There are \nmore learned and compendious books about this interesting metropolis, but there \nis none so recent, none so useful, and none so popular in price. This edition is \nentirely a new book, with every line re-written, and a very extensive enlargement \nall around. The street maps and plans are also all new, and record the latest \nchanges. The 250 illustrations are from original photographs, every illustration \nused in this book having been made especially for it in the most artistic manner ; \nand will form an admirable memento. \n\nThe plan contemplates a dozen or more easy half-day routes, usually on foot \nor by street-cars, because the book is prepared for the masses of the people. \nHowever, persons of wealth who roll along in carriages will find it not less useful. \nBy the help of this itinerary, visitors may gain a good idea of the Massachusetts \nmetropolis, and there are myriads of Bostonians who could greatly enlarge their \nlove of and interest in their dear home-city by taking this little companion along \non their rambles. \n\nThe text was written chiefly by M. F. Sweetser, a lover of Boston, and a \nguide-writer of twenty-five years' experience. \n\nThe Index at the back of the book points out frequent double references to \nobjects or places, when they are repeated on different routes. \n\n\nSUGGESTIONS TO VISITORS. \n\n\nT \n\n\nHE VISITOR who neglects the great retail and wholesale \nestablishments, the extensive industries, the financial and \nother institutions, because they are places of business, misses \nthe most edifying and interesting sights of a metropolis. In \nthese may be seen so much of what makes up the world of \nto-day that they present an equal claim for observation with \npublic institutions, parks, statues, landmarks, and other histor- \nical and descriptive matters. \n\nTo make clear this point, no visitor should fail to see \nMacullar, Parker & Company's establishment, where more than \nsix hundred people are employed in workshops which are \nmodels for all the world ; the enormous plant of the Waltham \nWatch Company, which contains an infinite variety of the most \ningenious machinery, producing the most infinitesimally per- \nfect particles of mechanism ; the great storehouse of Jones, \nMcDuffee & Stratton, which is a veritable museum of the fine \narts of many countries ; the huge manufactory of Chickering \n& Sons, the oldest and most famous of American piano-makers, \nwhose instruments are found in palaces and homes through- \nout the wide world ; the immense slaughtering and packing- \nhouses of John P. Squire & Company, where in a single day \nsix thousand hogs, cattle, and other animals can be humanely \npurified, divided, and put forth in many appetizing forms for \nhuman sustenance ; and other noteworthy concerns. \n\nWith this in mind, many establishments have been men- \ntioned and illustrated, but care has been taken to mention none \nthat cannot be visited, or that are not well worth visiting. \n\nMany of these extend a cordial welcome and have attend- \nants to show visitors their establishments, as far as is reason- \nably practicable. \n\n\nMACULLAR, PARKER & COMPANY IN 1872. \n\nSHOWING THE BUILDING DESTROYED IN THE GREAT FIRE. \n\n\nI II . ■ \n\n\n^.„ ..-.-. ... — ~r - \n\n\nVJBk'W. J^^tiiWHi \n\n\nMacullar, Parker & Company's Store, \n\nDECORATED FOR THE VISIT OF THE \n\nKNIGHTS TEMPLARS TO BOSTON, AUGUST 27, 1895. \n\n\nHISTORICAL. \n\nOTHER cities may claim various distinctions, such as great popula- \ntions, vast areas, extensive industries, enormous wealth, or grand \nsituations, but the universally-conceded ideal city of the American Con- \ntinent is Boston. \n\nDuring its 265 years it has constantly developed in all of those com- \nmendable lines which naturally have given its citizens just cause for their \ngreat pride, and fully justify the whole world in the high esteem in which \nthey hold the city, which has become known as \"The Modern Athens,\" \nand the \"Hub of the solar system.\" \n\nBoston was called Shawmut, meaning \"The Place Where Boats Go,\" \nby the Indians ; TriMontaine, by the early English settlers at Charles- \ntown, from the three bold peaks of Beacon Hill ; and, finally, Boston, \n\n\nWASHINGTON STREET IN HORSE-CAR DAYS OF 1885. \n\n(in 1630), by the order of the Massachusetts Legislature, after a Lincoln- \nshire sea-port from which some of its people came. That place was named \nBotolph's (or St. Boat- Help's) town, from a pious Saxon monk (whose \nprayers helped storm-tossed boats and sailors), dwelling thereby a \nthousand years before — (Botolph's Town=Bot's Town=Boston). Gov. \n\n\nTHE GREAT BOSTON FIRE OF 1872. \n\nWASHINGTON STREET, AROUND THE RUINS OF MACULLAR, PARKER & COMPANY. \n\n\nKing's ' ' How to See Boston. \" 9 \n\nWinthrop's colony of English Puritans came hither by sea in the autumn \nof 1630, being dissatisfied with Salem and Charlestown, and founded \nhere the capital of Massachusetts. Fortifications were quickly erected at \nCastle Island, Fort Hill and the Neck ; ship-building became an active \nindustry ; a large foreign commerce began, and new tributary towns \nsprang up near by. The Puritans came here to found a place in the wil- \nderness where their religion should be supreme ; but many turbulent \nincoming sectaries of other beliefs disturbed the peace of the State. \nThe Government disarmed the Antinomians, in 1637; hung or banished \nthe Quakers, in 1648-77 ; nailed up the Baptist church ; and persecuted \nthe alleged witches ; and the populace defiled and battered the Church-of- \nEngland chapel. Meantime, their train-bands annihilated the power of \nthe Indians, in several sanguinary wars. For 30 years, only church-mem- \nbers could vote. In 1692, the Colonial Charter was abrogated by King \nWilliam III., and Boston became the capital of a Royal Province, and \nthe seat of a brilliant vice-regal court. It had 7,000 inhabitants, and \nwas the wealthiest town in America. In 1709, there were 11,000 people ; \nin 1742, 16,000; and in 1769, 20,000. In 1761 the resistance to British \nauthority began, followed by the Stamp- Act riots of 1765, the non-impor- \ntation league of 1767, the occupation by red-coat regiments in 1768, the \nMassacre in 1770, the Tea-party in 1773, the Royalist closing of the port \nin 1774, and the battles and siege in 1775-76. The town recovered \nslowly, after its ruin by the long British occupation and the American \nbombardment. It became a city in 1S22, with 50,000 inhabitants, and a \nvast Asiatic and European commerce. The original area of 800 acres \nhas been more than doubled by filling in the shoal parts of the harbor. \nRoxbury was annexed in 1868, Dorchester in 1870, and Charlestown, \nWest Roxbury and Brighton in 1874. The city sent 26,175 men to the \nWar for the Union. Nov. 9-10, 1872, a fire destroyed $75,000,000 worth \nof property. The decline of maritime commerce turned the people's \nenergies to railroads, manufactures, and general trade, and this is now one \nof the world's great markets for wool, boots and shoes, and other com- \nmodities. In literature, art and religion the community holds great \nrenown. Two-thirds of its people are of foreign parentage, but the \ndominant influence remains Puritan. The population reached 362,839 in \n1880, and 448,477 in 1890. But within a radius of a dozen miles there \nare many towns and villages which are essentially part of the city, and \nincluding these the population can more correctly be called a million. \nThe valuation exceeds $1,000,000,000. The net debt is $37,000,000 ; \nand the yearly city and county income, $14,000,000. \n\nBoston possesses a grand harbor, unsurpassed in either hemisphere \nfor the possibilities of Maritime commerce, and for charming situations \nfor Summer homes and resorts. James Freeman Clarke, said : '■'■Every \nSunrise in New England is more full of wonder than the Pyramids. Why \ngo to see the Bay of Naples when we have not yet seen Boston Harbor ? \" \n\n\nH0WARC >ST. \n\n\nALovell \n\n\nSCALE OF FEET \n\n\nCOURT HOUSE AND CITY HALL DISTRICT. \n\n\nTHE WHOLESALE BUSINESS DISTRICT. \n\n\nTHE wholesale business quarter may be bounded in a general way by \nScollay and Bowdoin Squares and Washington St. on the west, the \nharbor on the east, Eliot and Kneeland Sts. on the south and Charles \nRiver on the north. This is the chief financial and commercial region, \nwith the courts, banks, newspaper-offices, railway-stations and theatres ; \nand here flow the deepest and most agitated currents of humanity. \n\nScollay Square has been chosen as our chief starting-point because it \nis a central plaza from which many street-car lines diverge. An English \nvisitor said that the view south from Scollay Square was one of the most \npicturesque street-scenes in the world. In the driveways, a vast tangle \nof cars and wagons; on the sidewalks, animated currents of many phases \nof human life ; and on the sides, the old pitch-roofed brick houses, the \nlong triple-balconied front of the Boston Museum, the green trees of the \nburial-ground, the dark low tower of King's Chapel, and the lofty white \nmarble pile of the Parker House. The view from the square down Court \nSt. is not less impressive, with the quaint Old State House nestling low \nunder the eaves of enormous new \noffice-buildings, a true fragment of \nTudor Boston, the English provin- \ncial seaport, overhung on all sides \nby the majestic commercial palaces \nof the Modern Athens. \n\nThe first owner of Scollay \nSquare was Edward Bendall, whom \nthe Puritans drove away, and then \npart of the land came to David \nYale, brother of the founder of \nYale College. A century ago, \nmost of the square was covered by \na wedge-shaped heap of ramshackle \nbuildings, the chief of which be- \nlonged to Wm. Scollay, of a Scot- \ntish family from the lonely Orkney \nIslands. Scollay's Building was \ntorn down in 187 1, leaving the \npresent great triangular open \nspace, which is bordered by busy \nretail stores, hotels, restaurants \nand museums, and traversed by \ninnumerable crowds and myriads \nof vehicles. Its presiding genius \nis the bronze statue of the founder \nof Massachusetts, Gov. Winthrop, \n\n\n12 King's \"How to See Boston.\" \n\nin full Puritan costume, holding the Bible and the roll of the Colony \nCharter, and looking toward the sea. A rope tied around a tree-trunk \nindicates that he has just landed from a boat in the wilderness. This \nmemorial, a duplicate of one in the U. -S. Capitol, was designed by R. S. \nGreenough, and erected in 1880, after a grand military and civic parade \nand orations. The lofty Hemenway Building at the south side of Scollay \n\n\nSCOLLAY SQUARE, JUNCTION OF TREMONT, BRATTLE, CORNHILL AND COURT STREETS. \n\nSquare arose in 1884, on the site of the house where President Washing- \nton sojourned, in 1789 when Gov. John Hancock, from some dim idea of \nState sovereignty, declined to receive him, and where later were the \noffices of Harrison Gray Otis and Daniel Webster. Many lawyers of \nto-day hang up their green bags in the comfortable offices of the modern \nbuilding. The lower floor is occupied by the ancient retail grocery-store \nof the S. S. Pierce Co. The land under the Hemenway Building is \nassessed at $350,000. \n\nThe Suffolk-County Court-House, in Pemberton Square, and plainly \nvisible from Scollay Square, is an immense granite building, in German \nRenaissance architecture, completed in 1886, at a cost (including land) of \n$3,828,000. It encloses four open court-yards, and has several finely \ndecorated halls. The grand rotunda, of white marble and polished gran- \nite, is richly adorned with frescoes, and with sculptures representing the \n\n\nH \n\n\nKing?s \"How to See Boston.\" \n\n\nhuman virtues. The Court-House also contains the Social Law Library, \nfounded in 1804, and numbering 25,000 volumes. The building faces on \nPemberton Square, where rose a harbor-viewing hill eighty feet high, \nuntil 1835, wnen it was removed, and replaced by a fashionable residence- \nsquare. Some of the old swell-front houses remain, used as public and \nlaw offices. Boston University's executive building, Jacob Sleeper Hall, \nis at the head of Pemberton Square. \n\nOn Howard St. is the Howard Athenaeum, a spacious and popular \nvariety-theatre of the cheaper sort, occupying the site of the Millerite \n\nTabernacle of 1S45, where the \nAdventists assembled in white \nascension-robes, to be ready for \nthe expected end of the world. \nHere was the estate of Capt. \nCyprian Southack, of the Provin- \ncial navy, whose guest in 171 1 \nwas Admiral Sir Hovenden Wal- \nker, the leader of a mournfully \ndisastrous expedition against Que- \nbec. Theodore Lyman had a fine \nmansion at Howard St. and Tre- \nmont Row, where Lafayette was \nhis guest in 1825. \n\nCourt St., leading past the \nOld Court House, to the Old \nState House, was anciently known \nas Prison Lane (here Capt. Kidd \nwas confined) ; and then, from \n1 70S until after the Revolution, \nas Queen St. Here rises the \ngloomy Doric Quincy-granite col- \nonnade of the old court-house, \nwith columns weighing 28 tons \neach, built in 1833-36, and famous \nfor the bloody Abolition riots in \n1 85 1 and 1854, when the place \nwas surrounded by chains to keep \noff the patriot insurgents. Phillips, Parker and Higginson were indicted \nfor their share in this attempted revolution. Here also occurred the \ndreadful Webster-Parkman trial. Behind is the City Hall ; and just \nbelow towers the handsome seven-story sandstone front of Young's \nHotel, containing on the ground-floor the beautiful and spacious ladies' \ndining-room, with its artistic decorations. This fine addition, built in 1882, \nadjoins the older part of the hotel, founded by George Young in 1845. \n\nOn the corner of Court and Washington Sts. is the white marble \nSears Building, partly burned in 1890, and rebuilt, much taller than be- \n\n\nENTRANCE TO COURT HOUSE, PEMBERTON SQUARE. \n\n\nAMES BUILDING AND COURT STREET TO SCOLLAY SQUARE \n\nVIEW FROM BALCONY OF OLD STATE HOUSE. \n\n\nKing's ' ' How to See Boston. \n\n\n17 \n\n\nfore, in Italian Gothic architecture.

Here \ndwelt John Leverett, a soldier of Cromwell, knighted by Charles II. , \nand Governor of Massachusetts during King Philip's War. Here, also, \nwere the busy law offices of Choate, Andrew, Parsons, Chandler and \nHorace Mann. On the opposite corner rises the tremendous gray-granite \nsixteen-story pile of the Ames Building, designed by Shepley, Rutan & \nCoolidge, in a richly ornamental style, and devoted to offices, banks and \ntrust companies. It is 190 feet high, and was finished in 1890, at a cost \nof $700,000. The land under it is assessed at $400,000. Just south of \nCourt St., on Washington St., is the ever-busy Newspaper Row ; and \njust north is Cornhill, a busy old-fashioned street, making a broad curve \nfrom Adams Square to Scoilay Square. It is one of the street-car cen- \nters ; and here a never-ceas- \ning line of electrics make \ntheir starting point for vari- \nous suburbs. It was form- \nerly devoted to the book- \ntrade, of which it retains \nsome portion, mainly second- \nhand book stores. Here is \nthe spacious and long-estab- \nlished store of Frost & \nAdams, founded before 1840, \nand occupying a five-story \nbuilding with an immense \nand varied stock of artists' \nand architects' materials, \nmathematical instruments \nand articles for decorating. \nThey import largely from \nEurope, and have an exten- \nsive trade all over America. \nA short distance north \nof Cornhill is Brattle St., \nwith the old Quincy House, \nfounded in 1 8 19, the first \nQuincy-granite building in \nBoston, and the oldest hotel \nnow existing. It has been \n\noften enlarged. Opposite is the site of the Brattle-square Church, built \nin 1772, and standing until 1871, with a cannon ball sticking in its side, \nfired by an American battery at Cambridge during the siege. Then it was \na barrack for two regiments of British infantry.

This famous restaurant had its beginning in 1847, when the \npresent senior partner, Russell Marston, opened a small eating-place with \na capacity for about 20 people. To-day the establishment, the largest in \nthe city, can comfortably seat 800 people. The premises have been ex- \ntended through to Hanover St., where an attractive building has been \nspecially erected. Although the prices are quite moderate, the pleasant \nand well-conducted Marston restaurants are constantly patronized by the \nbest people of Boston and all New England. \n\nAt the head of Brattle St. is the Crawford House, where the National \nSecurity Bank occupies the main corner. \n\nAdams Square, just north of State St., is a broad paved open space, \nsurrounded by tall buildings and shops, and traversed by great crowds of \npeople. Here stands a spirited bronze statue of Samuel Adams, designed \nby Anne Whitney, and unveiled in 1880. It represents \"The Chief of \nthe Revolution \" (as the British Ministry entitled him), just after his \nheroic act of demanding from Gov. Hutchinson that he should remove \nthe redcoat regiments from the town, after the Massacre. \n\nDock Square is one of the anciently settled portions of the city and \nmodern improvements have not yet made many inroads here. To the \neast it runs to Faneuil Hall and on the west it extends to Adams Square. \n\n\nIB \n\n\nNEW WASHINGTON STREET, NORTH FROM ADAMS SQUARE. \n\n\nShops of various kinds are here, and at No. 20 is the hardware house of \nBurditt & Williams ; the great sign over the top telling of this one build- \ning having been a hardware store for more than a hundred years.

Smibert, the pioneer painter, was the architect. It \n\n\nDOCK SQUARE AND FANEUIL HALL, LOOKING EAST FROM ADAMS SQUARE. \n\nwas rebuilt after a fire, in 1763, and dedicated by James Otis ; and much \nenlarged in 1806, Bui finch being the architect.

They are general commercial, job and book printers. \n\nFort- Hill Square, down towards the harbor, is the site of Fort Hill, \n100 feet above, and crowned as early as 1632 by a harbor-commanding \nbattery, from whose ramparts Sir Edmund Andros and his redcoats were \ndragged by the Boston train-bands in 1689. In 1774, this fortress had \n35 guns ; and was garrisoned by the Welsh Fusileers, the heroes of Min- \nden. Early in this century, the hill was covered with patrician resi- \ndences, ranged around Independence Park ; but the Irish immigrants by \ndegrees invaded it, and the scene became squalid. In 1866-73, the hill \nwas cut down, and used in filling Atlantic Avenue ; and its site is a level \ngreen park, surrounded by the buildings of iron and hardware and drug \nfirms, and one of the model fire-engine houses of the city. At Nos. 16 to \n24 Oliver St. are the offices and salesrooms of the Walworth Manufactur- \ning Co., producers of steam apparatus and supplies, pipes and fittings, \nand whose extensive works are at South Boston. At 34 Oliver St. are \nthe offices and salesrooms of the B. F. Sturtevant Co., whose blowers, \nengines and ventilating apparatus, made in their great works at Jamaica \nPlain, are in very general use. At Oliver and Purchase Sts. is the \nbindery and publishing warehouse of Thomas Y. Croweil & Co., who are \nfamous as bookbinders and publishers, with a long list of books covering \na wide range of strictly high-class literature and works of reference. At \nHigh and Purchase Sts. is the immense six-story factory of the John L. \nWhiting & Son Co., founded in 1864, and the largest manufacturers of \nbrushes in America, with ingenious machinery and processes, and a large \nAmerican and foreign trade. The ingenious mechanisms for making the \nuniversally approved \"Goodyear Welts\" and other products of the \nmachines of the Goodyear Shoe-Machinery Co. are manufactured in their \ngreat factory on Federal St. ; and their offices are at 158 Summer St. \n\nAll this section is hallowed by historical events which would require \na volume to narrate. Emerson was born, in 1803, near the corner of \nSummer and Chauncey Sts. ; the historian, Prescott, on Bedford St., close \nby ; and Edgar A. Poe was born while his mother was playing at the \nFederal-Street Theatre, in 1809. His first book also appeared in Boston, \nin 1827. George Bancroft lived at the corner of Otis St. and Winthrop \nSquare, near Nath'l Bowditch's, Gen. Heath's and Sir Wm. Pepperell's. \nAllston's studio, from 181 8 to 1 830, occupied the barn of the Prince \nhouse, in which Spurzheim, the Prussian phrenologist, died, on the north- \neast corner of Pearl and High Sts. Gilbert Stuart's studio was on Essex \nSt., near Edinboro. An inscribed tablet at the junction of High and \nSummer Sts. shows where Webster long dwelt. \n\nThe district between State and Washington Sts. and the harbor was \nonce sparsely occupied by humble village-farms, with pastures and \norchards, diversified by a battery on Fort Hill, a windmill near the foot \nof Summer St., and a few rope- walks near the sab-marshes.

