Bacon's goal in writing King's Dictionary was to provide "a conveniently arranged ... hand-book, guide-book, and condensed history of Boston in one compact, ready-reference volume." Organized like a dictionary, entries include the following: The Ace of Clubs Club (a social dining club for dramatic, musical, and literary folks); the Free Hospital for Women and Children (offering free medical care to poor women and children, although there were only fifteen beds ...); Germans in Boston ("as a class ... conspicuous for their industry, thrift, and frugality); and Health of Boston (in which one learns that the "principal streets are cleaned daily" while "house-dirt and ashes" were picked-up once a week.) The ads are also delightful, and include ones for Chauncy-Hall School (which boasted "Special Students, many of whom are young ladies"), Prang's Artists' Material Store, Boston Theatre, and Holmes Furniture (showing a 19th-century version of a La-Z-Boy.) King's Dictionary is a truly comprehensive work covering all things Boston.

Excerpt from King's Dictionary of Boston The first impression, doubtless, which this book will make upon one who takes it in hand will be of the abundance of the material which is to be found for it, and of the convenience coming from having what is in it so method ically disposed. The models for the volume were, of course, the well-known Dictionary of London and Dictionary of Paris. But it has peculiar features of its own, which make it preferable to them in method, arrange ment, and the form in which information is presented. There are in it more than twelve hundred titles of articles, arranging the subjects of them alpha betically, under the leading word most likely to be turned to by the inquirer. These cover all the local features, landmarks, visible objects of' interest in the territory; the government and public institutions of the city in their various departments; the corporations and societies administered here; the organizations of its citizens, mercantile, literary, charitable, and social; its clubs and fraternities and its repositories of literature, science, and the arts, with an account of their administration. Incidentally many local customs, Observances, and commemorations are recognized. There is also very much of history spread through the pages, with descriptions and statistics. Dis cussion, comment, and all irrelevant themes are avoided. Accuracy of state ment, with conciseness and condensation, have of necessity been kept strictly in view; and so the information is authentic, sufficiently extended, and, as a whole, surprisingly full. The variety of headings under which this informa tion -most needed by strangers and visitors to the city and, indeed, most welcome to our own citizens is distributed, forcibly reminds us of the prog ress towards expansion, enrichment, and even to a shade of cosmopolitanism, which the amazing strides of human progress in two and a half centuries, and the special influences which have developed wealth and enterprise, has realized on this old hpeninsula, the site of an English colony. The point of view, therefore, under which this Dictionary may admit of an Introduction is that of tracing the development of the town and city, its expansion, and its enrichment, leading on to its present opulence, its advanced administration, the number and variety of its resources and institutions, and. The composition of its population. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
