It is said that " nature has limited the territorial expansion of Boston ; that her dignity suffers by having: so few numbers ; that foreigners would regard Boston with greater respect and interest, if her num- bers were greater, and if she occupied a wider space. " As if the weight and value of cities were to be ascer- tained, like those of beef-cattle, by the scales ! — as if the intelligence, activity, social and moral qualities, their punctuality in business, the w^ealth they manage and com...mand, were not the real elements by which cities are honored, valued, trusted, and compared ! And what city stands higher in these respects at this moment, or has stood through the entire period of its existence, than the city of Boston 1 The project has been openly avowed, and it is con- fidently expected, that, when Charlestown is joined to Boston, Roxbury, Brookline, Cambridge, and Chelsea will follow, and perhaps Dorchester. How far this territorial aggrandizement shall extend, its projectors have not specified ; but they unquestionably intend, if possible, to rear about Charles River a gigantic metropolis, vying in numbers and extent with New York and Philadelphia ; from which they anticipate a proportionable increase of wealth, wisdom, strength, and influence.