About a century ago, Franklin St. was laid \nout across a marsh, for residences ; and Summer St. became the hand- \nsomest rural thoroughfare in New England, with lines of noble old trees \nand parterres of brilliant flowers around its patrician mansions. Beach \nSt. was on the beach ; and Essex St. wound in its present odd curves \nalong the water-side. Fort St. (leading from the governor's to the fort) \nbecame Milk St. ; Pudding Lane, Devonshire St. ; Bishop's Alley, Haw- \nley St. ; Blind Alley, Bedford St. ; Cow Lane, High St. (because it ran \nhigh over Fort Hill) ; and Long Lane, Federal St. (because the Federal \nConstitution was ratified there). Over this tangle of lanes, and pastures \nand sea-marshes has arisen the present grand mercantile district, with its \nmany scores of millions of value, and its influence over a continent. \n\n\nFORT HILL SQUARE, FROM HIGH TO OLIVE STREETS. \n\nFires have done much toward the renovation of this locality, but the \nmarch of improvement did its full share. For some years hereabouts de- \ngenerated into poor tenement quarters, but the widening of streets and \nerection of fine buildings have entirely changed its appearance and uses. \n\nThe district near Bedford and Essex Sts., where the Thanksgiving- \nDay fire of 1889 destroyed $6,000,000, and the fire of March 10, 1893, \nswept off $4,000,000 more, is being occupied by long blocks of hand- \nsome commercial buildings, the homes of many famous wholesale shoe \nand dry-goods firms. At the junction of Bedford and Kingston Sts. \nstands the eminent wholesale notion, small wares, and fancy dry-goods \nestablishment of the Walker-Stetson-Sawyer Co., one of the foremost \nhouses in America in this trade, with customers extending from Maine to \nCalifornia. In 1896 this corporation will take possession of its grand \nnew buildings, now being specially erected for it at Lincoln and Essex Sts. \n\nAt Beach, Lincoln and Kingston Sts. is an ancient hostelry, with a \nthoroughly modernized interior and a world-famous landlord, — the \nspacious and comfortable United States Hotel, kept by Tilly Haynes. \nThis hotel is one of the largest and most popular in New England. A \nblock or two farther south, on Kneeland St., are the simple, spacious \nand busy stations of the Boston & Albany and the Old Colony Railroads. \nStreet-cars for almost everywhere pass there in unceasing processions. \n\n\n■.ej: * ,: ^ \n\n•f. ftt.1 \n\nxui. i i \n\n*~ \" '-^ \n\n. i 1 l~ \n\n%m i e \n\n■*W i \n\nU Li t \n\n.jr ci t \n\n\nu» ■» \n\n\nTHE RETAIL DISTRICT. \n\nTHE Retail District lies mainly between the Wholesale District, which \nhas just been rambled through, and the Common, and includes the chief \nretail shops of all kinds, the theatres, newspaper-offices, municipal build- \nings, and some of the most important hotels. Its main arteries are \nTremont St. and Washington St. ; and the short thoroughfares connecting \nthese two are also devoted to a lively retail trade. As Howells says : \n\n\" Nowhere in the world has shopping such an intensity of physiognomy as in \nBoston. It is unsparingly sincere. The lovely faces of the swarming crowd were \nalmost fierce in their preoccupation.\" \n\nTremont St. passes out of Scollay Square, with the tall Hemenway \nBuilding on the left, just beyond which extends the long balconied and \nmany-lanterned Renaissance front of the Boston Museum, built in 1846. \nThis is the oldest local theatre (founded in 1841), and has a charming \ninterior and a good stock company. Its quaint front hall contains a mu- \nseum of curiosities and paintings ; and the rural Puritans coming up to \ntown used to wander in hither, ostensibly to see these instructive collec- \ntions, but not without a purpose to observe the dramas and comedies on \nthe stage. Wherefore it was called \"the Ministers' Theatre.\" It was \nentirely remodelled not many years ago, with scientific heating and venti- \nlation, nearly fireproof construction, and decorations by Gaugengigl. \nEdwin Booth made his debut here, in 1849, and William Warren played \nin this company for over fifty years. Next comes the granite building oc- \ncupied till 1894 by the Suffolk-County Probate Office (Robert Grant, the \nnovelist, is Probate Judge); and also (since 1833) by the Massachusetts \nHistorical Society, founded in 1791, and the oldest in America. This is \na costly and aristocratic association of 100 scholarly gentlemen, largely \nHarvard graduates, and has published three or four score volumes of col- \nlections and proceedings. Visitors are welcomed to the rooms, with the \nlibrary of 40,000 books and 100,000 pamphlets, and a rich museum con- \ntaining the swords of Miles Standish, Sir Wm. Pepperrell, Col. Church, \nGov. Carver, Col. Prescott of Bunker Hill, and Capt. Linzee, R. N. ; \nKing Philip's samp-bowl ; ancient weapons and standards ; and por- \ntraits of Govs. Endicott, Winslow, Pownall, Winthrop, Dummer, Hutch- \ninson, Strong, and Gore. \n\nKing's-Chapel Burial-Ground, the oldest in Boston, dates from 1 630, \nand contains the remains of the three Govs. Winthrop, Gov. Shirley, \nGov. Leverett, Gov. Endicott, John Winslow, Lady Andros, and Cot- \nton, Davenport, Oxenbridge, and other illustrious divines, with Brattle, \nSheafe and other great Colonial merchants, and learned judges and sev- \neral gallant officers. The bronze tablets on the wall are interestingly in- \nscribed. The trees here have a vast population of birds, whose debates \nand bickerings often attract popular attention. \n\nKing's Chapel, quaint, dark and lowly, has a venerable Londonish \ninterior, with many mural tablets, rich stained windows, rows of columns \n\n83 \n\n\nMACULLAR.

Three British sovereigns \nenriched the chapel with plate, paintings, books, etc., and here the first \norgan in New England was set up. The Vice-regal court and army and \nnavy officers attended service here, in state pews, and the walls and pillars \nbore royal and noble escutcheons. The rector fled to Halifax with the \nBritish army, in 1776, carrying away the valuable plate, and services \nwere discontinued for some years. In 1785, the society expurgated Trini- \ntarianism from the liturgy, and became the first Unitarian church in New \nEngland. Washington attended an oratorio here in 1789, clad in black \nvelvet, and gave five guineas toward finishing the portico. \n\nAcross Tremont St. from the Museum and Chapel were the homes of \nJohn Cotton, \"the spiritual father of Boston,\" Gov. Sir Harry Vane, \nChief-Justice Sewall, Lord Percy, Gov. Bellingham, Peter Faneuil, \nLieut. -Gov. Phillips, Davenport (founder of New Haven), and other \nmagnates. \n\nIn the block opposite the Boston Museum and the Probate Office is \nthe pharmacy and chemicaj. laboratory of the Theodore Metcalf Co., at 39 \nTremont St. It is one of the oldest and most trustworthy in the city, \nand was founded in 1837. Its toilet and pharmaceutic preparations are \nesteemed as of the highest grade by the medical professions, and its \nessences and extracts are standards everywhere. \n\nSchool St. was so named because the Latin School stood here from \n1634 to 1844, first on the back part of the King's-Chapel site, and after \n1748 on the Parker-House site. Here studied Franklin, Hancock, \nAdams, Everett, Eliot, Bowdoin, Eustis, Winthrop, Dana, Bowditch, \nOtis, Hillard, Sumner, Everett, Emerson, Motley, Parkman, Evarts, \nDevens, Mather, Channing, H. W. Beecher, J. F. Clarke, E. E. Hale, \nPhillips Brooks, and many other notables. The immense and famous \nwhite-marble Parker House was founded in 1855, by Harvey D. Parker ; \nand after frequent enlargements in 1886 dedicated its superb eight-story \nchateau-roofed extension, on the corner of Tremont St. The late T. O. \nH. P. Burnham, the owner of this corner (1,984 feet of land J had a bitter \nfeud with Parker, and for many years refused to sell him the coveted \nground. When peaceful death closed their warfare, the land was acquired \nfor the hotel extension, at a cost of $200,000. Parker's, besides its \ntravellers' trade, is a downtown rendezvous for politicians, business men, \nand club-dinners ; and has several popular dining-rooms. It was the first \nEuropean-plan hotel in America. \n\nThe City Hall, on the north side of School St., east of King's \nChapel, is a substantial and fireproof Renaissance building, of white \nConcord granite, erected in 1862-65, at a cost °f $500,000; and filled \nwith commodious rooms for the many and costly municipal departments. \nEfforts are under way to erect a $4,000,000 municipal palace, alongside \n\n\nTHE CITY HALL. \n\nSCHOOL STREET, BETWEEN TREMONT AND WASHINGTON STREETS. \n\n\n88 \n\n\nTHE PARKER HOUSE, J.

The \ndrapery is heavy, but the portrait is good. Here, also, stands R. S. \nGreenough's fine bronze statue of Franklin, erected in 1856, from a pop- \nular contribution of $20,000, and dedicated by R. C. Winthrop. The \nverd-antique marble base has four interesting bronze reliefs : on the \nsouth, the boy Franklin learning to print ; east, signing the Declaration \nof Independence ; north, drawing electricity from the clouds ; and west, \nsigning the Treaty of Paris, in 1782, ensuring American independence. \nFarther down School St., No. 19 was the site of the Cromwell's- Head \nTavern, where Lieut. -Col. George Washington dwelt, in 1756; and just \nbeyond, on Washington St., is the Old Corner Book-Store. On the site \nof 28 School St. stood the French Huguenot church, from 1 714 to \n1748 ; the first Catholic church, from 1788 to 1802 ; and the Universalist \nchurch (built in 181 7), where Ballou and Chapin were pastors. \n\nNearly opposite King's Chapel begins the sacred Beacon St. ; and on \nits northern corner stands the lofty Albion building, partly occupied by \nHoughton & Button's Bazar. On the southern corner stood the famous \nTremont House, from 1828 to 1894, entertaining as guests Presidents \nJackson and Johnson, Henry Clay. Thackeray, Dickens, the Prince of \nWales, Jenny Lind, and other notables. It had a long and sombre \ngranite front, with a heavy Doric portico, and, as Dickens wrote, \" more \ngalleries, colonnades, piazzas and passages than I can remember.\" It \nwas pulled down in 1894, to be replaced by a huge office-building. \n\nTremont Temple, on Tremont St., alongside the Parker House, has \nlong been the headquarters of the Baptists of New England. It occu- \npies the site of the Tremont Theatre, which ran from 1827 to 1843, and \nsaw the triumphs of Murdoch, Vandenhoff, Sheridan Knowles, John \nGilbert, Fanny Kemble, Charlotte Cushman (her debut), Ellen Tree and \nFanny Ellsler. The Baptists bought it in 1843, and remodelled it for free \nservices. It was burnt in 1852, 1879, and ^93, and as often rebuilt. The \npresent temple cost $500,000 ; and has a front largely of colored marble \npatterns in the Venetian manner, a superb basilica-like audience-hall, an \nunusually beautiful organ, and (on the upper floors) the headquarters of \nseveral Baptist societies. The Temple Church is known as \"The \nStrangers' Sabbath Home,\" and has a very large and enthusiastic mem- \nbership and a famous choir. Dr. Geo. C. Lorimer is the pastor. The \nelegant white-granite building beyond, with Milmore's statues of Flora \n(north), Ceres and Pomona, was built in 1864 by the Mass. Horticultural \nSociety, founded in 1829; and contains its library of 16,000 volumes, \nmany interesting portraits, and two halls, famous for their superb exhibi- \ntions of roses, rhododendrons, chrysanthemums, and other flowers, and \nfruits. Across Bromfield St. is the Studio Building, with the studios of \nCopeland, Gaugengigl, Griggs, Lansil, Ordway, Shapleigh, and other \nartists. At 36-38 Bromfield St. is the Wesleyan Building, erected in \n\n\nRETAIL DISTRICT, NORTHERN PORTION. \n\n\n92 King's \"How to See Boston.'''' \n\n1870, and a notable Methodist headquarters, with the office of Ziorfs \nHerald ; and next to it is the Brom field- St. Methodist Church, founded \nin 1S06. The rooms of the Boston Camera Club, including many famous \namateurs, are at 50 Bromfield St. ; and those of the Boston Press Club, at \n12 Bosworth St. \n\nThe Granary Burial-Ground has more distinguished inmates than any \nother, including Govs. Bellingham, Dummer, Hancock, Sam. Adams, \nBowdoin, Sullivan, Sumner and Gore ; three signers of the Declaration \nof Independence, including Robert Treat Paine ; Peter Faneuil, Paul \nRevere, Jeremy Belknap, Uriah Cotting, Chief-justice Sewall, Mint- \nmaster Hull, Mayor Phillips, the Huguenot colony, and the victims of \nthe Boston Massacre. Franklin's parents have the most conspicuous mon- \nument, erected in 1827 by citizens to replace one put up by the philoso- \npher himself. This peaceful burial-ground was founded in 1660 ; and \nreceived its trees in 1830 ; the high iron fence and ivy-clad granite portal \nin 1840; and the memorial bronze tablets in 1882. A State monument \nto John Hancock is to be erected here soon. The glorious English elms \nset out in front of the burial-ground by Maj. Paddock, in 1762, were \nfurtively cut down by our municipality in 1873. \n\nThe Granary, the largest building in Boston, was maintained by the \ntown during most of the last century, holding 12,000 bushels of grain in \nreserve, to be sold at cost to the poor in time of famine. It stood on the \nplace of the Park-St. Church, a plain old-fashioned meeting-house with a \nreally fine spire, built by an English architect in 1809. The intense \northodoxy here preached won for the locality the name of Brimstone \nCorner ; and the great choir had a wide renown. \n\nMusic Hall, built in 1852, at the end of Hamilton Place, opposite \nPark-St. Church (with main entrance from Winter St.), is the centre of \nmusical culture, and the home of the world-renowned Boston Symphony \nOrchestra, the Handel and Hayden Society's oratorios, and the concerts \nof the Apollo, Cecilia, and other organizations. It is a large, lofty, \nsimply adorned hall, admirable as to acoustics, and with 2,600 seats. The \ngreat organ of 5,474 pipes was in 1885 removed to the New-England \nConservatory of Music ; and near its place now stands Crawford's grand \nbronze statue of Beethoven. In this hall the churches ministered to by \nTheodore Parker, W. R. Alger, and W. H. H. Murray, held their ser- \nvices. In summer evenings popular promenade concerts, known as the \n\" Pops,\" are held here. \n\nPark Street leads up from the church alongside the Common to the \nState House. It formerly contained the Bridewell (built in 1712), the \nWorkhouse for \"rogues and vagabonds\" (1738), and the Town Pound. \nLater, it was lined with patrician homes, now converted into stores, \noffices and club-rooms. At 2 Park St. Doll & Richards occupy a lofty \nand spacious building containing very interesting collections of engrav- \nings, etchings, photographs, sculpture and other art-works, and a multitude \nof fine paintings.

At 8 Park St., the old Abbott-Lawrence mansion, is \nthe Union Club, founded in 1863, to advance the cause of the imperilled \nAmerican Republic, and presided over successively by Everett, Loring, \nDana, Lee, Shaw, Russell, and Lowell ; Sumner, Andrew, Hoar, Rice, \nGray and other patriots holding many councils here. It is now an aristo- \ncratic social club, with about 500 members, mostly professional men no \nlonger young. Next above is the former home of Gov. Gore, artist Mal- \nbone, Secretary-of-War Dexter, and George Ticknor (from 1830 to 1871), \nthe illustrious scholar. Here Lafayette dwelt for a week, in 1824. The \nAppalachian Mountain Club, with 1,000 members, has its rooms here. \n\nBoston Common, the most famous of American parks, historically, is \na noble expanse of 48 undulating acres of green turf and tall forest trees, \nin the very heart of the Puritan City. It was set apart in the very begin- \nning, when a boulder-strewn and treeless expanse of huckleberry bushes, \n\"for a trayning field and the feeding of cattell\"; and penalties awaited \nall who spread stones, trash or carrion thereupon. The lowing kine were \nexcluded in 1830, but the armed train-bands still march upon the parade- \nground. Grand armies have been reviewed here ; Lord Amherst's bri- \ngades of Marlborough's British veterans, Baron de Viomenil's shining \narmy of Rochambeau's French troops, Washington's columns of victori- \nous American infantry, and countless regiments on the way to the War for \nthe Union, and militia commands of later days. There were only three \ntrees here in colonial times, but the great Mall on Tremont St. was \nplanted in 1722-34, the Beacon-St. Mall in 181 5-16, that on Charles St. \nin 1823, and that on Park St. in 1826. Most of the trees were cut down \nin 1775-76, for fuel by the British garrison, whose camps and redoubts \ncovered the Common ; and on the day of their departure they set about \nto destroy those remaining, but were prevented by Gen. Howe. Military \nexecutions, duels, revivals by Whitefield and Lee, hangings of Quakers \nand insurgent Indians, marquee banquets, drum-head elections, and many \nother picturesque incidents have invested this venerable public domain \nwith profound interest. The Ridge Path (so-called for a century), paved \nwith asphalt blocks, and overarched by trees, leads from West St. to the \nProvidence station, and is the busiest thoroughfare of the Common. \nThe Long Path, a narrow track from Joy St. to Boylston St., is immortal- \nized in Dr. Holmes's Autocrat of the Breakfast Table. It passes the Frog \nPond, and the enrailed site of the Great Elm, older than Boston, which \nwas blown down in 1876. In the burying-ground (opened in 1 757), hun- \ndreds of British soldiers lie, in long trenches ; and also the remains of \nthe artist Stuart and many others. Near Tremont St. is the Crispus At- \ntucks Monument, erected in 18S8, to the victims of the Boston Massacre \nof 1770, bearing an energetic bronze statue of Revolution breaking the \n\n\n... \n\n\n*&a$5ej!T. :/-. \n\n\nBOSTON COMMON. \n\nTREMONT, PARK, BEACON, CHARLES AND BOYLSTON STREETS. \n\n\n95 \n\n\n[vT.I.SPl'S ATTl.'CKS ,v\\Ov'i .m:s'T. \n\n\nBOSTON COMMON. \n\n26 TREMONT, PARK, BEACON, CHARLES AND BOYLSTON STREET8. \n\n\nA'ing's \"Hotm to See Boston.'1'' 97 \n\nchains of tyranny.

Near Park St. is the arid Brewer \nFountain, whose statues of Neptune, Amphitnte, Acis and Galatea are \npopularly supposed to represent the Four Seasons (\"of perpetual \ndrought,\" Howells says). Near the State House is the monument (still in \nprocess of construction) designed by St. Gaudens to commemorate the \nvalor of Col. Robert G. Shaw, slain in storming Fort Wagner, S. C, and \n\"buried with his niggers.\" On Flagstaff Hill, over the parade, rises the \nArmy and Navy Monument, erected in 1871-77, from Martin Milmore's \ndesign, at a cost of $75,000. It is a lofty white-granite Roman Doric \ncolumn, bearing a colossal statue of the Genius of America, facing the \nsouth, the American flag in one hand, and in the other laurel wreaths and \na drawn sword. At the base are high-relief statues of the North, South, \nEast and West ; below these, on projecting pedestals, bronze statues of \nPeace, the Sailor (a capital work), the Muse of History and the Soldier. \nThe great bronze reliefs are : The Departure for the War, showing \nLowell, Shaw, Butler, Andrew, Phillips, Longfellow, Vinton, Phillips \nBrooks and others ; the Sanitary Commission, with E. E. Hale, J. R. \nLowell, Rice, Ticknor, and Wilder ; The Return from the War, with \nAndrew, Bartlett, Banks, Devens, Claflin and Sumner ; and the Departure \nof the Sailors and a naval battle. The inscription, by President Eliot of \nHarvard, is : \n\nTo the Men of Boston who died for their Country on land \n\nAND SEA IN THE WAR WHICH KEPT THE UNION WHOLE, DESTROYED \nSLAVERY, AND MAINTAINED THE CONSTITUTION, THE GRATEFUL ClTY \nHAS BUILT THIS MONUMENT THAT THEIR EXAMPLE MAY SPEAK TO \nCOMING GENERATIONS. \n\nIn the old days, the tides of the Back Bay flowed along the western \nside of the Common, from which there was a charming sunset view across \nthe water to \"the country shore\" of Brookline. The telescope man \n(Dr. Holmes's \"Galileo of the Mall\") and many itinerant musicians, \npeddlers and fakirs haunt the edges of the Common ; youths play ball on \nthe Parade ; pensive poets and tramps and tired shoppers and rustics rest \nupon the benches ; nurse-maids and watery dogs haunt the Frog Pond ; \nand on summer evenings thousands of people assemble here at the fine \nband-concerts. \n\nReturning from this divagation, to Tremont and Park Sts., let us recall \nthat, in 1800, the east side of Tremont St., from Scollay Square to Boylston \nSt., had only twenty scattered houses, mostly wooden dwellings, with \ntrees and rambling outbuildings. \n\nWinter St. is a short and narrow way, leading to Washington St.,. \ncrowded with bright retail stores, — -dry goods, trimmings, jewelry stores,, \netc., — -hence also crowded with ladies anxiously shopping. The greatest \nattraction in Winter St. is the extensive establishment of Shepard, Nor- \nwell & Co., 26 to 42, one of the largest, best stocked and most satisfac- \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.'1'' 99 \n\ntory of Boston's dry-goods houses, including many varied departments. \nIt extends through the block to Temple Place. On the north side of \nWinter St. is the entrance to Music Hall. In Winter Place is the \nWinter-Place Hotel, which succeeded Ober's French Restaurant. It is \nan exceptionally attractive restaurant, saloon and cafe, — the most costly \nand showy in the city. At Winter St. and Winter Place is the site of \nSam. Adams's home. \n\nOn Tremont St., between Winter St. and Temple Place, rises the gray \nVirginia sandstone portico of St. Paul's Church (Episcopal), built in 1820, \nto be a model of ancient classic art, and with the intent of having carv- \nings representing St. Paul and Agrippa in the pediment. The simple and \nbeautiful interior has a panelled cylindrical ceiling, a rich chancel window \nshowing St. Paul at Athens, several mural tablets, the pew of Daniel \nWebster (No. 25), and, underneath, many tombs, now no longer in use. \n\nAt Tremont St. and Temple Place, next St. Paul's, is the dark granite \nbuilding erected in 1830-32 for a Masonic Temple, and later the seat of \nthe school kept by A. B. Alcott and Margaret Fuller, and of perform- \nances by Fanny Kemble and Ole Bull. From 1858 to 1885 it belonged \nto the United- States Government, and was the seat of the Federal courts. \nSkilful engineers then lifted it high into the air, and put under it two tall \nstories of iron pillars and glass windows ; and the whole structure, very \ndecidedly remodelled, has since been occupied by the fashionable and \npopular dry-goods establishment of R. H. Stearns & Co. \n\nTemple Place, one block long, from Tremont to Washington St., \nabounding in street-cars, is made bright by the ladies shopping. Here \nstands the Provident Institution for Savings, the oldest savings-bank in \nAmerica, founded in 1816, and holding nearly $30,000,000 on deposit. \nEmerson's, at 35 Temple Place, was founded in 1842 by D. R. Emerson, \nand has a very large retail trade in rich laces, trimmings, buttons, and \nother small wares, in amazing variety. T. D. Whitney & Co., at 39 Tem- \nple Place, have one of the finest linen stores in the United States, whence \nthe households and wardrobes of thousands of well-to-do families are sup- \nplied. The Whitney linen store has a fame far beyond the limits of Bos- \nton, and from many miles around the city come its patrons. \n\nBeyond Temple Place, Tremont St. affords a picturesquely brilliant \nscene, with handsome stores on one side, and the abundant foliage of the \nCommon on the other. The sidewalk is broad, and pleasantly accommo- \ndates the crowds of promenaders, from Harrison-avenue Chinamen and \nNorth-End dagoes up to learned Puritan scholars or violet-bearing Sym- \nphony girls. This thoroughfare, with attractive shops on one side and \numbrageous gardens on the other, leading up to a hill crowned by a famous \npublic building, has been likened to the ever-charming Princes St. in \nEdinburgh. Dickens said; \" My old likeness of Boston to Edinburgh \nhas been constantly revived. \" \n\nWest St. once had the pillory and whipping-post at its head. At No. \n30 is the Universalist Publishing House and headquarters, and the office \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.\" ioi \n\nof The Christian Leader. Here are the main offices of the Boston and \nBay-State Gas-Light Companies, and various candy and other retail stores. \n\nTremont St., towards Boylston, for some years has been called \nPiano Row, for a long row of piano agencies occupied a good portion \nof the block ; but of late most of these have migrated to Boylston \nSt. Chickering Hall, at 152 Tremont St., was for many years a favorite \nplace for fashionable musicales, and the headquarters of the musical pro- \nfession. Opposite the departing \" Piano Row \" stands the tumultuous \nMassacre (or Crispus Attucks) Monument, on the Common. \n\nThe Tremont Theatre, at 176 Tremont St., dates from 1889, and is \none of the most beautiful and fashionable play-houses in Boston, cele- \nbrated for its Renaissance decorations, delicate colorings, and other charm- \ning details. It occupies the site of the Haymarket Theatre, opened in \n1796. \n\nThe Masonic Temple, fronting on the Common, at Tremont and \nBoylston Sts., is a noble granite building, seven stories high, and 85 \nfeet front, with a tower 121 feet high. The pillars of rare marble, \nJachin and Boaz, adorn the sides of the entrance. All above the ground- \nfloor is occupied by Masonic organizations ; and the Corinthian, Egyptian \nand Gothic halls are very attractive. The Temple was founded in 1864, \nand dedicated on St. John's day, 1867, with an immense Masonic street \nparade, in which President Andrew Johnson appeared. Here meet the \nGrand Lodge of Massachusetts, the Grand Royal Arch Chapter, the \nGrand Council Royal and Select Masters, the Grand Commandery of \nKnights Templar, and about 30 lodges, besides the lodges of the Ancient \nand Accepted Scottish Rite. The first American Masonic lodge was or- \nganized in Boston, in 1733 ; St. Andrew's Lodge, for many decades the \nowner of the Green-Dragon Tavern, or Freemason's Arms, was chartered \nby the Grand Lodge of Scotland in 1756; and later this and certain \nlodges in the British regiments formed the first grand lodge, of which \nGen. Warren and Paul Revere became Grand Masters. The temple is in- \ntended \"to suggest the most effective poetical and historical associations \nconnected with the Masonic institution.\" \n\nWhere Tremont St. leaves the Common, to meander away into the \nremote South End, Boylston St. turns to the right toward the sumptuous \nBack-Bay District, and to the left to the crowded Washington St. On \none corner is the Hotel Pelham, a huge apartment and office house ; and \nanother, the Hotel Boylston, an office-building belonging to the Adams \nestate, on the site of the home of President J. Q. Adams and the birth \nplace of C. F. Adams, Sr. \n\nThe Young Men's Christian Union has a handsome and spacious \nGothic building of Ohio sandstone^all paid for), with a clock-tower, at \n48 Boylston St. ; and welcomes strangers to its pleasant parlors, halls, \nreading and correspondence rooms, and other departments, open every \nday and evening. The Union dates from 1 85 1, and is a great philan- \nthropic agency, with 5,000 members, classes, games, baths, an immense \n\n\nTHE MASONIC TEMPLE. \n\n102 TREMONT STREET, NORTHEAST CORNER OF BOYLSTON STREET, OPPOSITE THE COMMON. \n\n\nMASONiO TEMPLE. \n\n\nHOTEL B0YL8T0N. \n\n\nBOVLSTON STREET.

