This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Nathaniel Bradstreet Shurtleff was born on June 22, 1810 in Boston, the descendant of William Shurtleff who was in Plymouth as early as 1634. He was the son of Sally (Shaw) and Benjamin Shurtleff, a physician of Carver, Massachussets, who had removed to Boston to acquire a professional reputation and a fortune.
He graduated at the Boston Public Latin School in 1822 and then went to the Round Hill School at Northampton, under Joseph G. Cogswell and George Bancroft. At Harvard College, where he received the A. B. degree in 1831, he was an indifferent student. He took the medical degree at Harvard in 1834 and soon succeeded to his father's practice.
Some twenty years after graduation he enhanced his growing reputation as an antiquary by editing with scrupulous care the Records of the Governor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay in New England.
He said that every word and letter in the proof sheets had been compared with the original by himself. Records of the Colony of New Plymouth in New England followed, and to these David Pulsifer added four volumes after Shurtleff's expensive methods were discontinued.
He wrote on everything that interested him: phrenology, a perpetual calendar, a study of the Bay Psalm Book, maps, a decimal system for the arrangement of books in libraries, and accounts of the Shurtleff, Leverett, and Beal families.
His list of The Passengers of the May-flower (printed in New England Historical & Genealogical Register, January 1847 and privately printed in 1849), compiled from sources known before Bradford's History was found, is an example of his thoroughness. He failed to mention nine minor passengers out of one hundred and one, and he included one woman and several children not on board. He was mayor of Boston for three terms, 1868-70, as a Democrat, being reëlected by increasing pluralities.
His administrations were marked by the annexation of Dorchester and Roxbury, by street improvements, and by unsuccessful attempts to economize. He was not, it was said, a good judge of character, and he knew little of the proper methods of government. His addresses, however, reveal high purposes and wide sympathies. He took pride in being the first life-long democratic mayor.
His party opposed a third term but an aroused electorate returned him to office. He was chosen a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1847 and held office in that society nearly all the years following until his death.
He belonged to several other societies in the United States and in England. From 1854 to 1874 he served as secretary to the board of overseers of Harvard College, having been a member of the board, 1852-61, 1863-69.
He was also a trustee of the public library. He lived at No. 2 Beacon Street, where his apartments were crowded with books.
His library, which was sold at auction in the fall of 1875, had 1790 items, a first rate local historical and genealogical collection.
