Massachusetts naturalizations

Both of these appeared in the Boston Daily Advertiser in what seemed to be a column that would be repeated on a regular basis although I have not found more.

"Following is a list of the Person Lately Naturalized in the United States Courts:

Here are the links to an online source for naturalization dates reported for the purpose of voter registrations in the 1860s, Boston.
You will need an high-speed connection to download the books. If you download the pdf format, then you can search for
any keyword, whether a surname or a street name. I show a few examples of the listings. I have not checked to see if
each voter was listed only once in this decade.