Its great usefulness is \nmainly due to the eminently practical president, William H. Baldwin, who \nhas energetically devoted the better part of a lifetime to its welfare. The \nHotel Reynolds, at Boylston and Washington Sts. , with 250 rooms, has \nin its public halls rich flower-paintings by Abbott Graves. \n\nThe light sandstone Continental Building, at Boylston and Washington \nSts., covers the site of the Boylston Market, which stood from 1809 to \n1888. It is an office-building, with a clothing-store on the ground floor, \nand the general offices and supply headquarters of Bouve, Crawford & \nCo., the makers of the \"Crawford Shoe,\" on the second story. \n\nOpposite the foot of Boylston St., high up on 630 Washington St., is \na tablet carved with a tree, showing where the Liberty Tree stood, and \nthe Sons of Liberty held their fiery meetings before the Revolution, and \nhung effigies of British nobles. Close to the Liberty-Tree block, at \n658 Washington St., is the huge and handsome Pray Building, built and \nowned by John H. Pray, Sons & Co., a business founded in 181 7, and \ntransacting one of the most extensive trades in the world, in all varieties \nof carpets, mattings, rugs, and upholsteries. On the upper floors of this \nbuilding are the executive offices of the General Society of Christian \nEndeavor, whose hosts, numbering, it is said, upwards of 75,000, will \nconvene in Boston in July, 1895. Here, too, are the offices of The Golden \nRule, a family weekly, the Prang Educational Co. and L. Prang & Co., \nthe world-famous art-publishers. \n\nEssex St. curves away to the harbor, passing, a block east, the \nChinese quarter, which extends along Harrison Avenue from Essex to \nKneeland Sts. The Harrison- Avenue extension in 1882 destroyed the \nhome of Wendell Phillips, on the north side of Essex St. ; and that of \nTheodore Parker, at Exeter Place. \n\nAt Washington and Essex Sts. is the office of The Pilot, a strong \nCatholic newspaper, founded in 1838. \n\nWashington St., narrow, winding and picturesque, has been called \nthe most crowded thoroughfare in the world. Its sharp curves, termi- \nnated by quaint or handsome buildings, produce startling architectural \neffects ; its narrow sidewalks are trod by jostling thousands ; and its road- \nway is a close jam of vehicles. The block between Boylston and West \nSts. is the Theatre District, affording a brilliant and inspiring scene at \nevening and matinee hours. The Park Theatre is a handsome house, \nbuilt for H. E. Abbey in 1879, but now leased by John Stetson. Oppo- \nsite stood until it was burned (in 1894) the Globe Theatre, founded in \n1867, where Neilson, Bernhardt, Duse, and Salvini played. B. F. Keith's \nNew Theatre, opened in 1882, on the site of the Lion Theatre of 1836, \nand quite recently rebuilt, is said to be the handsomest small theatre in \nthe world. It gives genteel continuous vaudeville and varieties from 10 \nA. M. to 10 P. M., at low prices. \n\nThe Boston Theatre, built in 1854, is one of the largest and best in \nAmerica, with seats for 3,000, an enormous stage, and handsome lobbies. \n\n\nBOUVE, CRAWFORD & CO., CORPORATION.- ' THE CRAWFORD SHOE.\" \n\nBOYLSTON BUILDING, WA&rilNGTON STREET, SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BOYLSTON STREET. 105 \n\n\nSCALE OF FEET \n\n100 2f0 \n\n\nJordan.

The Elks' building is at 24 Hayward Place. \n\nIn the midst of these theatres are the lofty, triple-towered marble \nwalls of the Adams House, a European-plan hotel of 400 apartments, \nwith a noble public dining-hall and singularly attractive dining and writ- \ning rooms. It occupies the site of the ancient Lamb Tavern, opened in \n1745 ; and bears the name of a former proprietor, the father of \"Oliver \nOptic.\" By its side is Clark's Hotel, a popular resort for men. \n\nIn every direction appear well-known firm-names, from whose shops \nmyriads of shoppers from all New England replenish their worn-out \nclothing and jewelry, books and music, and a thousand other articles. \nIt forms a lively and pleasing scene, extending over the short streets \nleading westward to the trees of the Common, and those toward the \nwholesale district, \"stretching saltwards to the docks. \" Note the long- \nestablished jewelry-store of Bigelow, Kennard & Co., at Washington St., \nsouthwest corner of West St., with its extensive and varied artistic treas- \nures of jewelry, silverware, plated ware, precious stones, watches, bronzes, \netc. The house dates back many years, and is one of the oldest and \nmost highly esteemed firms in Boston. \n\nOn Washington St., at the southeast corner of Bedford, is the enor- \nmous, flamboyant Gothic structure of R. H. White & Co., the largest and \ngrandest retail establishment in New England. \n\nAmong the most fascinating of the stores on Washington St. is the \ngreat toy emporium of Richard Schwarz, at 484 and 486, by far the largest \nconcern of its kind in the city. Everything desirable in imported or \ndomestic toys, games and fancy goods, from the tiniest to the biggest, \nfrom the lowest-priced to the most costly, is shown here in endless \nvariety. At Temple Place is the dry-goods house of Houston & Hen- \nderson. \n\nAt the corner of Washington and Avon Sts. is the immense Palladian \nbuilding of Jordan, Marsh & Co., which easily ranks equal to the greatest \nbazaars of the world. At 451 and 453 Washington St. is the renowned \nmusic-publishing house of the Oliver Ditson Company. \n\nOn Summer St., east of Washington St., is the massive granite build- \ning, which is part of the group occupied by the substantial and esteemed \ndry-goods establishment of C. F. Hovey & Co. \n\nAt 398 and 400 are the Macullar, Parker & Company's buildings, \nwhere, in light and airy rooms, 600 liberally paid and generously treated \nemployees make upon honor the finest clothing possible, all of which is \nsold at retail on the main floor. At 403 are the offices of the American \nWaltham Watch Company, whose vast works at Waltham employ 2,000 \nskilled artisans. At 81 Hawley St., is the wholesale piece goods depart- \nment of Macullar, Parker & Co. \n\n\nM$WI^|Mf0P^ \n\n\n110 \n\n\nBIQELOW, KENNARD & CO., JEWELERS AND SILVERSMITHS. \n\nWASHINGTON STREET, SOUTHWEST CORNER OF WEST STREET. \n\n\nHARVEV F IS*' & SONS \n\n\nSTOCK EXCHANGE. \n\n\nKILBV STPEET. \n\nHARVEY FISK & SONS, BANKERS AND BOND DEALERS. \n\nSTATE STREET, SOUTHEAST CORNER KILBY, OPPOSITE BOSTON STOCK EXCHANGE. \n\n\nJORDAN, HARSH 4 CO.

It is a bright \nhome newspaper, giving all the important news and eliminating the de- \ntails of crimes and immoralities. It has quite a strong support through \nfhis section of the country, and bids fair to make a permanent success. \n\nThe first newspaper in America, Publick Occurrences, appeared in \noston in 1690, and was forthwith suppressed by the General Court. \n\"he next, and the first permanent paper in America, was The Boston \n\\ civs-Letter, published weekly from 1704 to 1776. \n\nAt 381, immediately opposite the head of Franklin St., is the aristo- \ncratic and extensive Collins & Fairbanks establishment, noted for its rich \nlisplay of fashionable hats and caps, canes and umbrellas, a large por- \ntion of the stock being made or imported exclusively for this firm. \nAt 365 is the Archway book-store of DeWolfe, Fiske & Co., with an \nextensive stock of popular books.

Back of the rows of \nbuildings on Washington St. may be seen the top of one of Boston's pecu- \nliar hotels, known as Clark's Boston Tavern, patronized solely by men. \nIt is a ten-story building, of fire-proof construction, and has a first-class \nrestaurant, and comfortable accommodations. It occupies a part of the \nsite of the old Province House, which stood from 1667 to 1864, and which \nin 171 5 became the State residence of the vice-regal governors. It was \nfinally burned, but its walls remain in other structures on the same site. \nAt the corner of Washington and Milk Sts. is the granite building of \nthe Boston Transcript, the favorite family tea-table paper, always refined \nand literary in tone. It is staunchly Republican, and was founded in \n1830.

The \npresent structure, dating from \n1729, was the scene of the \ngreat patriotic town-meetings \nbefore the Revolution, the de- \nparting point of the Tea- \nParty Indians, the cavalry \nriding-school of the British \ngarrison, the hall of the an- \nnual Election Sermons for 160 \nyears, and many other stirring \nevents. The advance of trade \ndrove the parishioners to dis- \ntant homes, wherefore the \nThird Society gave up this \nchurch, and built a new one, \non the Back Bay, in 1872-74. \nThe old site had an immense \nvalue for business purposes ; \nand the society sold it (with \nthe building)' to the Old \nSouth Preservation Commit- \ntee for $430,000, to be pre- \nserved as \"The Nurserv and \nSanctuary of Freedom.\" It \nis occupied by a rich and \nvaried museum of Colonial \nand Revolutionary relics, \nweapons, flags, furniture, \npictures, etc., open daily, \n\n\nTHE OLD SOUTH. \n\nWASHINGTON, NORTHEAST COR.

From this block are published the Jour- \nnal, the Post, the Herald, the Advertiser, the Record, and the Globe, all \nof the daily papers excepting the Traveler, Transcript, and Standard. \n\n\nGRANARY BURYING GROUND, TREMONT STREET, BETWEEN BEACON AND PARK STREETS. \n\nThe Journal, at Washington and Water Sts., is a thoroughly good morn- \ning and evening paper (founded in 1833) of great circulation, intensely \ndevoted to Republicanism. \n\nThe Post, a bright Democratic one-cent morning paper, with a three- \ncent Sunday edition, dates from 1S31, and has its home at 259 Washington \nSt. The Boston Herald, at 255, the foremost of all the New-England \npapers, has one of the finest and best-equipped newspaper buildings in ex- \nistence (erected in 1877-7S), six stories high, in French Renaissance \narchitecture. It is independent in politics. It was founded in 1846 ; and \nhas several admirable daily editions, and a superb Sunday issue.

E. Hale. The paper has always been calm, dig- \nnified and refined, Republican in politics, and paying special attention to \nmaritime and commercial news. The Evening Record is a bright, spicy, \nand pungent penny paper, started in 18S4, by the Advertiser corporation. \nAt 236-238 the Globe, a strictly Democratic two-cent paper, with several \neditions each day, and with a monster Sunday paper, has a huge and \nhandsome brown-stone building. It was started as a high-class literary \n\njournal, in 1S72, by Maturin M. Ballou and \nothers ; and after several changes came under \nthe present management, which has made it a \nmarked success as a wide-awake newsgatherer \nfor the masses, with an immense circulation. \n\nIn the midst of the newspapers, at 254, is \nthe eminent publishing and importing house of \nLittle, Brown & Co., with its own exceptionally \n\nstrong list of standard \nbooks on law, history, \nand general literature, \nand the choicest stock \nof imported and Ameri- \ncan books of all pub- \nlishers. The business \nwas established over a \ncentury ago. The build- \ning belongs to Harvard \nUniversity. \n\nIn and around News- \npaper Row are many \nwell-known periodicals; \nand likewise enterpris- \ning shops of all kinds, \nnotably the Crawford \nShoe-store, one of the \nscores of branches of \nBouve, Crawford & Co. , \n■whose signs cover the \nwhole building at 225. \nEating-places, too, abound, including the Silver Grill, 263, Dennett's, 243, \nMrs. Atkinson's, 239, Hart's Imperial, 231, and Thompson's Spa, at 219. \n\nTwo quaint pedestrians' alleys lead to Court Square, back of the City \nHall — Williams Court and Court Avenue, winding around by the hidden \nmain entrance of Young's Hotel. It is only a few steps from Newspaper \nRow to the Old State House and State St., and to Court St., curving \naround to Scollay Square. \n\n\nPARK STREET CHURCH AND GRANARY BURYING GROUND, \nTREMONT AND PARK STREETS. \n\n\n\"THE CRAWFORD SHOE\" STORE, BOUVE, CRAWFORD & CO. 1^ \n\nNO. 225 WASHINGTON STREET, NORTH OF THE \" HERALD\" AND OPPOSITE THE \"GLOBE.\" \n\n\nTHE BACK-BAY DISTRICT. \n\n\nTHIS grandly interesting part of Boston was made by filling up the im- \nmense salty bay of the Charles River back of Boston. It is now a very \nbeautiful residence-quarter, with the fine churches, notable public build- \nings, and palatial hotels-1— in fact, the show district, the Court end, of \nthe city. The Back-Bay cars, as well as other lines, taken at Scollay \nSquare, or on Tremont St. along the Common, traverse this section. \nTurning from Tremont into Boylston St. (the ancient Frog Lane), at the \nsouth end of the Common, we pass the Hotel Pelham (studios and offices) ; \nthe building occupied by the Public Library from 1858 to 1895 ; and the \nsecluded Boylston Place, in which (at No. 4) stands the house of the \nTavern Club, made up of 100 authors, artists and musicians. Howells \nand C. E. Norton have been its presidents ; and receptions have been \ngiven to Holmes, Booth, Irving, Sala, and other great men. At 18 Boyl- \nston Place is the \nBoston Library, \nfounded in 1794, \nwith 28,000 vol- \numes ; and at No. \n19, the Mass. Med- \nical Society. One \nside of Boylston St. \nis the Common, \nwhere the excavat- \ning for the con- \nstruction of the \nSubway has begun \nas this book goes \nto press. \n\nThe Subway is \nfor the relief of the \ncongestion in the \nheart of Boston by \nthe opening of an \nunderground street \nacross the centre of \nthe city.

It will be water-tight, brilliantly lighted and \nperfectly ventilated, warmer in winter and cooler in summer than the sur- \nface streets. All the street-car tracks over its line will be removed from \nthe surface and run through it, thus affording a complete clearance of the \nsurface streets, for the better accommodation of travel and avoidance of its \nexisting dangers. By ingenious engineering there will be no grade cross- \ning in the Subway, and passengers can take any car desired without cross- \ning a track. \n\nOn the north side of Boylston St., about midway between Tremont \nSt. and Park Square, at 1 56, is the very interesting establishment of the \nMurdoch Parlor Grate Company, a title somewhat misleading from the \n\nfact that, besides parlor grates, this con- \ncern manufactures and puts up an in- \nfinite variety of high art metal, mosaic \nand woodwork, and supplies every \nnecessity or ornament of the modern \nor ancient fireplace. A visit to this \nestablishment will be well repaid. \n\nPark Square is the diverging point \nof the broad and beautiful Columbus \nAvenue, to the South End, and Charles \nSt., to the West End. It contains Ball's \nbronze Emancipation Group, showing \nAbraham Lincoln, and a slave kneeling \nat his feet, with fetters falling away. \nThe pedestal is of polished red granite. \nThis statuary was cast at Munich in \n1879, at a cost of $17,000, and given \nby Moses Kimball. Here is the majes- \ntic Gothic terminal of the Providence \nDivision of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. \nto Providence (and New York), erected \nat a cost of $800,000, with a noble \nclock-tower, a beautiful Gothic hall \n(180 by 44 feet, and 80 feet high), and \na very thorough equipment. It is 850 \nfeet long, one of the largest in the world. This station is the terminal \nof the trains connecting with the glorious Sound steamers for New York, \n— the \"Providence Line,\" and the \"Fall-River Line.\" The Providence \nroad was chartered in 1831, and finished in 1835. The station stands on \nthe beach whence the British troops embarked on their mournful raid \nupon Lexington, in 1775. The tall building on the east corner of Boyls- \nton St. occupies the site of the gun-houses of the Sea Fencibles and \nNew-England Guards, and Wm. M. Hunt's studio. On Carver St., back \nof it, Julian Hawthorne was born. Charles St. starts at Park Square, \nand runs between the Common and the Public Garden. \n\n\nARMY AND NAVY MONUMENT, BOSTON COMMON. \n\n\nKing's '■'■How to See Boston.'''' \n\n\n!33 \n\n\nBoylston St. thence westward, facing the Public Garden, was until \nlately a favorite residence-quarter, but is fast being occupied by fashion- \nable retail stores. \n\nA prominent attraction for all visitors and residents is the famous Wil- \nliams & Everett art-gallery, at 190, with its rich artistic interior and its \ncollection of European and American paintings, etchings, carbons, statu- \nary and photographs, many exhibited in ingenious, exquisite and appro- \npriate frames from the firm's own shops. This historic firm began in \n1810, and took its present style in 1855. The most prominent establish- \nment on Boylston St. is the great and handsome brown-stone building of \nL. P. Hollander & Co., 202 to 210, which is filled with the finest and \n\n\nTREMONT STREET, SOUTH OF PARK STREET. ENTRANCE TO BOSTON COMMON. \n\nmost exquisite fabrics and costumes for ladies and children, and a vast \nvariety of dainty articles for personal adornment. It is the most aristo- \ncratic establishment of its kind in New England. On Boylston St., at \n198, is Vercelli's, where Italian table d'hote dinners are served and at \nChurch St. is the Thorndike, a pleasant and well-situated European-plan \nhotel, built in 1885-86. \n\nThe Public Garden occupies a site which, with the parade ground on \nthe Common, was formerly covered with marshes and salt water, flowing \nfreely with the sea-tides. Rope-walks were erected here in 1794 ; but \nsubsequently the area was filled in, and in 1862 the municipality fenced, \ngraded and laid out the Garden. It is now a very beautiful park of 24 \n\n\n134 \n\n\nKing's \" How to See Boston.'''' \n\n\nacres, with groups of choice trees and shrubbery, rich lawns, statuary, \nand a 4-acre lake abounding in quaint boats and crossed by \"the Bridge \nof Size\" (a ponderous affair, for footmen). The flower display is one of \nthe most superb in the world, being drawn from millions of plants in the \nCity hot-houses. In late spring come 100,000 crocuses, 500,000 or more \nvivid tulips and hyacinths, narcissi and lilies, and 100,000 golden lilies \nof Japan, followed by 700,000 pansy-plants, and daisies and forget-me- \nnots, and these by the June pomps of i6?ooo rose-bushes and 10,000 hy- \ndrangeas, and many magnolias, tropical palms, ferns, and india-rubber \ntrees. On a pleasant Sunday from 40,000 to 80,000 persons visit the \ngarden. Thirty beds were given up in 1895 to ricn carpet-bedding, or small \nfoliage-plants, showing in their proper colors the emblems and badges of \nthe Christian Endeavor Society and the Knights Templar. \n\nThe memorials include (on the south, or Boylston-St. side) : Ball's \nbronze statue of Charles Sumner, erected in 1878, from a popular sub- \nscription of $15,000 ; and a \nstiff little granite statue of \nCol. Cass, of the 9th Mass. ; \n(West side), Ball's noble \nequestrian Washington, the \nfinest statue in New Eng- \nland, erected in 1869, 22 feet \nhigh, on a base 16 feet high, \nand designed, made and paid \nfor in Massachusetts; a grace- \nful fountain-veiled statue of \nVenus Rising from the Sea, \npopularly called \" The Maid \noft/ieJfist\"; and the Ether \nMonument, a stone shaft ris- \ning from a square basin, and \ncrowned with statues of the \nGood Samaritan and his suf- \nfering protege, dedicated in \n1868, to commemorate the \nproving of the anaesthetic \npowers of ether, at the Mass. \nGeneral Hospital in 1846. J. Q. A. Ward was the sculptor; T. Lee, the \ndonor. On the Beacon-St. side is Story's dramatic bronze statue of \nEdward Everett, modelled at Rome, cast at Munich, and erected here \nby a popular subscription in 1867. The portrait is capital, and the ges- \nture a favorite one of Everett's. As Mr. Howells says : \n\nli Boston seemed to be a great place for images. An image of Washington on \nhorseback, and some orator speaking, with his hand up, and on top of a monument \na kind of Turk held up a man who looked sick. The man was almost naked, but \nhe was not so bad as the image of a woman in a granite basin ; it seemed to \nBarker that it ought not to be allowed there. . . . The marble Venus of the \n\n\nST.

