There was published in Boston, in 1698, a very small thin volume of 82
pages, 3 x 5 inches, entitled "The Bostonian Ebenezer." "Some Historical
Remarks on the State of BOSTON, the _Chief Town of New England_ and of the
_English_ AMERICA, with some _agreeable methods_ for Preserving and
Promoting, the _Good State_ of THAT, as well as any _other Town_, in the
like circumstances." "Humbly offered by a native of Boston." Ezk. 48, 35,
"The Name of the City from that day, shall be THE LORD IS THERE." Boston:
printed by B. Green and F. Allen, for Samuel Phillips, at the Brick Shop,
1698.
This singular little volume contains two lectures. Preceding the first
lecture at the top of the page are these lines:--
"THE HISTORY OF BOSTON,
Related and Improved.
At _Boston_ Lecture 7_d._ 2_m._ 1698." [April 7, 1698.]
