AUTHOR'S PREFACE
This book is something more than the chronicles of the incorporated town of Winchester. It is the story of a community, which, even while it was included within the corporate limits of two or three other places, developed a flavor and individuality of its own, insomuch that the town, when it was at last formed, was only an inevitable step in the development of that preexistent community. Few Massachusetts towns, even of the original constellation, have accumulated more material for a book of this description. A surprising number of Winchester citizens have been diligent in searching out the origins and antiquities of this ancient community, and their labors have made the task of the present writer the lighter.
