. Massachusetts of today : a memorial of the state, historical and biographical, issued for the World's Columbian exposition at Chicago. . elings of utmost pride and pleasure, that the public-s]>irited men of this State, as one man, have joined hands patriotiially in this enterjHise, which it is felt will redound to the good name of Massachusetts. It may lie said by critics, and said justly, that not all of the men of Massachusetts meriting recognition are in this book. So ])rolific is the Commonwealth in living men of real worth and commendable achievement that no book could contain adequate mention of all, but in Massachusetts of To-day not only men but interests are considered, and there is no interest of importance, we feel sure, which has not a representative in this volume, and there is no man in these pages who is not, in the truest sense, representative of some one of those interests. To the States of the Union and to the nations of Christendom, Massachusetts pledges this book as a token of her undiminished zeal and ability in the furtherance of the arts of civilization and the happiness of the human race.