At No. 16 is the Swedenborgian \nheadquarters. The Arlington-St. Church (Unitarian), the first built on \nthe Back Bay (in 1 861), exemplifies Wren's London architecture, and has \na sweet chime of 16 bells in its tail freeston,e spire, and a white Corinthian \ninterior. It succeeds the Irish Church of the Presbyterian Strangers, \nfounded in Long Lane (Federal St.) in 1727 ; and has had Charming and \nGannett for pastors. The church lot is assessed at $360,000. Near by, \nat 2 Newbury St., is the pleasant house of the St. Botolph Club, of prom- \ninent professional men, artists and authors (like N. Y. Century Club), \nfounded in 1880, and for some years presided over by Parkman. Nearly \nopposite is Emmanuel Episcopal Church, built in 1861-62, of Roxbury \nstone, and led by Huntington, Vinton and Parks. Dr. Vinton's bronze \nportrait tablet was made by St. Gaudens. \n\nThe Young Men's Christian Association has on Boylston St., at the \nsouthwest corner of Berkeley, a spacious and imposing Scottish-baronial \nbuilding, erected in 1883, at a cost of $300,000. There are about 5,000 \nmembers, under easy entrance-conditions, though only members of evan- \ngelical churches may be voters and office-holders. It freely welcomes \nstrangers to its parlors, library, reading-room, and game-room ; and pro- \nvides lectures, concerts, receptions, classes, a spacious hall, and an elabo- \nrate and very large gymnasium. It was formed in 185 1 and is the oldest \nY. M. C. A. in the Republic. \n\nOn Berkeley St., just north of Boylston, is the Catholic nunnery- \nschool and novitiate of Notre Dame. \n\nThe Museum of Natural History, on Boylston St., at the northwest \ncorner of Berkeley, was built in 1864, for a society incorporated in 1 831, \non land given by the State ; and has a library of 20,000 volumes, and \nvast collections of birds, insects, fossils, skeletons, stuffed elephants and \nlions and other remarkable objects. It is open free Wednesdays and Sat- \nurdays (25 cents on other days). Burgess, the yacht-designer, was long \nthe librarian here. The stately building is adorned with carved animals' \nheads on keystones, and eagle on roof, and has a fine Corinthian portico. \n\nThe Central Congregational Church, on Berkeley St., just north of the \nMuseum, was built in 1867, of Roxbury stone, after designs by Upjohn, \nthe famous Gothic architect ; and resembles a miniature cathedral in its \necclesiastical symmetry. The stone spire rises 236 feet, and is the tallest \nin the city, and, according to Dr. Holmes, by far the most beautiful. \nThe interior was remodelled and superbly decorated in 1894-95, by the \nTiffany Co., of New York, with favrile glass, a rich churchly chancel, and \na famous sanctuary lamp. The society began in 1835, and built in Winter \nSt. in 1 841. It has been led by John E. Todd, J. T. Duryea and E. L. \nClark. \n\n\n140 King's \"How to See Boston.\" \n\nThe First Church (Unitarian), north of the Central, at Berkeley and \nMarlborough Sts., was built in 1868, at a cost of $325,000; and is a \ncharming bit of English Gothic architecture, of Roxbury stone, with \ncloisters and a low steeple, and a rich dark interior, with London stained \nwindows and a German organ. Winthrop and Dudley founded the society, \nin 1630 ; and for a century and a half it was Trinitarian Congregationalist. \nIts first church (in 1632-40) was at 27 State'St. ; the second (1640-1711) \nand third (1713-1808 — \"The Old Brick\"), at 209 Washington St. (near \nCourt) ; and the fourth (1S08-68), in Chauncy Place, near Summer St. \n\nThe Mass. Institute of Technology, with two of its buildings and the \nNatural-History Museum charmingly filling the whole block on the north \nside of Boylston St., between Clarendon and Berkeley, is the leading tech- \nnical and industrial-science college in America, if not in the world. It was \nincorporated in 1 86 1 ; and teaches engineering, chemistry, metallurgy, \narchitecture, physics, geology, etc., to more than 1,000 youths. Francis \nA. Walker is president. Several courses of free public lectures are given \nhere yearly, by the foremost American and British scholars, from the in- \ncome of $237,000 bequeathed therefor in 1839, by John Lowell, Jr., a \nBostonian dying at Bombay. Among the Lowell lecturers have been \nPalfrey, Lowell, Howells, Agassiz, Lyell and Tyndall. \n\nThe Hotel Brunswick, one of the most delightful and most charmingly \nsituated hotels of the world, is on the south side of Boylston St., at the \ncorner of Clarendon, forming part of the east end of Copley Square. It \nis opposite the Technology Institute, and in the immediate vicinity of \nTrinity Church, the Art Museum, the Public Library, etc. It was built in \n1874-76, at a cost of .$1,000,000, with sumptuous furnishings, fine archi- \ntecture, and an unrivalled situation. Among its guests have been Presi- \ndents Grant, Hayes and Arthur, and the Dukes of Argyll and Sutherland. \nThe proprietors are Barnes & Dunklee. \n\nCopley Square, with its superb churches, museums, library and col- \nleges, is regarded by the Bostonians with a Florentine or Athenian civic \npride, and bears the name of our greatest oldtime artist. The foremost \narchitects have prepared competitive plans for its appropriate adornment, \nwhich will probably be in the form of a dainty sunken garden, with \nshrubbery, fountains and statuary. This work will have cost $75,000. \n\nTrinity Church, on Copley Square, is the most artistic and impressive \nchurch in New England. Phillips Brooks was its rector from 1869 to \n1891. The society dates from 1728 ; and the present church from 1877. \nIt was designed by H. H. Richardson, in the Romanesque architecture \nof Southern France and Spain. The chief external features are the out- \nlying chapel ; the quaint cloisters, containing the ancient stone tracery \nfrom a window of St. Botolph's Church, in English Boston ; the rich \nGalilee porch, built in 1S94-95 ; and the vast and impressive central \ntower, suggested by one at Salamanca, and rising to a height of 211 feet, \nwith a width of 46 feet. The ivy-clad walls are of yellowish Dedham \ngranite and brown sandstone ; and the huge tower-roof is of red Akron \n\n\nre \n\nO \n\n-< \n\nr \n\nin \n\nH \n\n0 \n\n^ \n\nm \n\nH \n\nJ. \n\na \n\nO \n\nm \n\nH \n\n-) \n\nm \n\nw \n\nr \n\no \n\nc \n\noa \n\n-t \n\n3J \n\nX \nm \n> \n\nc \nz \n\nCo \n\n03 \n\n-1 \n\n3 \n\nn \n\no \n\no \n\n2- \n\n* \n\nm \n\n3] \n\nro I \n\n0 \n\n> \" \n\nH \n\nM - \n\nn \n\nz S \n\nr- \n\nm * \n\n33 \n\n05 g \n\nm \n\nP> \n\nu \n\nO \n\n7 \n\nD \n\nC \n\n-1 \n\nz \n\nx> \n\n* \n\nn \n\nr \n\nH \n\nm \n\nm \n\ntr \n\nm \n\no \n\n-a \n\n33 \n\nO \n\n7\" \n\nTl \n\no \n\n33 \n\no \n\nm \n\nTl \n\nH \n\nO \n\nO \n\nO \n\nJJ \n\n■v \nr \n\no> \n\nm \n\n< \n\nr/> \n\nD \n\nC \n\n> \n\nX \n\nm \n\nJj. \n\n\nm\\ \n\n\n'-&=* \n=&£. \n\n\n5- \n\n\n,»^iiiiJil . ji2 .' ^™™2H ,'i ■ i\" £z£Z£ml &> ,: \"****\" -rT^yy^m • \n\n\n142 King's \"How to See Boston\" \n\ntiles.

It contains what is called the most symmetrically \ndeveloped art-collection in America, inferior to New York in pictures, \nbut with the finest set of sculptural casts in the world (except that at \nBerlin), and Japanese collections absolutely unapproachable elsewhere. \nConspicuous terra-cotta reliefs on the outer walls represent the Tri- \numph of Art, and the Union of Art and Industry. A large art-school is \nattached to the Museum. There were 265,000 visitors to the Museum in \n1894. The building surrounds a broad quadrangle, and is to be doubled \nin size. The first floor is devoted to casts and antiquities, occupying 16 \nhalls. The second floor has several rooms of paintings ; the textile, \ncoin, and metal-work collections ; the tapestries and embroideries, por- \ncelains and pottery ; and the vast Japanese collections. There are 800 \ncasts of famous classic and Renaissance statuary, large Egyptian and \nCyprus collections, thousands of pieces of exquisite porcelain and glass \nware, tapestries and embroideries, wood and ivory carvings, prints and \ndrawings, coins and bronzes, weapons and armor ; and many paintings \nby the old masters (Rubens, Holbein, Diirer Greuze, Reynolds, et als. ), \nand by the best modern French and American artists (Corot, Millet, \nBastien-Lepage, Allston, Copley, Hunt, Brown, Cole). Catalogues are \nsold at the door. The Museum is open from 9 to 5 daily (25 cents ; \nfree on Saturdays, and Sunday afternoons). It was founded in 1870, and \nsubscriptions of $600,000 gave the means for the great quadrangular build- \nings, begun in 1876. The expenses are met by art-lovers' subscriptions. \nThe Grundman, Harcourt and Pierce buildings, near by, have the studios \nof many artists. A few rods from the Museum, where Dartmouth St. \ncrosses the Albany and Providence Railroads, is the South Armory, built \nin 1890, for the 1st Regiment, M. V. M., and the Naval Brigade. The \n5th Regiment and the Cavalry Battalion have their headquarters here. \nThe drill hall is of mammoth size, and the head-house, massive, battle- \nmented and towered, has a fine military effect. \n\nThe Boston Public Library, occupying the west side of Copley Square, \nhas the most costly and artistic library building in the world, and is by \nfar the largest library in the world for free circulation.

C. F. McKim, of McKim, \nMead & White, designed it, in the pure, stately and elegant style of the \nItalian Renaissance. It is of pinkish-gray Milford granite, and faces on \nthree streets, with a conspicuous roof of brown Spanish tiles, and a clois- \ntered courtyard inside containing a lawn and fountain. The building \ncovers I ]/z acres. The inscriptions, the outside granite terrace and seats, \nthe Knoxville-marble vestibule, and the colored marble mosaics of the \nentrance hall, in floor and vaulting, are all noteworthy. The grand stair- \nway, with colossal marble lions commemorating the dead of the 2d and \n22d Mass. Regiments in 1861-65, leads to Bates Hall, an immense read- \ning-room occupying all the Copley-Square front, with a barrel-vault ceiling \nand rich furnishings. Edwin A. Abbey's wonderful series of paintings of \n\"The Search for the Holy Grail \" and John S. Sargent's paintings of \n\" The Growth of Religion \" are in place here, Abbey's in the general \ndelivery room, and Sargent's in the hall of the special libraries (third \nfloor). Each artist receives $15,000, and they will require years to come \nto finish their series. The paintings are on canvas, fastened to the walls \nby white lead. LaFarge, Puvis de Chavannes (who will receive $50,000) \nand others are at work on other great mural decorations ; St. Gaudens \nis preparing two groups of three figures each, for the outer terrace ; and \nother statues are being made. Never before have architecture, sculpture \nand painting been so gloriously united in America. Here are kept many \nvaluable MSS. and ancient books, the Cardinal-Tosti collection of engrav- \nings, Copley's great painting of Charles I. and Parliament, and the price- \nless Chamberlain autographs. The library has very rich special collec- \ntions about costumes, Spanish literature, music, mathematics, patents, \narchitecture, New-England history, Shakespeareana, etc., each in a special \nhall. It contains about 680.000 volumes ; and has many well-stocked \nbranches in remote parts of the city. There are 150 employees ; and the \nexpenses approach $200,000 a year. The magnificent newspaper-room \ncontains current files of several hundred leading American, European and \nAsiatic papers, and has no rival anywhere. Parts of the library are open \nevenings and Sundays. The State gave most of the land for the site ; the \ncity paid for the building and maintenance ; and private munificence gave \nmost of the special libraries and art-treasures of this incomparable people's \nclub-house, \" The literary Common,\" as Robert C. Winthrop called it. \n\nThe Old South Church, opposite the Library, on the north side of \nCopley Square, is a superb North- Italian Gothic building, of Roxbury \nstone, erected in 1873-75, at a cost of $500,000, for a Congregational \nsociety founded in 1669. Quite noticeable outside are the gilded copper \ndome, the carved fruits and birds on the outer sandstone belts, and \nthe inscriptions and Venetian mosaics in the arcade. The tower (which \nleans slightly) is one of the most beautiful in existence, with colored \nstone marquetry and noble Gothic windows ; and is 248 feet high. Inside, \nnote the carved Caen-stone and Lisbon-marble screen, the open timber- \n\n\nOLD SOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. \n\nCOPLEY SQUARE ) BOYLSTON STREET, NORTHWEST CORNER OF DARTMOUTH STREET. \n\n\n147 \n\n\n1 48 King's ' ' How to See Boston. \" \n\nroof, and the rich stained-glass windows, the shepherds of Bethlehem \n(east), the five parables (south), and the five miracles (north).

Adjoining on the \neast is the Second Church, of brownstone, built in 1874 for a Congrega- \ntional parish founded at the North End, and Unitarian for nearly a \ncentury past, and among whose pastors were the three Mathers, Ralph \nWaldo Emerson, R. L. Collier, and E. A. Horton. \n\nThe Boston Art Club, immediately north of the Old South, at Dart- \nmouth and Newbury Sts., founded in 1854, in 1882 opened an artistic \nRomanesque house, with rich decorations, and a fine art-gallery wherein \npublic exhibitions are frequent. Just opposite rises the battlemented \nfront of the Hotel Victoria, a fashionable European-plan house, whose \ncafe is sometimes called \"the Delmonico's of Boston.\" \n\nCommonwealth Avenue, the handsomest thoroughfare in America, \nruns from the Public Garden to and across the Back-Bay Fens, and \nthence by Chestnut Hill across Brookline and Newton to Auburndale. \nIt is 240 feet wide, from house to house, the middle being occupied by a \ncontinuous mall, with lawns and trees, paths and seats. The mall con- \ntains : near Arlington St., Dr. Rimmer's granite statue of Alexander \nHamilton, given by T. Lee in 1865 ; near the First Baptist Church, \nMilmore's heroic bronze statue of Gen. Glover, of the Marblehead Con- \ntinental Regiment, given by B. T. Reed in 1875 > tne seated Garrison \nstatue ; and, at the entrance to the Fens, Anne Whitney's heroic and ideal \nbronze statue of Leif Ericsson, the Norse Viking, who is by some sup- \nposed to have sailed from Iceland and landed in Massachusetts, A. D. 1000. \nThe sturdy young sea-king wears a casque, a shirt of mail, and sandals. \nThere is a galley-prow pedestal ; and reliefs, showing LeiPs landing, \nand his narrating his discoveries to friends in a Norse banquet-hall. \n\nThe First Baptist Church, a massive and fortress-like Roxbury-stone \nedifice, at Commonwealth Avenue and Clarendon St., was built in 1873, \nby H. H. Richardson, for the Brattle-square Unitarian Society (founded \n1699 ; dissolved 1876), and in 1882 was acquired by the First Baptist \nsociety (founded in 1665). Its chief feature is the majestic bell-tower, \n176 feet high, with an upper belt of colossal sculptures designed by \nBartholdy, and representing Baptism, Communion, Marriage, and Death, \nwith the angels of the judgment at the angles blowing golden trumpets. \nThe interior has rose-windows and a basilica roof. The tower is so \nbeautiful that a number of gentlemen bought the empty church in 1881, \nwith the idea of tearing down the main building and replacing it with a \nlittle park, out of which the tower should rise alone, like an Italian cam- \npanile. Among the First Baptist pastors were Stillman, Neale (1847-77), \nWayland and Moxom. \n\n\nHfcii? \n\n\n:!.V\" \" \n\n\nlit ft \n\n\nFIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. \n\nCOMMONWEALTH AVENUE, SOUTHWEST CORNER OF BERKELEY STREET. \n\n\n149 \n\n\n150 King's \" How to See Boston.\" \n\nThe Vendome, Boston's palatial hotel, on Commonwealth Avenue and \nDartmouth St., is but two short blocks north of Copley Square with its \ngroup of famous edifices. It is a vast eight-story million-dollar marble \nbuilding, with 365 feet of street-frontage, in every way richly and comfort- \nably furnished and equipped, with a fine rotunda and dining-halls. Many \ndistinguished personages have of late years been guests here,, among them \nPresidents Harrison and Cleveland, Blaine and McKinley, Sherman and \nVanderbilt, Rockefeller and Carnegie, Booth and Barrett, Irving and \nTerry, Patti and Bernhardt. The Vendome, under the proprietorship of \nCharles H. Greenleaf & Co., has been notably successful. In front is \nWarner's heroic bronze statue of William Lloyd Garrison, the Abolitionist \nleader, erected in 1886, by the people. At 217 Commonwealth Avenue \nis the spacious and luxurious house of the Algonquin Club, organized in \n\n1885, among prominent business men and bankers. The building \n(erected in 1888) cost $300,000 ; and is in the Renaissance style, of light- \ncolored Indiana limestone, five stories high, and with 82 feet of frontage. \nThe historic Algonquin nation included the chief New-England Indians. \nNot far away, at 270 Beacon St., is the home of the University Club, \norganized in 1892, of college-bred men. This palace (built as residences \nfor the Higginson and Whittier families) has 40 rooms and halls, superbly \ndecorated and furnished ; and overlooks the broad Charles River. Near \nt>y, at 296 Beacon St., Oliver Wendell Holmes lived and died. This \nhouse is on the much-desired water-side of Beacon St., so brightly pic- \ntured in Howells's novels, and on which (at 304) the novelist once dwelt. \n\nIn the Back-Bay District the streets running parallel to the western \nborder of the Public Garden are named in a simple alphabetical order, \ne. g., Arlington, Berkeley, Clarendon, Dartmouth, Exeter, Falmouth, \nGloucester, Hereford, etc. On Exeter St., south of Commonwealth Ave- \nnue, are several notable places. At Newbury St. are four remarkable \nstructures, one on each of the four corners, the South Congregational \nChurch, the Spiritual Temple, the Normal Art School and the Prince \nSchool. The South Congregational (Unitarian) Church, with its lowly \nByzantine tower, was built in 1883-84, for the Hollis-Street society, \nwhich was founded in 1730, and ministered to by Byles the Tory, Pier- \npont the reformer, Starr King the patriot, and H. B. Carpenter the poet. \nIn 1887 this society united with the South Church (founded in 1827), of \nwhich Edward E. Hale has been pastor since 1856. There are beautiful \nmemorial windows to Pierpont and Starr King. The First Spiritual \nTemple, the finest of that order in the world, was built by a wealthy \nBoston merchant, at a cost of $250,000, in 1885. It is a curious \nRomanesque stone edifice, with delicate carvings, several halls, organ, \nlibrary, parlors, and frequent services. The Mass. Normal Art School is \na three-story brick round-arched and high-roofed building, erected in \n\n1886, for a State institution founded in 1873 to prepare drawing-teach- \ners for the public schools.

