Excerpt from Brookline: The History of a Favored Town<br><br>As an important residence district in one of the oldest, wealthiest, and largest centers of population of the United States, Brookline must always have a certain claim to distinction, much like that of Belgravia in London. As a small town, nearly surrounded by a great municipality, yet maintaining through the loyalty of its citi zens a corporate existence, Brookline has a further claim to consideration. Never were the affairs of a town, spending nearly a million dollars a year, more quietly nor more ably administered.<br><br>There has been heretofore no chronological, illustrated history of Brookline in the hands of the people. The present little book has grown from materials collected during the preparation of a paper, which was read before the Hannah Goddard chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the First Parish club, the All Saints Parish club, and the Isaac Gardner chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
