New York Times. Oct 23, 1892
Mr. Adams's sub-titles indicate for the reader those three episodes in the history of the Bay State to which the author has devoted himself, and yet in a sense, this book is not more a book of State history than it is one of town history, that town being Braintree, and a portion of old Braintree that is now Mr. Adams's native town of Quincy.

Collin, Magone, and Linson, made a number of important changes in the election laws of the State, most of which do much toward their simplification. With a few exceptions, the changes have to do with the duties of election officers, the periods during which nominations may be made, and the canvassing of the ballots, so that the voter who has exercised his right of suffrage since the original ballot-reform act was passed will find little to confuse him this year on election day.

Chopin.