This noteworthy department of \nHarvard University, perfectly equipped, and with a wonderful museum, \nhas 100 professors and 600 students. Alongside, on Exeter St., at Blag- \nden, the Boston Athletic Association (founded in 1888; 2,000 mem- \nbers) has a very showy and spacious house, completely equipped for \nswimming, billiards, bowling, tennis, racquet, handball, fencing, boxing, \nrunning, and all gymnastic uses, and with large dining-rooms. It cost \n$300,000. \n\nHuntington Avenue, running southwest from Copley Square, opens a \nfine vista to the Roxbury hills. Here are numerous hotels and apartment \nhouses and residences, and several notable public institutions. At Hun- \ntington Avenue and Exeter St. is the elegant and highly modern Cop- \nley-Square Hotel, one of the best constructed and most comfortably \nfurnished hotels in the city. It was opened in 189 1 by F. S. Risteen \n& Co., its present proprietors, who conduct it in an admirable man- \nner. It is in close proximity to the Back-Bay edifices. Only a block \nbeyond, on Huntington Avenue, is the mammoth decorated Renaissance \nbuilding, erected in 188 1, at a cost of $500,000, for the exhibitions of the \nMass. Charitable Mechanic Association (Soo members), founded in 1795, \nto promote inventions, advance education, and help young or distressed \nmechanics. Mechanics Hall seats 8,000 persons, and is the home of grand \nopera in Boston. Garrison St. leads thence east to the Mass. College of \nPharmacy, built in 1886, with library, laboratories and cabinets ; and the \nAllen Gymnasium for ladies and children, with a variety of paraphernalia \nand baths. Farther out on the avenue is the Elysium Club (No. 218), an \naristocratic Jewish social organization, founded in 1 87 1 (house built in \n1 891). Beyond, one may see, at Westland Avenue, the picturesque but \nhighly practical and useful Boston Storage Warehouse, whose huge ele- \nvators carry up loaded wagons, with any infinite variety of household \nand other goods which are placed in these fireproof and convenient ware- \nhouses for safe keeping ; at Parker and Astor Sts., the Riding Academy, \nwith an arena of 165x100 feet ; at Gainsborough St., the Children's \nHospital, a spacious and wisely-planned building, erected in 1882, and \nfree to poor children of from 2 to 12 years ; and on Gainsborough St., the \nChurch of the Messiah, the home of an Episcopal society founded at the \nSouth End in 1843. ^ nas daily prayers, a surpliced choir, and free \nseats. \n\nThe Christian Scientist Church, dedicated in 1895, pertains to the \npioneer society of that faith, which was born in Boston in 1866. The \nchurch on Norway St. cost $200,000, and has some very curious and \ninteresting traits. \n\n\n. .;,,,.._... .■■,.,.-.., ,,-... ;-;.^.r:-^---,/,- y.:-.-,::,.--:- \n\n\nCO \n\n \nO i\" \n\n=3 fe \n\n\nUJ \n\nu \n\nI- \n\nCO \n\ntr \n\nCO \n\n\nIX \nLU \n\nz \ncc \nO \n\na \n\n< \n\nLU \n\nI \nI- \n\nc \n\no \n\n\nUl UJ \n\no 2 \n\n1 5 \n\n\nUJ \n\ncr \n< \n\na \n\nCO \n\nI \n\n> \n\nUJ \n\n_l \n\nQ. \n\nO \n\no \n\n\nS \n\n\nI \nc \n\nH \n\na \n\nH \n\no \n\n\ni \n\n\n> \n\nCD \n\nC \n\nr \ng \n\nz \n\n© \n\n\ni©\\*» «£> ^s^ \n\nt>.,|||1 fllllH -..!».«»»» \n\n\n156 King's \"How to See Boston.'''' \n\nBeacon St., with almost interminable double lines of sombre brown- \nstone residences, was built across the bay from the Common to Brook- \nline, I \\/2 miles, in 1S18-21, to serve as a mill-dam, to hold back at will \nthe tidal waters for factory- power, and also for a toll-road to the west- \nward. The streets on either side of the ancient mill-dam waterway are \nknown as Charlesgate East and Charlesgate West ; and on the former is \nthe lofty and luxurious Charlesgate, one of the finest of the grand apart- \nment-houses for which the Back Bay is famous. \n\nMassachusetts Avenue (partly old West Chester Fark) is a fine thor- \noughfare several miles long, from near the harbor, in Dorchester, across \nthe South End, to the Harvard Bridge, a very long structure (traversed \nby street-cars) across the Charles River from Beacon St. to Cambridge. \nNear the entrance to the bridge, at Beacon St. and Massachusetts Avenue, \nis the Mount- Vernon Congregational Church, dating from 1892, with \ntriple-arched portal, rose-window, square tower, and open timbered roof. \nS. E. Herrick is pastor. \n\nThe Back-Bay District was gained from the salt-water tides by filling \nin, m'ainly between 1857 and 1887, the land-sales giving the State a profit of \n$3, 500,000 above costs. The street-plan was designed by Arthur Oilman, \nthe architect. It is one of the finest residence-quarters in the world, show- \ning an edifying variety of architecture and materials, careful and delicate \ndetail work, wrought iron, tiles, stained glass and fine carvings. The grand \nresidences include the gray-brick house of John F. Andrew, the War- \nGovernor's son, at Commonwealth Avenue and Fairfield St. ; the Proctor \nhouse, at 273 Commonwealth Avenue ; and the brown-stone Renaissance \nhouse of ex-Gov. Ames, at Commonwealth and Massachusetts Avenues. \nHundreds of these beautiful homes on the spacious, sunny, airy and \nquiet street may well be observed with care. Many of these houses and \nchurches (especially Emmanuel, Trinity, the First Baptist, the Art Club, \nand \"doctors' row,\" on Boylston St.) are richly adorned with Boston \nivy (amphelopsis Veitchii), a hardy Japanese climbing plant introduced \nhere about 1870. \n\nThe Back-Bay Fens, formed at a cost of nearly $3,000,000, is a \nunique park of ioo acres, reproducing a sea-coast creek and shore, with \nsedgy banks, meadows, clumps of trees and shrubbery, fine bridges, and \nmagnificent driveways, amid the highly artificial and finished surround- \nings of a splendid metropolis. Across this quaint plaisance appear the \nspires and towers of Longwood, Brookline and Cambridge, the house- \ncrowned crest of Corey Hill, and the remote blue hills of Middlesex. \nThe Fens is the beginning of an unbroken series of parks and parkways, \nextending south several miles to the great Franklin Park, and thence to \nbe prolonged by the Strand way, etc., to the Marine Park on the seaward \npoint of South Boston. These City Parks will no doubt be connected at \nvarious points by grand boulevards with the whole Metropolitan Park \nSystem.

The A. B. C. F. M. museum is well worth seeing, \nwith its obsolete gods; and the handsome library hall, with its 30,000 \nbooks, and 180,000 pamphlets. The Congregatioualist and The Literary \nWorld are published here. The American Peace Society, founded in \n1828, from this corner rights against wars. The American Board of \nCommissioners for Foreign Missions, with its main offices here, since \n18 1 2 has sent out 800 consecrated men to all parts of the earth, and \nestablished thousands of churches and schools, and powerful native \nministries.

W. F. \nWarren is president. On the Somerset site stood Dr. Neale's First Bap- \ntist Church, whose sharp, slender and conspicuous spire won for it the \npopular name of \"The Church of the Holy Toothpick.\" Just beyond, \nin Ashburton Place, stands the old Mount-Yernon Church (now aban- \ndoned), where Dr. E. N. Kirk preached from 1842 to 1874, and D. L. \nMoody was converted. Farther down, at No. 18 Somerset St. (the Court \nHouse is on the right) stands the building of the New-England Historic \nGenealogical Society, incorporated in 1845, wnose library of 24,000 vol- \numes is open daily from nine to five to persons interested in antiquarian \nstudies. \n\nThe Boston Athenaeum, at 10 \\/2 Beacon St., is a beautiful and spacious \nPalladian building, erected, of Paterson brovvnstone, in 1847-49, for a \n\nliterary society incorporated in 1807, and now \nowning this costly place and its library of 180,000 \nbooks, and many precious paintings and sculp- \ntures. There are about 1,000 share-holders, whose \nfamilies may draw out books ; and although it is \nnot a public library, scholars and strangers are \ncourteously welcome to inspect the rooms, and \nsometimes to read and study here (except in the \nnewspaper-room). The main hall, on the second \nfloor, looking out on the trees of the Granary \nBurial-Ground, is a delightful place for read- \ning and contemplation. The library of George \nWashington is preserved in this building. \nThe librarian is Wm. C. Lane. Here, \nalso, are the rooms and library of the \nAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences, \na world-renowned society of scholars, \nfounded in 1780, with members all over \nLincoln, or emancipation statue, the country. Among them were Frank- \npark square. jj^ Bowdoin> Hancock and John Adams. \n\nOpposite, a narrow alley leads behind the lofty Bellevue (formerly Dio \nLewis's) hotel to the Freeman-Place Chapel, built half a century ago by \nJames Freeman Clarke's church, and now the unique book-store of \nCharles C. Soule. \n\nThe Unitarian Building, at 25 Beacon St., corner of Bowdoin, dates \nfrom 1886, and is a fine specimen of massive Roman-palace architecture, \nin rusticated brownstone. It is the headquarters of the chief Unitarian \nsocieties in America. Here stood Gov. Bowdoin's mansion, and Bur- \ngoyne's headquarters. Bowdoin St. leads in a few steps from Beacon St. \nto Dr. Reed's New- Jerusalem Church, built in 1845, witn a ^ne Gothic \ninterior and memorial window ; and then descends the hill to the Mission \nChurch of St. John the Evangelist, a grim granite battlemented structure, \n\n\n1 62 King's \" How to Ste Boston.'''' \n\nbuilt for Dr. Lyman Beecher's Congregationalists, and now for many- \nyears owned and occupied by the English Episcopal \"Cowley Fathers,\" \nwho go about the streets in long black robes, and do a vast amount of \ngood among the poor — and the rich. Their frequent services are High \nAnglican. Father Hall, the Bishop of Vermont, was rector here. The \nGeneral Theological Library, an unsectarian collection of 20,000 volumes, \nfounded in i860, is at 53 Mount- Vernon St., not far from the State House. \nIt is largely used by country ministers, who may take books home. \n\nThe State House occupies the terraced crest of Beacon Hill, facing \nthe Common. It was built in Sam. Adams's governorship, in 1795-98, \non John Hancock's cow-pasture (bought for $4,000), with Bulfinch as \narchitect. Crowning the highest point of Old Boston, it is a very noble \nlandmark from distant points on sea and land. The high dome was \ncovered in 1874 with sheets of pure gold-leaf (renewed since), and may \nthus be recognized, shining brightly, from leagues away in the coast and \nrural counties. Many people ascend to the top of the dome, which com- \nmands an incomparable view of the island-studded harbor and blue sea, \nthe city and suburbs, and the far-away mountains, Wachusett, Monad- \nnock, etc. Dr. Holmes has said : \"Boston State House is the Hub of \nthe solar system.\" The new State-House Extension, much larger than \nthe original building, and of finer materials, but similar architecture, \nstretches northward. It was built in 1890-95, at a cost (with land) of \n$5,000,000, with fine marble colonnades, and a central courtyard. The \nchief feature is the Representatives' Hall, in Italian Renaissance archi- \ntecture, elliptical, with mahogany finish, Corinthian columns, a domed \nceiling of glass, frescoes by Frank Hill Smith, and the famous wooden \ncodfisn, five feet long, hung up in 1784, in the place of one placed in the \nRepresentatives' Hall before 1730. The fish is emblematic of one of the \nchief sources of the wealth of Massachusetts. The State Library, of \n90,000 volumes, has a spacious reading-room, whose balcony overlooks \nthe crowded northern suburbs. This was the first State library in \nAmerica. It contains some interesting portraits. The book-shelves are \nof steel. The entrance-halls are noble in aspect ; and the stair-rails show \nsome fine work in wrought iron. Here may be seen nearly 300 flags of \nthe State troops in the War for the Union, very sacredly guarded ; Sir \nFrancis Chantrey's esteemed statue of Washington, set up in 1828 ; Ball's \nexcellent portrait-statue of John A. Andrew, the War Governor, erected \nin 1871, at a cost of $10,000; busts of Washington, Lincoln, Sumner, \nand Vice-President Wilson ; the venerable portraits of dignitaries, in the \nhandsome old-fashioned Senate Chamber ; weapons and trophies from \nLexington and Bennington ; and other interesting pictures and antiquities. \nOn the outside terrace stands Powers's statue of Webster, given by popu- \nlar subscription in i860, and Emma Stebbins's statue of Horace Mann, \nthe educator, given by the school-children in 1869. In the grounds was \nthe site of the Beacon (from 1634 to 1789), an iron cage filled with com- \nbustibles, whose firing would alarm the distant towns, and call out their \n\n\n164 \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.\" \n\n\ntrain-bands. It stood just east of the middle of the Extension, on the old \nline of Temple St., where Sentry Hill rose then 80 feet above the present \nlevel. The same Beacon- Hill ridge had two other sharp peaks, Cotton \nHill, 80 feet over Pemberton Square, and Mount Vernon, where Louis- \nburg Square is. This three-spired ridge was the ancient Trimontaine, or \nTramount. \n\nOn Beacon St., just west of the State House, a tablet on the fence before \ntwo pretentious brownstone dwellings marks the site of the gardens and \nthe splendid and hospitable home of John Han- \ncock, built in 1737 and torn down in 1863, in the \nface of a storm of popular dissent. \n\nThe Diocesan House, at Beacon and Joy Sts., the \nheadquarters of Mass. Episcopalianism, was dedi- \ncated in 1892, and has the offices of several im- \nportant societies and the archives of the diocese. \n\nAt Beacon and Walnut Sts., Wendell Phillips \nwas born, in the then out-of-town house of his \nfather, Boston's first mayor, afterwards occupied by \nLieut-Gov. T. L. Winthrop, father of R. C. Win- \nthrop. Motley lived on Walnut St. \n\nThe Somerset Club, the most aristocratic and \nexclusive in Boston, has since 1872 occupied the \nivy-clad, double swell-front, \n\n\nwhite stone house at 42 Bea \ncon St., built by David Sears \nfor his home. It is on the \nsite of the far- viewing house \nof J. S. Copley, the famous \nportrait-painter, who owned \nII acres hereabouts, and sold \nthe property for $18,550. \nCopley, though a patriot, \nmoved to England in 1774 \nand died in 18 13; and his \nson (born here) became Lord \nLyndhurst, one of the noblest \nchancellors of Great Britain. \nHarrison Gray Otis lived in \nthe double house next west of \nthe Sears house ; and Judge Cushing next east. The Puritan Club, founded \nin 1884, in 1889 occupied the old Amory mansion at Beacon and Spruce \nSts.; and is made up of young professional men. At 55 Beacon St., \nnot far from Charles St. , a double swell-front, with balconies on pillars, \nWilliam H. Prescott the historian dwelt in 1845-59, and wrote The Con- \nguest of Peru and Philip II, while nearly blind. It was here that he \ndied. \n\n\nCENTRAL CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, \nNEWBURY STREETS. \n\n\nBERKELEY AND \n\n\nKing's ' ' How to See Boston. \n\n\nI65 \n\n\nThe six blocks of Beacon St. west of the State House face on the grand \nBeacon- St. Mall of Boston Common, planted from funds left over after \nfortifying the harbor in 181 2. \n\nCharles St. (with cars), running north from the foot of Beacon St. to \nthe West End, was reclaimed from the water. Here stands James T. \nFields's house (No. 148), inhabited by his widow, with whom Sarah \nOrne Jewett often dwells ; and Aldrich long abode near by. \n\nChestnut St., crossing Charles St., is a venerable way, leading up the \nhill, by the R. H. Dana (No. 43), Parkman (No. 50), Bartol (No. 17), \nEdwin Booth, and Bishop- \nPaddock houses ; and also \nalong the riverward levels to \nthe left (because of its many \nstables, there called Horse- \nChestnut St.) to the com- \nmodious Swiss house and \nfloats of the Union Boat \nClub, founded in 185 1, and \nincluding 150 amateur oars- \nmen. The swell colored peo- \nple's church of Boston be- \ngan in 1836, and in 1877 \nbought from the white Bap- \ntists the venerable Charles- \nStreet Church, which it now \noccupies, with 400 Methodist \ncommunicants.

Latterly \nthe Italians, Portuguese and Russians have driven out the Irish ; and the \nbad houses and people along the waterside have been reduced by the \npolice, missionaries and electric lights. Among these prolific Latin and \nSlav populations remain several Colonial and Provincial landmarks, in- \nteresting to all Americans. \n\nHanover St. (once Orange-Tree Lane), running from Scollay Square, \nand traversed by many street-cars (to Chelsea Ferry, etc.), is a long and \nmuch-winding way, often widened by the city, at enormous cost.

Later, it became a line of sailors' dives, the peril- \nous Whitechapel of Boston. Now, for a long way it has large commer- \ncial houses, and the rest of it is only squalid, not dangerous. \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.'''' \n\n\n189 \n\n\nNorth Square had the Mountfort, Shaw, Holyoke, Mather and other \naristocratic mansions ; Revere's birthplace, still standing, at Nos. 19- \n21 ; Pitcairn's barracks; the beautiful estates of Gov.

Close by is St. \n\nJohn's parochial school, \nwhere 700 girls are taught \nby the Sisters of Notre \nDame. Before its partial \nredemption from rum and \nsirens, this region, from \nNorth to Salem Sts., and \nfrom Richmond to Fleet, was \ngrimly called the Black Sea. \nSir David Ochterlony was \nborn on North St. ; \" Essex \" \nDavid Porter, on Charter \nSt. ; Mather Byles, on Tiles- \nton St. ; and Charlotte Cush- \nman, on Richmond St. \n\nSt. Stephen's Catholic \nChurch, at Hanover and \nClark Sts., was built in 1805, \nfor a Congregational society \n(the New North) founded in \n1 7 14.

This avenue was made in 1868-70, at a cost of .$2,400,000, \nby building it across the middle of the old docks, with earth taken from \nFort Hill, and then filling in the inside parts, which are now covered \nwith imposing commercial structures. It occupies nearly the line of the \nBarricado, a wharf built in 1673, 2,200 feet long, from the North Battery \nto the South Battery, to be mounted with cannon to prevent hostile French \n\nor Dutch war-vessels \nfrom \nping in \nEntrances \npeaceful \non each \nWharf. \n\nLewis Wharf, at 32 \nAtlantic Avenue, with its \nlong granite warehouses, \nhas the steamships for \nYarmouth and Halifax, \nthe Canso ports, Pictou \nand Prince-Edward Is- \nland, and Savannah. \nThis wharf once be- \nlonged to John Hancock. \nCommercial Wharf is \nthe Boston terminal of \nthe popular International \nSteamship Co.'s line, \nwhich runs to St. John, \nN. B., via Portland, \nLubec and Eastport, \nmaking a charming \nocean-route to the New \nEngland coast and the Maritime Provinces. The fleet comprises three \nside-wheel steamships, the State of Maine, the Cumberland, and the New \nBrunswick, providing the modern comforts of traveling. The elegant \nnew steamship St. Croix, now under construction, will in many respects \nsurpass all previous efforts of the company. In the spring and autumn \nthis long-established and favorite line runs its steamers tri-weekly, in the \nsummer daily (except Sundays), and in the winter semi-weekly. The \ntrip, for the most part is along the shore, which presents an ever-chang- \ning panorama of interesting points. The International Co. affords a \npleasant trip to the eastward, reaching numerous pleasure-resorts of \n\n\nWEST CHURCH, CAMBRIDGE AND LYNDE STREETS. \n\n\n\\ \n\n\nI- \noe \n\no \na \n\nt- \n\neo \nO M \n\n0 a \n\nS: < \n\n1 o \nJg S \n\nPa \n\n05 < \n\n\nO \na. \n\n< \n\n> \n\n\n< \n\nH \nO \n\n< \n\n5* \nZ| \n\n7 S \n■ \n\no * \n\n\nu \n\n< \n\nI- \n\nCO \n\n\nUJ \n\nI- \n\n\no \n\nz \n\n\n< \n\n\nQO \nOS \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.\" 199 \n\nMaine, and farther still, beyond the international boundary, where lies \na vast country under British dominion, full of beauty and crowned with a \nwealth of interest, replete with the blended romance, story and tradition \nconnected with the earliest settlement of the North-American continent. \nThis country gave refuge to the early voyagers from Europe, at a time \nwhen the Pilgrim Fathers of the Old Colony were in leading-strings, and \nnow through two centuries presents its peculiar manners, customs and \ncivilization as an auxiliary charm to the summer tourist from \"The \nStates,\" giving him a taste of Europe to be found on this side of the \nAtlantic only in this quaint North-East, this country under the shadow \nof the Crown, this \"Land of Evangeline\" and the \"British Red-coat.\" \nCommercial Wharf is also the terminal of the Provincetown line. \n\nThis part of Atlantic Avenue is largely occupied by wholesale fish \nand oyster merchants, and the fishing-vessels float in the adjacent docks. \nAn infinite variety of sea-food may be observed here, and the air is salty \nand fishy. Huge coils of chain and rope appear by the way ; all manner \nof large and small boats toss about in the slips ; and maritime persons \nand longshoremen placidly observe the lively scene. On the other side is \nthe animated Farmers' Market, mainly used by vegetable and fruit \nfarmers and their wagons, from the suburbs, and a very busy scene at \nearly morning. \n\nT Wharf was a part of the old Barricado, and has a well of excellent \nwater. It belongs to an association of fish-dealers, and is devoted wholly \nto the fish industry. Boston is the largest fish market in the world. In \n1892 more than 90,000,000 pounds of fresh fish were handled by dealers \nof T Wharf. In 1889 it is estimated that 208,000,000 pounds of fish \nproducts passed through the hands of the wholesale dealers of Boston, \nand, based on value of products as sold, reached an aggregate of $1 1, 100,- \n259. The number of men engaged in and the yield of all the fisheries of \nthe world, as far as reports are obtainable, are: United States, 200,000 \nmen, value, $50,000,000; Canada, 60,000 men, $17,655,000; England \nand Wales, estimated yield $23,000,000; Scotland, $8,000,000; Ireland, \n$1,800,000; Norway, $6,000,000; Holland, $2,000,000; France, 138,- \n000 men, yield $20,000,000, a grand total of more than $128,000,000 in \nvalue, taken in one year. At 21, 22 and 22*^ T Wharf, John R. Neal \n& Co. have a fine museum of models, pictures, implements, etc., illustrat- \ning the ancient and modern methods of catching fish and preparing them \nfresh or otherwise for the markets, and many curious matters pertaining \nto fishing and packing. This firm ranks eminent among the great fish \nhouses of the country, and besides being enormous handlers of fresh and \nsalted fish they make a specialty of curing haddock which is known over \nthe world as \"John R. Neal & Co.'s Star Brand of Finnan Haddie.\" \nThe Museum is opened free to the public. \n\nLong Wharf was built in 1 709-10, as a prolongation of State St., \nunder the name of Boston Pier, 2,000 feet long, with a battery on the \nend. It became the pride of the town, where the London ships lay, and \n\n\nJOHN R.

The foreign com- \nmerce of Boston, very extensive before the Revolution, and almost monop- \nolizing the American China and India trades for the first half of this century, \nbecame nearly extinct between 1850 and 1870. Then the railways from \nthe West reduced their freight rates and improved their terminal facilities, \nand the local commerce made enormous gains, so that it uses almost a \nsteamship a day from this port to Europe. Boston is second only to New \n\nYork as a shipping \nport, with 4,000 \nvessels entering \nfrom or clearing for \nforeign ports yearly, \nand an annual im- \nport and export \ntrade of $ 1 40, 000, - \n000.

