The Proper Bostonians
Amory has provided an insider's look at Boston's '400' and the role they had in shaping the city. It is a review full of humor and wry asides. He may or may not be part of the '400' himself, but he was certainly a close observer. Along with a carefully researched program on the members' origins and the source of their money, the author managed to sneak in the occasional quotation from one of the members that grabs you by the funny bone.
