The Destruction of Boston Harbor is a book written by William Whiting in 1851. The book presents an argument made by Whiting before the Committee of the Legislature on April 17, 1861. The argument centers around the destruction of Boston Harbor and the potential consequences that would arise from such an event. Whiting presents his case with detailed analysis and persuasive reasoning, highlighting the importance of the harbor to the economy and national security of the United States. He also addresses the potential for foreign powers to take advantage of a weakened Boston Harbor, and the need for proper defense measures to be taken to prevent such an occurrence. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Boston Harbor and the United States’ maritime defense strategy in the mid-19th century.Against An Application For Leave To Fill Up Flats In Mystic River.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