The chief foreign steamships have \ntheir docks at East and South Boston and Charlestown. \n\nLong Wharf is the headquarters of the tropical fruit trade, and here \nthe Boston Fruit Company, an association of Boston merchants and West- \nIndia fruit-growers, receive their cargoes of bananas, cocoanuts, oranges, \nlemons, and kindred fruits. The corporation owns nearly 40,000 acres, \nincluded in 35 plantations, and deep-water frontage in the harbors of Port \nAntonio and Port Morant. They own their own lines of steamships, \nwhich they operate between those ports and Boston, Philadelphia and \nBaltimore. Besides carrying their own fruits, they carry some outside \nfreight, and afford passenger accommodations for many tourists visiting \nthe West-India Islands. \n\nAscending State St. from Long Wharf, one quickly reaches the Cus- \ntom House, the financial district, the Old State House, and the retail \ndistrict. Dr. Holmes thus apostrophized Long Wharf : \n\n\" Strong right arm of Boston, stretched out o er the bay, \nMay the winds waft the wealth of all nations to thee, \nAnd thy dividends flow like the waves of the sea.\" \n\nCentral Wharf has the moorings of the steamships to Philadelphia \nand to Gloucester. \n\nFrom India Wharf runs the daily line of new and palatial steamers \nowned by the Portland Steam Packet Co., the Bay State and the Portland \n(each exceeding 2,200 tons), two of the grandest steamers that sail from \nBoston Harbor. They make the run between Boston and Portland in a \nnight, and charge but $1, the view from the steamers, in either Boston \nor Portland harbor, morning or evening, being worth the full cost of the \ntrip. It is impossible to obtain a more restful, exhilarating and enjoyable \nexcursion anywhere. These steamers are the largest and finest side-wheel \nvessels east of Long-Island Sound, and are fitted with every modern ap- \npliance for comfort and luxury. Electric lights and bells, steam steering- \ngear, and first-class appointments are in every department. The pas- \nsenger dining-rooms are superb, and the meals, on the European plan, \nare all that can be desired. The company issues through excursion- \ntickets, by almost every conceivable rail and steamship route, east, west, \nnorth and south. The Portland Steam Packet Co. has a record of 50 \nyears' thoroughly satisfactory service, never having lost a life nor injured \na person. From India Wharf also sail the freight vessels of the Metro- \npolitan Line, for New York. Howells says of this locality : \n\n\" The place was sacred to the shipping of the grandest commerce in the world \n—these beautiful ships, clean as silver, and manned by honest Yankee crews.\" \n\nHere the old captains discussed \n\n\" The Dutch colonies and coffee : the China trade and tea ; the Northwest coast \nand furs ; the Cape and its wines and oil ; the pirates that used to harass the \nearly adventurers ; famous shipwrecks ; great gains and magnificent losses ; the \nsplendor r>f the English nabobs and American residents of Calcutta ; mutinies \naboard ship ; and the idiosyncrasies of certain sailors.1' \n\n\nwr \n\n\nO Q- \nI * o \n\n2 g \n\n\n*>•:; \n\n\n!, J! \n\n\n' :: \n\n\nKing's ' ' How to See Boston. \" \n\n\n205 \n\n\nRowe's Wharf is throughout the summer one of the busiest and hap- \npiest of places, for thence every half-hour or so depart the pleasant \nsteamboats for Hull, Hingham, and Nantasket, the favorite summer- \nresorts of the harbor. Elsewhere are the piers of the Lynn, Nahant, \nand Plymouth steamers. At Rowe's Wharf is the end of Broad St., the \nscene of the bloody riots of 1837 between the firemen and the Irish, in \nwhich 15,000 persons were engaged. The Irish quarter was sacked by \nthe populace; and it required the advance of 800 State troops, and re- \npeated charges by the Lancers, to avert a general massacre. \n\nNext to Rowe's Wharf is the ferry-house of the Revere -Beach \nnarrow-gauge railroad, whose quaint little trains run from East Boston \n\n\nCHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES, WARREN AVENUE AND WEST BROOKLINE STREET. \n\nalong the shore to Lynn, Ocean Spray, and Winthrop. Near Rowe's \nWharf stood the Sconce, or South Battery, erected in 1666, and \nmounting 35 guns. On Fort Hill, above, stood a larger fortress. \nHowells thus portrays the pleasant inner harbor : \n\n\"The steamships of many coastwise freight lines gloom, with their black capa- \ncious hulks, among the lighter sailing craft, and among the white, green-shuttered \npassenger-boats; and behind those desperate and grimy sheds assume a picturesque- \nness, their sagging roofs and crooked gables harmonizing agreeably with the \nshipping ; and then growing up from all rises the mellow-tinted, brick-built city, \nroof, and spire, and dome, — a fair and noble sight, indeed, and one not surpassed \nfor a certain quiet and cleanly beauty by any that I know.\" \n\nThe Boston & Bangor Steamship Co. dispatches its fine and seaworthy \nvessels from Foster's Wharf, at 366 Atlantic Avenue, at five o'clock every \nafternoon in summer, and semi-weekly in winter. These great steamships, \nthe City of Bangor, Penobscot, Katahdin, and Lewiston, have accommoda- \ntions for 500 passengers, with richly-provided dining-rooms and spacious \n\n\n2o6 \n\n\nKing's \" How to See Boston.\" \n\n\nstate-rooms. Their voyage gives very interesting panoramic views of the \nharbor, the receding city crowned with its dome of gold, the European \nsteamships in their docks at East Boston and South Boston, the formid- \nable fortifications frowning over the lower roadstead, and the many pic- \nturesque rocky islets which keep the stormy waves from the Puritan har- \nbor. Beyond the tall white lighthouse, they run up along the famous \nNorth Shore, with distant views of Nahant and Swampscot, Marble- \nhead and Magnolia, and other popular and fashionable summer-resorts. \nBefore dark, they round the tall twin lighthouses of Thacher's Island, \nand the gray cliffs of Cape Ann, \" the land of rocks and roses ; \" and \nstretch away into the dim northern sea, the ancient Gulf of Maine. At \n\n\nTREMONT STREET, SOUTHEAST CORNER OF ELIOT STREET. \n\nearly morning, the vessel enters the beautiful and historic Penobscot Bay, \nand makes its first port at Rockland, famous for its vast product of lime. \nThe Mount Desert and other steamers of this company's fleet connect \nhere for the quaint little ports among the islands, and for the landings \nabout Mount Desert and the remoter eastern coasts. The boat from \nBoston proceeds up Penobscot Bay and River, making landings at Bel- \nfast, Bucksport and other well-known towns, and before noon reaches \nBangor, the bright metropolis of Eastern Maine. This line has an im- \nmense summer-tourist business, since it furnishes an inexpensive, comfort- \nable and picturesque route to the beaches, headlands and fiords of \" hun- \n\n\n208 \n\n\nKing's '■'■How to See Boston.\" \n\n\ndred-harbored Maine,\" and to Moosehead Lake and the great forest. The \nBoston-Bangor steamships began their voyages in 1833, and were for over \n40 years known as the Sanford Line, until acquired by the present com- \npany, in 1882. The president and general manager is William H. Hill, \nof Richardson, Hill & Co., the bankers. Snow's Arch Wharf has the \nsteamers for Beverly, Marblehead, and Salem, and for Portsmouth. \n\nLiverpool Wharf (formerly Griffin's) was the scene of the Tea Party \nof December 16, 1773, when 60 Bostonians, some of them disguised as \nIndians, boarded the three Indiamen, Dartmouth, Eleanor and Beaver, \nlying here, and emptied 342 chests of tea into the harbor. Dr. Holmes \n\navers that t4 ~, . .. , , , \n\nThe waters in the rebel bay \n\nHave kept the tea-leaf savor ; \n\nOur old North-Enders in their spray \n\nStill taste a Hyson flavor.\" \n\nBetween Atlantic Avenue and the Congress-St. bridge, at 299 to 303 \nCongress St., directly facing the harbor, is the great shoe warehouse of \nthe J. B. Lewis Co., whose main factories are at Avon, and whose line of \ngoods, known as \" Wear-Resisters,\" comprises the whole range of boots \nand shoes of all grades for men, women and children. The business \nwas established in 1858, and its customers extend throughout the Union. \nThe J. B. Lewis Co. are said to be the largest shippers of boots and \nshoes of any manufacturer selling the retail trade direct from Boston, \nthe centre of the shoe trade of this country. \n\nA little farther south Atlantic Avenue \nreaches Fort- Point Channel to the South \nBay, which has many coal and lumber \nwharves. Across the narrow water are \nthe New-York & New-England Rail- \nroad docks and elevators, on land re- \nclaimed from the harbor, and with piers \nused by European freight-steamships. \nAtlantic Avenue ends in the wool dis- \ntrict (Boston is second only to London \nas a wool-market), at the foot of Sum- \nmer St., leading back to the Retail Dis- \ntrict, and in front of the ugly station of \nthe New- York & New England Railroad. \nA few blocks south, on Federal St., are \nthe great factories of the Goodyear \nShoe Machinery Co., whose patented \nmachines are used in both continents. \nKneeland St. has the Old-Colony and \nAlbany railroad stations, a block apart. \nThe Old-Colony (chartered in 1844) \nleads to Plymouth, New Bedford, Cape \ncolumbus statue, at the cathedral. Cod, and the steamboat lines to Nan- \n\n\n2IO \n\n\nKing's \" Hoza to See Boston.'1'' \n\n\ntucket and Martha's Vineyard. The Boston & Albany leads to Worcester, \nSpringfield, Albany and the north, and with its close alliances with the \nNew- York Central, the Lake- Shore and other great roads, it forms the \nmost important route between the East and West. Its through New- York \ntrains, several times daily, are unsurpassed ; and its local suburban service \nat low commutation rates to the Newtons, Brookline, Wellesley and \nother places is hardly equaled on either continent. \n\n\nCATHEDRAL OF THE HOLY CROSS, ROMAN CATHOLIC. \nWASHINGTON STREET, NORTHEAST CORNER OF MALDEN STREET. \n\n\n,./»V st»s-ss> . \n\n; \n\n\n*^ ' .0/^mM, \n\n\n11 \n\n4.LM: \n\n\n&®**-w&&& \n\n\n>::4 \n\n\n',* \n\n\nW \n\n\n% \n\n\n'■* ; \n\n\nTHE SUBURBS. \n\nTHE suburbs of Boston are among the most beautiful in the world. \nNature has done much for them, with her great rocky hills, deep \nforests, shining lakes, far-winding rivers, fragrant salt-marshes, and blue \ninlets of the sea. Art has also been kind, during nearly three centuries, \ndotting this rugged paradise with quaint villages, generous country-seats, \ntall spires, domes, and towers, and beauty-spots of rich flower-coloring. \nHistory has dowered the region with the records of the heroic early set- \ntlements, of wars with savages and European troops, and of the lives and \ndeeds of many illustrious men.

What \nother city has such a garland of pleasant and historic hamlets and parks, \ndreaming in comfort and content, in a land of peace ? \n\nSir Charles Dilke has written of the surroundings of Boston : \n\"In her southern suburbs.— in Roxbury and the hills beyond, and princely \nBrookline, and Brighton,— Boston may challenge comparison with almost any city in \n\n\n213 \n\n\n214 \n\n\nKing's ' ' How to See Boston. \" \n\n\nthe world. This undulating region, dotted with crystal ponds, superbly wooded, \nand covered for miles with country-seats in every conceivable style of architec- \nture, is a portfolio crammed with delicious pictures. The velvet turf, golden \ngreen in sunshine, the trim buckthorn hedges, the trellised roses, the comming- \nling of pine, elm, maple, larch, chestnut and fir in the groves, the unexpected dells \nand water-glimpses, the gleam of towers and mellow-tinted house-fronts, far and \nnear, the old avenues, ribbed with Gothic boughs, are among their features, and \nyou can scarcely say that anything is wanting. Although her people are every- \nwhere in the vanguard of all progress, their country has a look of gable-ends and \nsteeple-hats. In all England, there is no city which has suburbs so gray and ven- \nerable as the elm-shaded towns around Boston.\" \n\nBayard Taylor, with his broad knowledge of the world, said : \n\" As you approach Boston, the roughest region is yet a region of homes. Man \nmay sometimes deform, but he oftenest improves nature ; and I know no better \nillustration of the fact than the environs of Boston. The approach to Boston is \nalmost the only picturesque city-view we have on the Atlantic coast. The broad \nreaches of water, the cheerful suburbs, on either hand, the long gently rising brick \nhill in front, crowned with the dome of the State House, form an imposing and \ntruly attractive picture. . . .

Beyond the crowded manufacturing streets, \nthe car crosses Charles River on a long bridge, with the Hoosac-Tunnel \nDocks on the right front, and the Navy Yard beyond. We soon reach \nthe little park of City Square, with the Waverley House (once a hotel) \non the left ; and next it the fine City Hall of Charlestown before annexa- \ntion, now occupied by a branch of the Public Library, and the Municipal \nCourt. The Indian domain called Mishawum was settled by the English \nbefore 1629 ; became a city in 1847; an(^ was annexed to Boston in 1873. \nThe Charles-River Bridge was built in 1786 ; and the Warren Bridge, in \n1828. These railroad bridges for the northern railroads are now approach- \ning completion. S. F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, was born \nat Charlestown. \n\nThe U. -S. Navy Yard, founded in 1800, covers 87 acres, and has \nnearly 100 store-houses, machine-shops, arsenals, barracks, rope-walks, \nshiphouses, etc., with a million-dollar \nhammered-granite dry dock, a sea- \nwall, a battery, trees and lawns, \nparades and avenues. In the stream \nlies the famous old frigate Wabash, \nnow a receiving-ship. Among the \nwar-vessels built here were the Inde- \npendence, 74, Frolic, Vermont, 74, War- \nren, Farragut's flag- ship Hartford, the \nCumberland and Merrimac (afterwards \nantagonists), the Wachusett and Huron, \nand the ironclads Monadnock, Ara/iant, \nNantucket and Canonicns. This fa- \nmous yard is now but little used. \nVisitors are admitted, and will find it \nvery interesting. \n\nBunker- Hill Monument was built \nin 1825-42. Lafayette attended at \nthe laying of the corner-stone, and \nPresident Tyler at the final dedication ; \nand Webster gave the orations for both \noccasions. The obelisk 220 feet high, and 30 feet square at the base, is \nof Quincy granite. Two hundred and ninety-five stone steps lead to the \nobservatory chamber at the top, with its venerable Provincial cannon, and \nsuperb views over the harbor and sea, the city and suburbs, the inland \nvillages and far blue mountains, Wachusett and Monadnock.

Warren, \nwith other memorials ; and in the main path in 1881 was raised Story's \nadmirable and spirited bronze statue of Col. Prescott, who defended the \nredoubt. He is in a long seersucker coat and broad farmer's hat, with \ndrawn sword, as when warning his eager men : \"Don't fire until you see \nthe whites of their eyes.\" Col. Prescott marched from Cambridge on \nthe night of June 16, 1775, and fortified this hill-top, which was attacked \nat dawn by the broadsides of the British fleet, and later by 4,000 Royal \n\ntroops under Howe and Clinton. The \nAmerican force, though smaller, and \ninexpert in war, repulsed two grand \nassaults, and then were driven from the \nworks, having lost 450 men to the Brit- \nish 1,054. This was the first open bat- \ntle of the Revolution. The anniversary \nis a holiday in Charlestown, which was \nburned during the battle by hot shot \nfrom the British battery on Copp's Hill, \nand by landing-parties of marines and \nblue-jackets. \n\nThe Charlestown Soldiers' and Sail- \nors' Monument, dedicated in 1872, \nstands on Winthrop Square, the old \nTraining-Field, near \"the stone spike \nthat's druv through Bunker Hill.\" It \nrepresents the Genius of America, hold- \ning laurels over a soldier and a sailor. \nThe true Bunker Hill, much higher \nthan the battle-ground, is crowned by \na conspicuous Catholic church. Not \nfar away extends one of the new parks, \nwith a grand view over the Mystic Valley. \n\nThe Charlestown Burial-Ground, reached by the short Phipps St. from \nMain St., contains the grave of John Harvard, near which the graduates \nof the University erected a granite memorial, in 1828. The Massachu- \nsetts State Prison, built in 1804-05, covers a broad area near Charles \nRiver with its gloomy granite structures, crowded with desperate and \nunfortunate men. \n\nThere are many factories in Charlestown, and among them the famous \nmustard and spice mills of the Stickney & Poor Spice Co., the oldest \nconcern in its line in New England, and with a trade well established \nthroughout the country. \n\n\nMATHER TOMB, COPP'S HILL BURYING \nGROUND. \n\n\n;M\"\"\"^& \n\n\nm \n\n\n«t \n\n\n; \n\n\nEAST BOSTON. \n\n\nSTREET-CARS run every five minutes from Scollay Square down \nHanover St., and across the ferries to East Boston. These steam- \nferries are owned and run by the city, and carry yearly 11,000,000 passen- \ngers and 1,000,000 vehicles. Some of the street-cars traverse the island \non Meridian St. to Chelsea. Noddle's Island (of 663 acres) had but one \nresident family in 1833, and its only use was for farming, pasturage and \npicnics. Then the East-Boston Company laid out streets and sold lots, \nand began an active development. It now has 40,000 inhabitants, with \nlarge shipyards, sugar-houses, grain-elevators, dry-docks, iron-works, and \nother manufactures. Here Donald McKay built the Great Republic, the \nSovereign of the Seas, and other famous ocean-racers. The Atlantic \nWorks, at 70 Border St., build or repair iron ships, and construct steam- \nship engines, boilers and shafting. \nOn the harbor-front are the Cunard \nand Grand-Junction wharves, where \nmay be seen some of the huge Liver- \npool or London steamships. Here the \nchief railways from the West have their \ntide-water terminals and elevators, \nwith wonderfully ingenious systems \nof quickly loading and discharging \ncargoes. On this side of the harbor \nare the docks which receive gigantic \nsteel freight-steamships like the War- \nren-liner Scotsman and the Cunarder \nSylvania, each carrying from 7,000 to \n9,000 tons of freight. Here also will \ncome the three mammoth Leyland \nsteamships now being built, each 520 \nfeet long, and of 16,000 tons capacity. \nMaverick Square, the business- \ncentre, is overlooked by the spacious \nMaverick House, much frequented by \nsteamship officers. Central Square, \nfarther north, on Meridian St., is \nlarger ; and from the high ground near the quaint Belmont Square, along \nWebster Street, interesting views of the harbor are gained. On this \nsquare Samuel Maverick, an Episcopal gentleman, had a castle mounting \nfour cannon, called \" murtherers,\" before Winthrop came ; and forts arose \non the same site in 1776 and 1814. The old Jewish burial-ground, with its \nHebrew inscriptions and sea-views, is at Byron and Homer Sts. On the \nremote east part of the island is the city's Wood-Island Park, covering 80 \nacres, with lawns, ball-grounds, drives, bath-houses, and fine harbor-views. \n\n218 \n\n\nCOPP'S HILL BURIAL-GROUND, CHARTER \nAND HULL STREETS. \n\n\nSOUTH BOSTON. \n\n\nSTREET-CARS run from Scollay, Park, and Post-Office squares every \nfew minutes to South Boston. In 1804, when it was annexed to \nBoston, this hilly peninsula had but ten families. It was expected that \nhere would rise the court end of the city, but the growth took quite an- \nother form, and it is now a factory-quarter, with 70,000 inhabitants. In \nthis energetic industrial centre skilled artificers make war-ships, elevators, \ncordage, car-wheels, boilers, heavy cannon, and steel and brass castings, \nbesides refining sugar and oil, and brewing. The South -Boston Iron \n\nCo., founded by Cyrus Al- \nger, on Foundry St., cov- \nered seven acres, and had the \nlargest iron- works in New- \nEngland, with splendidly- \nequipped shops, famous for \ntheir product of ordnance \nand projectiles. Other \nfoundries may be seen along \nthe water-side ; and the \nsugar-refineries tower high \non Granite St. \n\nThe Whittier Machine \nCo.'s works at South Boston \nare the result of half a cen- \ntury's development. Here \nare made the passenger ele- \nvators — sometimes called \nthe perpendicular railways \n— which have made possible \nthe lofty structures of to- \nday. This was virtually the \npioneer concern to manu- \nfacture passenger elevators, \nand many of the largest \nbuildings throughout this \ncountry, and by far the ma- \njority of important buildings \nin Boston, are provided with \nthe Whittier elevators, which are recognized as having every possible \nadvantage of safety, speed, elegance and durability. \n\nThe Walworth Manufacturing Company, whose offices are at 14 to 24 \nOliver St., and whose works are at South Boston, are manufacturers of \nsteam, water and gas users' supplies, tools, etc., and such specialties as \nStillson wrenches, Allston wrenches, Stanwood pipe cutters, Walworth \n\n219 \n\n\nCHRIST CHURCH, SALEM AND HULL STREETS. \n\n\nCO \n\n \n\nHI \n\n\n3 \n\n\n< \n\nI \n\nu \n\nUl \n\nu \n\no \n\n\nh \n\nX \n\ng \n\nUJ \n\nu. \n\nQ \nZ \n< \n\ncr \nu \no \n\nz \n\nUJ \nCO \nCO «> \n\n< r, \n\nQ. m \n\n\nZ \n< \nQ. \n\no \no \n\nUJ \n\nz \n\nX \n\no \n< \n\n\no \n\nh \n\no \n\nCD \n\nI \nI- \nD \n\no \n\nCO \n\n\nUJ \n\nH \nI \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.\" \n\n\n221 \n\n\ndie-plates, Hall tapping machines and cast iron pipe cutters, Ashley \nnipple holders and Walworth sprinkler heads.

Their plant \ncovers many acres, with iron and brass foundries, machine and forge \nshops, and wharves on tide water, employing 600 men, besides 150 in \nthe warehouse. \n\nHere are huge warehouses ; and the New- York & New-England docks \nand elevators, with great European steamships. The approach to South \nBoston is squalid ; but Broadway, its spacious tree-lined main thorough- \nfare, soon ascends to a pleasanter region of churches and homes. \n\nThe Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind, or- \nganized in 1832, by Dr. S. G. Howe, in 1839 occupied the Mount- Wash- \nington House, a conspicuous sea-viewing summer-hotel, which had \n\n\nBOSTON HARBOR, NEAR ROWE'S AND FOSTER'S WHARVES. \n\nrecently failed ; and there, and in later buildings, it remains. When Dr. \nHowe died, in 1876, the management passed to his son-in-law, Michael \nAnagnos. Even the deaf, dumb and blind, like Laura Bridgman and \nHelen Kellar, have been educated into intelligence here, and hun- \ndreds of blind youth have been taught self-support, especially by music. \nThere are 30 teachers. Several States support their blind here ; and \nMassachusetts makes a large yearly grant. The library and printery of \nbooks in raised letters are the largest in the world. Visitors are admit- \nted Thursdays between 1 1 and I. \n\nIndependence Square is an open park of 6^ acres, between the fine \nresidence part of Broadway and the harbor. On its low north side are \nthe city House of Correction ; and the Boston Lunatic Hospital, built in \n1839-46, for 200 patients, with five acres of grounds. \n\nClose to the Perkins Institution is Thomas Park, on Telegraph Hill \n(whence marine telegraphing used to be done), with a granite monument \n\n\n*j ; i % •* * \n\n\nI % # , I ; \n\n\nWALWORTH \n\nMANUFACTURING CO \nimc£5 it «>**««!«'- \n\n\nWALWORTH MANUFACTURING CO., STEAM, WATER, AND GAS SUPPLIES, ETC. \n\n222 WORKS : SOUTH BOSTON.

