This work delves into the rich history of Boston, focusing on various interesting and lesser-known aspects of the city from its early settlement to the year 1880. Wheildon's research aims to provide insights into the topography, governance, culture, and notable events of Boston over more than two centuries.

He acknowledges the limitations and potential errors in his narratives while emphasizing the vibrant evolution of the city and its people.
