002 edition, over 200 pages of various revisions have been included during the annual reprintings. Amazon carries the latest 2009-on printings which include Boston’s several page analysis of the Heller decision. (This is not some completely new edition, as some reviewers have incorrectly inferred.

Boston Firsts! is about everything (well, almost!) that happened first in Boston and changed life elsewhere: from the first lighthouse and public library to the first madam and ready-made suit.

Some 50,000 persons are named in the four classes of records. The subjoined Report contains all births recorded between 1700 and 1800, an additional 60,000 persons.