This eminence commands a superb view of the harbor, the Blue \nHills, and the city. \n\nThe Carney Hospital, on Old Harbor St., is a noble institution, \nfounded in 1865, and run by the Sisters of Charity, but unsectarian as to \nits contributors and beneficiaries. The buildings are high-placed, and \ncommand noble views. \n\nCity Point is the chief rendezvous in America for small yachts, and \naffords a brisk and inspiring sight on a breezy summer day. The Boston \n\n\nTHE OLD FITCHBURG RAILROAD STATION, CAUSEWAY STREET. \n\nand South-Boston Yacht Clubs have their houses here ; and near by are \nthe yards where come the celebrated Burgess and other fast yachts. \nSmall restaurants abound hereabouts. \n\nThe Marine Park occupies the seaward end, with walks and esplan- \nades and lovely harbor-views. Here Kitson's fine bronze statue of Ad- \nmiral Farragut was set up, in 1893. A long promenade-pier leads to \nCastle Island, where there are walks and drives around the walls of Fort \nIndependence, with very noble sea-views. This is the oldest virgin \nfortress in the world, having never surrendered to a hostile attack. The \nfirst battery was erected here by the Puritans, in 1634, and many a shot \n\n\n224 \n\n\nKing's \" How to See Boston.'''' \n\n\nwas fired thence at ships, as well as at Washington's Dorchester-Heights \nforts in 1776. Scores of distinguished officers have been in garrison here. \nThe present very handsome fort is about half a century old, and has been \nungarrisoned since 1880, serving as a depot of supplies, and being kept \nheavily armed. \n\nOne may return to Boston by the Broadway Bridge or Dover- Street \nBridge, and regain Scollay Square by the city routes. \n\n\nDORCHESTER. \n\nDORCHESTER is reached by street-cars from the Old South, across \nSouth Boston ; or from Scollay Square or the Granary Burial-Ground, \nacross Roxbury. The Old-Colony and New- York & New-England Rail- \nroads have a score of stations in this suburb. \n\nIt was settled before Boston, but, being poorly endowed with navigable \nwaters, remained a quiet farming-town, which within a few years was \npassed by Boston. It once reached \nto the Rhode-Island line, but sev- \neral towns were carved out of it, \nand the metropolis secured the \nnorthward parts in 1S04. In 1S69 \nthe old town was annexed to Bos- \nton. It then had 12,000 inhabit- \nants, the present number being \n35,000. The picturesque hills, \nplains, forests and sea-meadows, \nthe broad and tree-shaded old \nroads, the many fine estates, the \ninteresting and venerable colonial \nmansions, the cheapness of land, \nand the easy accessibility to the \ncity have made this a favorite resi- \ndence-quarter, with countless mod- \nern cottages scattered over its \n6,000 acres. \n\nThe pleasantest and most com- \nprehensive route traverses the at- \ntractive Warren St., Roxbury, and \nenters Dorchester at Grove Hall, \nnear Franklin Park. Thence the \nline runs for half a league through \npleasant semi-rural scenery, pass- \ning the gardens of the late M. P. \nWilder, the famous horticulturist, \nand closely approaching Mount Bowdoin, whose summit commands a \n\n\nUNION STATION, ENTRANCE ARCH, CAUSEWAY \nSTREET. \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.'1'' 225 \n\nfine sea-view. Farther on, the noble Blue Hills appear on the right, \nand the ocean on the left. \n\nThe Pierce house is said to be the second oldest house standing in the \nUnited States, having been erected in 1635, and continuing in the pos- \nsession of the Pierce family ever since. Its sides are packed with sea- \nweed, partly as a protection against Indian arrows. \n\nThe Second Church, a dignified Puritan temple, dates from 1806. It \nis Congregational ; and Arthur Little holds the pastorate once graced by \nJohn Codman. Just beyond is the very fine Henry L. Pierce Public \nSchool, of Perth-Amboy salmon brick, built in 1891-92, and accommo- \ndating 700 pupils. On this site until lately stood a colonial mansion, \nwhere Henry Knox and Daniel Webster dwelt. Nearly opposite the \nchurch is the little old Dorchester Town Hall. The car-track stops at \nAshmont ; and it is twenty minutes' brisk walk thence southward to the \nquaint valley-hamlet of Lower Mills. \n\nOn the harbor-front, and best reached by the Old-Colony Railroad, is \nthe picturesque cluster of villas on Savin Hill ; the old Abolitionist vil- \nlage of Harrison Square (founded in 1840), with the house and moorings \nof the Dorchester Yacht Club ; Pope's Hill, where Lucy Stone dwelt ; \nCommercial Point, whose whaling fleets have given place to gas-works ; \nand busy Neponset, with its factories and wharves. Thence a branch rail- \nway ascends the Neponset-River valley, passing near the station at Cedar- \nGrove Cemetery. \n\nLower Mills station and village are at the picturesque little falls \non the Neponset River. This is the seat of Walter Baker & Co. 's \nimmense chocolate-mills. The first water-mill in America was founded \nhere in 1633 by Israe^ Stoughton, afterwards one of Cromwell's colo- \nnels in England. Here are several very ancient houses ; and from \nthe villa-crowned Milton Hill, on the south, noble harbor and moun- \ntain views are gained. The last station on this branch is at the de- \nlightful old rural village of Mattapan, with its quaint stone Church of \nthe Holy Spirit. \n\nMeeting-House Hill (by street-cars from Franklin St., Boston, every \n10 minutes) is crowned by the church (built in 1 81 6) of the First Parish \n(now Unitarian), the fourth on this site since 1 670. The first meeting- \nhouse, built of logs, with palisades and armed guards, was erected in \n1 63 1, at Cottage and Pleasant Sts. On the hill stands a red granite \nobelisk, bearing the names of the Dorchester soldiers who died in the War \nfor the Union. The Catholic Church of St. Peter is near by. Broad \nharbor and sea views are had from the hill. Southward, within a mile, \nis Field's Corner, with the Dorchester post-office, public library, court- \nhouse, and police-station. Northward, near Upham's Corner, is the \nburial-ground, interesting to antiquaries, with monuments as far back \nas 1638, and the graves of several colonial dignitaries ; and near Five \nCorners is the birthplace of Edward Everett. \n\n\nROXBURY. \n\nTHE street-car routes described on previous pages lead across the South \nEnd to Roxbury. The Washington-St. line is the most interesting, \nand its cars traverse Scollay Square, and run out by the Cathedral and \nthe New-England Conservatory of Music. A little way beyond is passed \nthe venerable and neglected Eliot Burial-Ground, with the graves of \nGovs. Thomas Dudley and Joseph Dudley, Chief-Justice Paul Dudley, \nGen. Greaton, and others. The parish-tomb contains the bones of six \nancient pastors, and of John Eliot, the famous apostle to the Indians. \n\" Rocksberry, because something rocky\" (as a chronicler wrote in 1633), \nwas settled in 1630 ; and gave Gens. Dearborn, Heath, Greaton and \nWarren to the Revolutionary armies ; and Miles, Lee and Amory, \nAdmiral Winslow, and 3,271 soldiers to the War for the Union. It had \n2,000 inhabitants in 1775; and 90,000 in 1S90. In 1846 it became a \ncity, and was annexed to Boston in 1S67. It is a beautifully diversified \nregion of hills and crags, meadows and dales, trees and gardens, amid \nwhich wind fine roads, bordered by thousands of happy suburban homes. \nThe fine old Provincial mansions of the Shirleys, Auchmutys and other \ngreat families have vanished before this vigorous invasion. The rather \nsomnolent business centre of Roxbury is near the convergence of Wash- \nington, Warren and Roxbury Sts. The wooden meeting-house (built in \n1 821) pertains to the Universalists, and occupies the site of Gov. Dudley's \nmansion. Up the hill leads Roxbury St. to Eliot Square, on one side of \nwhich is the Norfolk House, opened in 1825, and now a comfortable \nfamily-hotel and well-known landmark. A short distance beyond, on \nRoxbury St., are the art works of L. Prang & Co., the art and educa- \ntional publishers, whose productions are in use over all the continents. \n\nThe First Parish Church occupies pleasant grounds on Eliot Square, \nwith an excellent and well-preserved specimen of Puritan architecture, \ndating from 1804. The society originated in 1632; and for many years \nhad for its pastor the gentle John Eliot, who gave most of his time to \npreaching to the Indians and translating the Bible into their language. \nAfter nearly two centuries of Orthodoxy, the parish became Unitarian ; \nand Dr. George Putnam led it from 1830 to 1876. James De Normandie \nhas been pastor since 1882. In 1775-76 the steeple on this site served as \na signal-station for the American army ; and the church became a target \nfor cannon-shot from the British lines. \n\nA few minutes' walk along the pleasant Highland St., where E. E. \nHale dwells (No. 39) and W. L. Garrison long lived, leads to the hand- \nsome white minaret built for a water standpipe (now disused), and a \nlandmark for the southern suburbs. Here stood the Roxbury High Fort, \nthe key of the American siege-lines, built by Gen. Knox in 1775, and \nlevelled by municipal vandals in 1869. Many a cannon-shot flew from \nthese parapets against the Royalist batteries in Boston. Near Highland \n\n226 \n\n\n228 \n\n\nKing's \" Hozv to See Boston.'''' \n\n\nSt. is the Fellowes Athenaeum, for which Caleb Fellowes bequeathed about \n$50,000. It is a public library of 30,000 volumes, including a popular \naffiliated branch of the Boston Public Library. \n\nWashington-St. cars run out by the venerable Episcopal church of St. \nJames, a stone fane retired among green lawns ; Notre Dame Academy, \nwith its charming grounds, and the buildings where the Sisters of Notre \nDame teach young ladies ; and the New-England Hospital for Women \nand Children, founded in 1862, with medical, surgical and maternity \nwards, and a capital nurses' training-school, all under the care of a staff \nof highly educated wonien-physicians.

Street-cars lead from Rox- \nbury's business-centre along Dudley St. to Dorchester, traversing the \nattractive residence-district of Mount Pleasant. \n\nWarren St., one of the most attractive in this extensive district of \nhomes, is traversed by street cars. Just to one side, on Kearsarge \nAvenue, is the famous Roxbury Latin School, founded in 1645, by Eliot \nand Dudley, and prolific in eminent men. It is not a part of the public- \nschool system; and has 150 pupils. The birthplace of Gen. Warren is \nshown by a tablet upon a stone cottage occupying its site, on Warren \nSt. Close by is the handsome stone church (with costly memorial \nwindow) of the Roxbury Swedenborgians. At 216 Warren St. is the \nhouse of the Roxbury Club, including nearly 300 well-to-do business \nmen. At Warren and Montrose Sts. stands the grand new Roxbury High \nSchool ; and at Elm Hill is the handsome All Souls' Church (Unitarian), \na quaint stone building, embowered among the trees. Not far beyond is \nthe broad open plaza of Grove Hall, with the late Dr. Cullis's unique \nhome for consumptives, supported by funds received in answer to prayer. \n\n\nKing's \" How to See Boston\" \n\n\n229 \n\n\nThence one car-line runs to Mount Bowdoin and Dorchester ; and \nanother ascends quickly to Franklin Park. \n\nFranklin Park, the leading feature of Boston's park system, covers \nabout 600 acres, and has cost, since 1 870, over $3,000,000. The high \nand rugged ground on the north has been rather elaborately adorned, in a \ndecorative urban manner, with the superb lawn of the Playstead, broken \nonly by a flagstaff of Oregon pine ; the very spacious and high-placed \nOverlook house, 800 feet long, girt \nabout with flower-fringed battle- \nments of rock ; the inchoate drive- \nway of the Greeting ; and other \nfeatures. \n\nA long and handsome masonry \nwall, with very picturesque por- \ntals, red-tiled tops, and bastions \nof roses, separates this section \nfrom the so-called Country Park, \nwhere the features have been made \nmore broad, free and natural, with \nthe trellised Italian arbors of \nSchoolmaster Hill (in old days \nR. W. Emerson's favorite haunt), \nthe splendid carriage-concourse \ncrowning Scarborough Hill, the \nlong vistas down Nazingdale, the \nvenerable forest of Abbotswood, \nand other glorious attractions. \nFirm white roads wind along the \nrich green pastures, where collie- \ndogs and shepherds guard flocks \nof grazing sheep, put here for \npicturesque effect ; and tall elms \ndiversify the sloping glades with \ntheir flower-like grace. At the end of the vistas rise the distant and lofty \nBlue Hills of Milton, with admirable artistic effects. There are quiet \nblue ponds, half-artificial labyrinths of wilderness, really remarkable rock- \nscenery, tennis and ball grounds, refectories, and shelters for rainy hours. \nThe best way to see these attractions is to take the comfortable park- \ncarriages, always in waiting at the gate on Blue-Hill Avenue (at the end \nof the Boston street-car line). The drivers are familiar with the points \nof interest. The drive is seven miles long ; and the charge is 25 cents \nfor each person. \n\nFranklin Field is a tract of 80 acres, just beyond the park, on Blue- \nHill Avenue, changed by the city in 1893-94 from a flower-entangled wet \nmeadow to a vast level lawn, for the drilling of the militia in summer, \nand the playing of cricket and other games. In winter it is flooded, for \n\n\nBUNKER-HILL MONUMENT, CHARLESTOWN. \n\n\n230 \n\n\nKing's \" How to See Boston.\" \n\n\nskating. The Park and Field were named for Benjamin Franklin, the \nmost illustrious native of Boston, who in 1791 bequeathed the town \n\n^j.,000, to be loaned out as directed, \nthe accruing fund to be given to Bos- \nton, after a century, \"for public works \nto make living more convenient to its \npeople, and more agreeable to strang- \ners resorting thither. \" In 1891, there- \nfore, the city received nearly $400,000 \nfrom this fund, which was first in- \ntended to be devoted to the park, but \nafterwards was set apart for a great \ntrades-school. \n\nWithin 20 years, Boston has gener- \nously paid out $15,000,000 for parks, \nincluding those at East Boston and \nCharlestown Heights, Charlesbank, the \nFens, Jamaica Pond, the Arboretum, \nFranklin Park, and the Marine Park \nat South Boston, with their connecting \nparkways ; and also including her pro- \nportion of the cost of the outlying Met- \nropolitan parks, at Middlesex Fells, the \nWaverly Oaks, the Stony-Brook forest, \nand the Blue Hills.

The route is along Tremont St. \nNear Tremont station is seen a region of immense breweries, where \nPfaff, Roessle, Burkhardt, and other experts yearly make hundreds of \nthousands of barrels of lager beer. Quite naturally, a large German popula- \ntion has settled in this fragrant valley. The huge and frequently ornate \nbrick buildings, with their broad yards, indicate a high prosperity in the busi- \nness of making bitter decoctions of malt. On the right is the lofty Parker \nHill ; and on the high ground on the left, Prang's lithograph works and \nthe graceful white tower of the Highland stand-pipe. North Heath and \nMarcella Sts. lead to the much-praised Marcella-St. Home, a municipal \nasylum for pauper and neglected children under 16, with graded schools \nand religious services. \nAnother short walk, \nalong Amory St., leads \nto the Notre-Dame Aca- \ndemy and the New- \nEngland Hospital. \n\nThe street-cars \ncross the Providence \nRailway on Centre St., \na broad and pleasant \nrural thoroughfare, with \nspacious estates and \nshadowy old trees on its \nsides.

But sober history claims that the name was given about \nthe year 1680, in honor of Oliver Cromwell's recent conquest of the island \nof Jamaica from Spain. Govs. Bernard, Hancock and Bowdoin, Com. \nLoring, \"Peter Parley,\" Parkman, and other well-known persons have \nhad their country-seats hereabouts ; and several fine old colonial man- \nsions still survive. The region around Jamaica Pond has many handsome \nestates, with pleasant and picturesque roads. The street-cars pass Curtis \nHall, a large and handsome building built for the town hall, before West \nRoxbury was annexed to Boston ; and the Unitarian Church, a dignified \n\n\nPERKINS' INSTITUTION AND MASS.

His friends have raised a fund to erect a memorial here. \nA charming parkway, with ponds and meadows, trees and thickets, \nunites Jamaica Park with the Back-Bay Fens ; and another leads to \nthe Arboretum. The beautiful Franklin Park lies close to Jamaica Plain, \nand may be entered by Glen Road, \namid some fine rock-scenery. \n\nThe Arnold Arboretum and Bussey \nInstitution, a mile or so south of the \nvillage, by South St., is an estate origi- \nnally of 360 acres, and since much en- \nlarged. This property and a consider- \nable fund were bequeathed in 1842 by \nBenjamin Bussey, to Harvard Univer- \nsity, for a school of agriculture and \nhorticulture. It came into the posses- \nsion of the University in 1870 ; and \ntwo years later James Arnold of New \nBedford bequeathed to Harvard $100,- \n000, to create here an arboretum and a \nprofessorship of tree-culture. Harvard \nmaintains these institutions ; and the \ncity of Boston constructs and keeps up \nand polices the roads and paths, and \nreceives in return the use of the domain \nas a part of its park system, for 999 \nyears. The Bussey Institution has a \nhandsome Victorian-Gothic stone build- \ning of 112 feet front, on a far-viewing \neminence, for its class-rooms ; and a \nnew fireproof brick edifice for the her- \nbarium, library, etc. The Arboretum \nis the finest and most extensive and varied collection of trees in the \nworld ; and is traversed by charming winding roads and paths, leading \nupward to the concourse on top of Mount Bellevue, with its vast and \nimpressive prospect. \n\nThe Adams Nervine Asylum, adjacent to the Bussey grounds, on \nCentre St., has 18 acres of pleasant park-land, and is devoted to relieving \nover-nervous Massachusetts persons, not insane. It was opened in 1880, \nupon an endowment of $600,000 from Seth Adams, a South Boston \nsugar-refiner. \n\nForest- Hills Cemetery, on the other side of the Providence Railway, \nadjoins Franklin Park, and covers 225 acres.

In this labyrinth of graves are the last resting-places of \nAdmirals Winslow (of the Kearsarge} and Thatcher, Gens. Warren, \n(slain at Bunker Hill) and Dearborn, E. L. Davenport and John Gilbert, \nW. L. Garrison and J. F.

French, and \nplaced over Milmore's grave. Winslow's memorial is a granite boulder \nfrom Mt. Kearsarge. The cemetery is easily reached from town by the \nProvidence Railway to Forest-Hills station; and street-cars also run from \nthe station to the city, along Washington St. Mount- Hope Cemetery, \nto the southward, contains 106 acres, with the Soldiers' Monument of \nheavy artillery, given by the Government. \n\nNear the Jamaica Plain Station of the Providence Railroad (N. Y., \nN. H. & Hartford R. R.) is the extensive plant of the B. F. Sturtevant \nCo., the most eminent manufacturers of blowers and exhaust fans, which \n\n\n238 \n\n\nKing's ' ' How to See Boston. \n\n\nare now so widely used for heating, ventilating, drying, exhausting and \nother purposes. Here also are made many other Sturtevant machines, \nsteam engines, portable forges, hot-blast heating apparatus, etc. \n\nThere are several pleasant suburban villages farther out in West \nRoxbury. There also is Brook Farm, an estate of 200 acres along \nCharles River, where Ripley, Hawthorne, C. A. Dana, Margaret Fuller, \nand others established a socialistic community in 1841.

The \nRoyalist raiders destroyed a few Provincial military supplies at Concord, \n6 miles west, but were hunted back to Boston by the fast-assembling militia, \nlosing 273 men, and barely escaping annihilation. The Lexington Town \nHall contains statues of Hancock and Adams, and the Minute-Man of \n1775 and the Volunteer of 1861 ; and many curiosities. The Cary Free \nLibrary is in this building. The forest and hill scenery in this region is \nfull of quiet beauty. Theodore Parker was born here. \n\n\nBROOKLINE AND NEWTON. \n\n\nTHE street-car ride from the Granary Burial-Ground to Chestnut Hill \nis the most attractive and interesting excursion by land out of Bos- \nton. The cars follow Tremont St. to the end of the Common, and then \ngo up Boylston St., past the Common and Public Garden, Trinity Church, \nthe Museum of Fine Arts, and the Public Library, and on to Massachusetts \nAvenue. Here it passes the Norseman statue and the Harvard Bridge, \nand turns on to the famous Beacon St., with Charles River on the right. \nBeyond the sumptuous Charlesgate Hotel, it crosses the Back-Bay Fens, \nwith interesting views all around. Outer Beacon St., generally known \nas the Boulevard, is one of the most beautiful of American thorough- \nfares. Within a few years it has been developed from an ordinary sub- \nurban road into a parkway of imperial width, with the car-tracks hidden \n\nin a grassy \nand tree- \nshaded belt \nin the cen- \ntre ; broad \ndriveways on \neither side ; \nand pleasant \nsidewalks \nbeyond. The \nhandsomest \nequipages in \nthe State \ntraverse this \nroad (but \nhardly in \nsummer), to- \ngether with \nmany hum- \nbler turn-outs, and endless scattering processions of all manner of cycles. \nOn the heights to the left conspicuously loom the Beaconfield Terrace \nand similar lines of handsome nouses, provided with certain noteworthy \ncommunistic features to enhance their luxury. \n\nLongwood is an idyllic hamlet just to the left of the Boulevard, with \nmany patrician homes under its overarching trees, grouped around the \nhandsome Gothic Episcopal Church of Our Saviour, with its stone spire, \nrich stained-glass windows, and broad surrounding lawns. A little way \nbeyond is a stone chapel, built and maintained by the Sears family as a \nmemorial. The luxurious cottages and fragrant gardens, the quiet and \nrefinement of Longwood have long made it a hoped-for ideal for young \npersons contemplating matrimony ; wherefore one of its little streets has \n\n239 \n\n\nEDWARD EVERETT HALE'S HOMt:, 39 HIGHLANO STREET, ROXBURY. \n\n\nKing's ' ' How to See Boston. \" \n\n\n241 \n\n\nborne the popular appellation of \"Honeymoon Row.\" The Fenway and \nRiverdale park strip, connecting the Back-Bay Fens with Jamaica Park, \noccupies the valley to the eastward, with pleasant walks and rambles. \nCorey Hill rises from the Boulevard on the right, and has many houses. \nIt commands one of the finest views in Eastern Massachusetts. \n\nChestnut- Hill Reservoir, five miles from the Boston City Hall, in \nBrighton, is the usual terminus of the Boulevard rides. It has 125 acres \nof water-surface, containing 730,000,000 gallons, and receiving in its two \nsections the waters from Cochituate Lake and the Sudbury River, either \nseparate or blended, according to desire. The colossal and ingenious \npumping machinery, in a large stone building near the Boulevard, will \nreward inspection. The reservoir is encircled by a splendid macadamized \n\n\nROXBURY HIGH SCHOOL, WARREN AND MONTROSE STREETS, ROXBURY. \n\n\ndriveway, 60 or 80 feet wide and two and one half miles long, traversing \nbeautiful grounds and overlooking this beneficent artificial lake, whose \nirregular curving shores increase the beauty of the scene. Common- \nwealth Avenue passes near the northern side, in its magnificent course \nfrom the Boston Public Garden far out into the Newtons. Beyond the \nreservoir is the patrician hamlet of Chestnut Hill, the home of the Lees, \nLowells, Shaws, and Saltonstalls ; and still farther out is the venerable \nvillage of Newton Centre. \n\nBrookline proper, the chief business-centre of the town, may be reached \nby turning from the Boulevard to the southward down Harvard St., pass- \ning the very handsome Harvard Congregational Church. Here is the \n\n\n242 \n\n\nKing's \" Hozo to See Boston.'1'' \n\n\nUNITARIAN CHURCH AND \nSOLDIERS' MONUMENT AT JAMAICA PLAIN. \n\n\nspacious stone Town Hall ; \nand also the Public Library \n(of 30,000 volumes), with \nseveral churches and many- \nstores. This town, with up- \nwards of 12,000 inhabitants \nand enormous wealth, has at \nseveral elections refused to \nbe annexed to the metropo- \nlis, preferring its own local \nadministration, although \nnearly surrounded by Boston. \nIts pleasant valleys and noble \nhills are traversed by the \nfinest of streets, which it is \nthe fashion here to call \n\"roads,\" as Gardner Road, \nLanark, Chiswick and Sel- \nkirk Roads, etc. ; and here \nare the secluded country-houses of scores of wealthy families. In the \nremoter rural region is the estate of the fashionable Country Club, made \nup of 600 swell Bostonians, who find here capital facilities for riding, \ngolf, tennis, shooting, polo and other \nathletic sports, and good dinners withal. \nNewton, \"the Garden City,\" has a \ndozen picturesque Albany R. R. sta- \ntions. There are also street-car lines \nfrom Boston to Newton, across Cam- \nbridge or Brookline and Brighton. \nNewton has 25,000 inhabitants, in 15 \nbeautiful villages, amid much pleasant \nscenery of hills and forests, lakes and \nwinding streams, meadows and upland \nplains. It has a handsome Public \nLibrary (50,000 volumes), the Baptist \nTheological Seminary, the Lasell Sem- \ninary, Lee's fine Woodland-Park Hotel, \ndelightful boating on the Charles, just \nbelow where it is spanned by the grace- \nful Echo Bridge, one of the most won- \nderful pontifical constructions in the \nworld. It is the home of the Rev. Dr. \nS. F. Smith, who wrote \"America.\" \n\nOne may return from Brookline or to \nBoston quickly by the Albany Railroad ; \nor more leisurely by the electric cars.

It then had 3,000 inhabitants, which had increased to \n12,032 m 1890. The town sent 365 soldiers to the War for the Union, \nexceeding its quota. The slaughtering business, founded in 1 775, and \nthe nursery, flower and fruit business, founded in 1S10, were long the \nchief features here, but although these ha^e since grown greatly in vol- \n\n\nume, they \n\n\nhave been in a way set apart ; \nvance is as a place of \nrural and suburban \nhomes for Boston busi- \nness men. The unusual \nfertility of the soil, the \nbeauty of the hills and \nglens, and the inimita- \nble excellence of the \nroads are valuable traits \ntoward this develop- \nment. \n\nBrighton may be \nreached in a few min- \nutes by the Albany \nRailroad. A slower, \npleasanter and more ex- \npensive way is to drive \nout from Boston, by \nBeacon St. and the fa- \nmous Mill-Dam road, \nthe favorite speedway \nfor fast horses. Here, \nin winter, in May and \nJune, and in autumn \nthe finest teams in Bos- \nton may be seen, with \nthe best roadsters and \nmost expert drivers, a \ntruly inspiring specta- \ncle.

Just \n\n\nCHESTNUT HILL RESERVOIR. \n\nbeyond, the car again crosses Charles River, and enters Brighton, not far \nfrom the famous old Beacon-Park race-course. \n\nAllston, at the western end of the Mile-Ground pleasure-drive, is a \nmodern suburban village, named for Washington Allston, the illustrious \nartist, whose studio was across the river, in Cambridgeport. Here are \nthe spacious car-shops of the Albany Railroad. \n\nBrighton Centre, a mile farther on, by the street-cars, has been for \n\n\n** A \n\n\nCHESTNUT HILL RESERVOIR, PUMP HOUSE. \n\n\nKing's \" Hozv to See Boston.\" \n\n\n245 \n\n\nmany years the foremost cat- \ntle-mart of New England. \n\nOak Square, the end of \nthe car-line, is close to Bige- \nlow Hill, which commands \nan interesting and extensive \nview over the Charles-River \nvalley and far beyond. Not \nfar distant is St. John's Ec- \nclesiastical Seminary, with its \nvast and fortress- like Norman \nwalls and towers of stone, ris- \ning on an eminence near two \npleasant ponds. This finely- \nequipped institution for edu- \ncating Catholic priests was \nbuilt in 1881-85, and is con- \nducted by Sulpician fathers. \nIt has 120 students. On \nLake St. is the Sheltering \nHome for Animals, founded Cambridge c.ty hall, at cambridgeport. \n\nin 1884 by Ellen M. Gifford ; with a fine brick administration house and \nmany kennels and yards for homeless dogs and cats, who are painlessly \nkilled if hopelessly sick, medically treated if curable, copiously fed, and \nsold or given to good masters. \n\nThe Abattoir, on the navigable Charles River and two railways, was \nfounded in 1873, after careful studies of the best European methods, at a \ncost of $500,000 ; and can slaughter daily 300 cattle and 3,000 sheep. \nTight floors, scientific sewerage, prompt rendering, a free use of ice \nand water, and regular inspections by the Board of Health make this \nestablishment at once efficient and inoffensive. No private slaughtering \nis allowed. 1,500,000 animals are received here yearly. \n\nStreet-cars lead from Allston or Brighton to the Boulevard, in Brook- \nline, connecting with the cars thereon for Chestnut Hill or Boston. \n\n\nBACK-BAY DISTRICT, ACROSS THE CHARLES RIVER, FROM THE WEST-BOSTON BRIDGE. \n\n\nCAMBRIDGE, HARVARD AND MT. AUBURN. \n\nCAMBRIDGE, the most famous university town in America, may be \nreached by the street-cars from Bowdoin Square across the West- \nBoston Bridge, or from the Granary Burial-Ground across the Harvard \nBridge, or by cars from Park Square. In any case, a fine view of the \nCharles- River Basin may be en- \n\n\njoyed from the long bridges. The \nWest- Boston Bridge and its pros- \npects are frequently exploited in \nthe writings of Longfellow, Low- \nell, and Holmes. \n\nAs Howells says : \" It is a joy in \nevery nerve to ride out over the Long \nBridge at high tide, and looking \nsouthward to see the wide crinkle and \nglitter of that beautiful expanse of \nwater, which laps on one hand the \ngranite quays of the city, and on the \nother washes away the reeds and \nwild grasses of the salt meadows. A \nship coming slowly up the channel, \nor a dingy tug violently darting \nathwart it, gives an additional pleas- \nure to the eye, and adds something \ndreamy or vivid to the pleasure of the scene. It is hard to say at what hour of the \nsummer day the prospect is loveliest, and I am certainly not going to speak of the \nsunset as the least of its delights.\"' \n\nThe newer Harvard Bridge is more artistic, and the route thereto \nleads through the charming Back-Bay District, past the Public \n\n\nFrrrrffrrri' \n\n\nmi i f> \n\n\nPUBLIC LIBRARY, CAMBRIDGE. \n\n\nGarden, Trinity Church, the Public Library, and the Art Museum. \nIt might be well to go one way and return by the other. There is \na fourth route, crossing the Canal Bridge to East Cambridge, and \nthence following Cambridge St. Each of these lines reaches Harvard \nUniversity. East Cambridge and Cambridgeport contain extensive \nfactories, where sugar, furniture, pumps, organs, boxes, provisions, and \n\nmany other arti- \ncles are made or \nprepared by large \nindustrial popula- \ntions. East Cam- \nbridge has the \ncourt - house and \njail of Middlesex \nCounty. Here are \nthe spacious pork- \npacking works of \nJohn P.

The products, universally \nknown as \"Revere sugars,\" are sold by Nash, Spaulding & Co., of Bos- \nton, who are the main owners of the refinery. \n\nOn First St. the eminent school-book firm of Ginn & Co. are estab- \nlishing a model industrial community, made up of their mammoth \nbrick and stone printing-house, and the comfortable new dwellings of \ntheir employees. The text-books of Ginn & Co., in ancient and modern \nlanguages, covering the whole field of education, rank as the peers of any \n\nin the world. On Hamp- \nshire St. are the numerous \nbuildings and offices of the \nGeo. G. Page Box Company, \nby far the largest and best- \nequipped concern in its in- \ndustry in New England. \nThe variety in shapes, sizes, \nand qualities of the boxes \nturned out here for its \nmyriad of patrons is almost \nincredible. \n\nThe Riverside Press, less \nthan a mile from Harvard \nUniversity, on the banks of \nCharles River, was founded \nin 1 85 1 by H. O. Hough- \nton, and has four acres of \ngrounds, with handsome \nb u i 1 d in g s and 600 em- \nployees.

They include the City Hall, a \n\n\n2^2 \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.''' \n\n\nnoble and stately stone edifice, on Massachusetts Avenue, with a tower \nwhich would do honor to Florence ; the Public Library, a very attractive \nround-arched stone building, at Broadway and Trowbridge St., contain- \ning over 50,000 volumes ; the High School, an imposing stone and light \npressed-brick structure, opposite the Public Library, for which Mr. \nRindge donated the land ; and the Manual Training School, a quaint \nbrick building thoroughly equipped for its varied instructions, the whole \ncost of which, as well as its maintenance, is borne by Mr. Rindge. These \nthree institutions form valuable adjuncts to Cambridge's Public Schools. \n\nHarvard University, the illustrious institution which has made Cam- \nbridge known in all civilized lands, is in that part of the city known as \nOld Cambridge. The College Yard includes 22 acres. \n\nThe Legislature in 1636 appropriated ^400, or an entire year's tax \nof the Colony, for a school at Newtown (Cambridge) ; and two years \nlater John Harvard, a young non-conforming curate of Charlestown, died, \n\n\nWASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS, LONGFELLOW'S HOME, BRATTLE STREET, CAMBKIDGE. \n\nand bequeathed ^\"Soo and his library to the new institution, which by \nlegislative act then received his name. By degrees, and with very hard \nwork, the college has freed itself from State and Church, and accumulated \nproperty estimated at $12,000,000, while gaining a paramount place in \neducation. The schools of medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine \nare in Boston ; that of agriculture in West Roxbury ; and the academic, \nscientific, law, divinity, and graduates' schools, in Cambridge. Each \nschool has its own funds and faculty. In the summer vacation the College \nYard is deserted, and outside falls \" the elmy quiet of the dear old Cam- \nbridge streets,\" extending Arlington-ward along Massachusetts Avenue, \nwhich Howells called \" not only handsome, but probably the very dullest \nstreet in the world.\" \n\n\nHARVARD UNIVERSITY: COLLEGE YARD AND VICINITY \n\n\n254 \n\n\nKing's \" How to See Boston.'1'' \n\n\nThe main entrance to the College Yard is from the western side, \nthrough the antique Johnston gateway, designed by McKim, Mead & \nWhite. Pertaining to Harvard University are too many buildings to be \nenumerated here. The venerable Massachusetts Hall, erected in 1720, a \nbarrack for American troops in the Revolution, a dormitory for over a \ncentury, is now occupied by lecture-halls. Parkman roomed here. \nHarvard Hall, with a quaint belfry, was erected in 1765, and now has \nlecture-rooms, etc. Matthews Hall, a handsome Gothic dormitory, was \nerected in 1 872, at a cost of $120,000. Dane Hall, a little brick building, \nwas from 1 830 to 1 885 the seat of the Law School. The granite Boyls- \nton Hall contains chemical laboratories and collections. Grays Hall, built \nof brick, in 1863, has 52 suites of dormitories. Wadsworth House (1726), \na brown wooden building fronting on Massachusetts Avenue, was for 123 \nyears the home of the Harvard presidents. College House, across the \nsquare west from the yard, was the domicile of Evarts, Dana, Justice \n\nGray, Rockwood \nand G. F. Hoar, \nProf. Goodwin \nand Joseph H. \nChoate. Gore \nHall, a g r a y - \ngranite Gothic \nbuilding, erected \nin 1838, and later \nenlarged, con- \ntains many inter- \nesting pictures \nand busts, and the \nUniversity Li- \nbrary of 450,000 \nvolumes. Only \nthe Congressional \n\nand Boston Public libraries exceed it in number ; and even these have \nfewer unduplicated books. Weld Hall is a Mansard-roofed brick dormi- \ntory. University Hall(i8i5) is a white-granite building, with university \noffices. Sever Hall, with its recitation and lecture rooms, is one of the \nnotable architectural works of H. H. Richardson. Thayer Hall, erected \nin 1870, at a cost of $115,000, has 68 dormitory suites. The round-arched \nyellow-stone Appleton Chapel is where the students voluntarily attend \nreligious services. The Fogg Art Museum, with its rounding walls and \nheavy pillars, is to contain the art-treasures of the university. Holden \nChapel, built in 1744, has been later used for instruction and elocutionary \npractice.

At the east end is the classical Sanders \nTheatre, for public exercises and concerts ; and under the tower is the \nMemorial Transept, 115 feet long and 58 feet high, with marble tablets \nbearing the names of 136 Harvard men who were slain in the War for the \nUnion. The immense dining-hall (larger than any in England), where \nmore than 1,200 students eat daily, stretches thence westward, 164 by 60 \nfeet, and 80 feet high, with a grand timber-roof ; a lofty wainscot, em- \nbellished with scores of portraits of New-England worthies, by artists like \nCopley and Stuart, Hunt and Vin- \n\n\nton, Powers and Crawford (cata- \nlogues near entrance) ; many very \ncostly memorial stained-glass win- \ndows, erected by various classes ; \nand a magnificent western window, \nemblazoned with the arms of the \nRepublic, the State, and the Uni- \nversity. Outside the Memorial- \nHall cloister is the fine bronze \nideal statue of John Harvard, by \nD. C.

This \ninstitution dates from 1867 ; and has 40 students. \n\nLongfellow's house, just beyond the Episcopal School, on the same \nside of Brattle St., is the most famous private house in America (Mount \nVernon being public). It is a comfortable mansion, set in broad grounds, \namid fine elms. Built in 1759, it was deserted by Col. Vassall, its Tory \nmaster, in 1775, and occupied by Washington (and his wife) as head- \nquarters during the eight months of the siege of Boston. Longfellow \ncame here as a boarder in 1837 ; became possessed of the house later ; and \ndied here in 1882. His family now dwells here.

Across Brattle St. from the \nLongfellow house, but nearer the University Press, is the Vassall \nmansion, built about 1700, and in 1775-76 the headquarters of the medi- \ncal staff of the army, and a hospital for the wounded from Bunker Hill. \n\nFarther on is the home of John Bartlett, whose \"Familiar Quota- \ntions \" has run through many editions. \n\nLowell's house, \" Elmwood,\" is some way beyond Longfellow's, on the \nsame side of Brattle St. This also was built before the Revolution, and \ndeserted by its Royalist owner, Lieut. -Gov.

It may be reached most quickly by the Fitchburg \nRailway from Boston. On the north is the charming park around Fresh \nPond ; on the south, Charles River winds seaward. Note the ponderous \nEgyptian entrance ; the statue of Hosea Ballou ; the bronze statue of \nBowditch, to the right, inside ; the grand Sphinx, commemorating the \nslain National soldiers in the War for the Union ; and the handsome \nChapel, in which are Greenough's statue of Winthrop, Crawford's of \nJames Otis, Randolph Rogers's of John Adams, and Story's of Joseph \n\n\nm \n\n\n^BHHK \n\n\nNANTASKET BEACH, IN BOSTON HARBOR. \n\n\nStory.

The beauty of this wide area of hills, vales and ponds has been \nimproved by landscape-gardening, fine trees and rich flowers. The cem- \netery is open to visitors, except on Sunday, from 7 A. M. until sunset. \n\n\nBOSTON HARBOR. \n\n\nVERY comfortable steamboats leave Rowe's Wharf many times daily, \nin -summer, for Hull, Hingham and Nantasket. It is often quite \nrefreshing, on a hot day in town, to make this little salt-water journey, \nespecially if the wind is east, and the steamer uncrowded. \n\nAfter the boat is well into the stream, and past the yachts moored on \nthe Upper Middle Shoal, the Navy Yard and the big English steamships \nat East Boston appear on the left ; and on the right South Boston swells \nupward, from the docks and factories near the water, to the Blind \nAsylum on the heights. Farther out are the fine gray walls of Fort \nIndependence. On the opposite side of the channel rise the high bluffs \nof Governor's Island, granted to Gov. Winthrop in 1632, and held in his \nfamily till 1808. The ponderous bastions and traverses of Fort Winthrop, \nand its formidable citadel mounted with long Parrott guns, now occupy \nthe hills, with connected water-batteries. Beyond this embattled island, \nwell in-shore toward the pleasant peninsular town of Winthrop, is Apple \nIsland, marked by its tall elms. On the other side of the ship-channel, \nback of Castle Island, appear the ancient yellow brick buildings and dark \ngroves of the Farm School, on Thompson's Island, where 100 indigent \nboys are given book, farm, and industrial instruction, with a care for \ntheir morals, manners and sports. When grown up, places are found for \nthem. The institution dates from 1814, and occupied this spacious and \npleasant island (an Indian trading-post in 1626) in 1835. Next, near the \nchannel, come the high bluffs of Spectacle Island, where for 38 years \nthe dead horses of Boston have been converted into useful products. \nNext our course lies across President Roads, with Deer Island on the left \nfront, bearing the municipal House of Industry, the House of Reformation \n\nfor Girls, a truant-school, \nand other places of deten- \ntion. It was once a deer- \nhaunted forest of 200 acres ; \nand afterwards a prison for \nhundreds of Indian captives. \nA light-house occupies one \nof its headlands. \n\nLong Island, l*£ miles \nlong, with several sea-gnawed \nbluffs, has a spacious modern \nbrick building for the city's \npaupers. On the heights at \nthe seaward end is a round \nwhite lighthouse, and also a \nbattery for the defense of \nBroad Sound. The sea-wall \n\n\nTHE \" MINUTE MAN \" AT CONCORD. \n\n\n260 \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.\" \n\n\n261 \n\n\nbelow cost $150,000. A picturesque village of Azore-Island fishermen \noccupied the eastern bay until 1885, when they were evicted by the city. \n\nBeyond Long Island is the green bluff of Gallop's Island, with the neat \nwhite hospital and other buildings of the Quarantine station ; the low plain \nof Lovell's Island, with the wharf and spare buoys of the U. -S. Lighthouse \nservice ; the weird black beacon of Nix's Mate, with its grisly legends of \noldtime pirates ; and Rainsford Island, the seat of city almshouses. Out- \nside lies a range of seven rocky islets, several of which are inhabited by \ngroups of daring fishermen. One of them carries the tall white tower of \n\n\nTUCKER'S LANDING, MARBLEHEAD. \n\nBoston Light, built in 17S3, on the site of one blown up by British marines \nin 1776. There was some hard fighting hereabouts during the Revolution. \nThe Bug Light rises out of the water from a long gravelly bar, standing \non spidery iron pillars, but snugly inhabited, and flashing a red light over \nthe sea at night. \n\nFort Warren, built in 1833-50, on George's Island, has a garrison of \nFederal artillerists, and commands the narrow entrance of the harbor \nwith an armament of 400 cannon. The handsome granite walls are \npartly hidden by modern earthworks and water-batteries of enormous \nthickness. The barbette guns are visible, and the sentries at the main \ngate, and the bright garrison-flag. Fort Warren was fully garrisoned \nduring the War for the Union, and held in durance thousands of Confed- \nerate prisoners, including Alex. H. Stephens, Mason and Slidell, Buck- \nner, and many generals, besides disloyal civilians from the Border States. \n\nFarther on, after a view out to sea, down Nantasket Roads, the \nsteamboat rushes through the narrow Hull Gut, with the lonely bluffs of \n\n\n262 \n\n\nA'ing's ' ' How to See Boston. \n\n\nPeddock's Island on the right, and on the other side the much-frequented \nHotel Pemberton. \n\nHull, with its steamboat-piers, Hull Yacht-Club house, hotels great \nand small, and many summer-cottages, lies in the very breath of the sea, \nsurrounded by salt water. Back of it rises Telegraph Hill, bearing the \nremains of a fort planned by Lafayette, and long garrisoned by French \ntroops and Massachusetts militia. Many a heavy round shot from this \nsea-viewing eyrie crashed into His Majesty's frigates in Nantasket Roads, \nor hurtled out to check British blockaders venturing too far inward. \nHundreds of our French allies lie buried on the lower eastern slope of the \n\n\nECHO BRIDGE, BOSTON AQUEDUCT, NEWTON UPPER FALLS. \n\nhill. Hull was settled some years before Boston ; and earlier in this cen- \ntury was enlarged by mariners from the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic, \nand similar outlandish places, whose descendants remain in the quaint \nhamlet. Lord Nelson cruised off here, on blockade-duty. Scores of fatal \nwrecks have occurred on the perilous rocks outside of Hull. \n\nNantasket Beach is reached from Hull by the steamboat crossing \nHingham Bay and ascending the serpentine Weir River ; or by a railway, \nrunning along the sea-bounds. It is a fine expanse of gray sand, several \nmiles long, between the ocean and the harbor, beaten by a light surf, and \naffording opportunity for safe bathing. Above the high-tide line are \ngroups of hotels, restaurants, chowder-houses, and bathing-houses, where \nAnglo-Saxon-Celtic-Latin-Slav Boston sends tens of thousands of her \ncitizens on torrid summer days. It is a grand place for \"a good time \" in \na democratic way. Inland people who would appreciate the mystery and \n\n\nKing's \"How to See Boston.'''' \n\n\n263 \n\n\nmagic and awe of the sea will find less human distraction at a lonely- \nbeach like the Humarocks, down in the Old Colony, or on the lofty and \npicturesque wave-beaten rocks of East Point, at Nahant. \n\nHingham, visited by some of the harbor-boats, is a quaint and vener- \nable village, once well-known in maritime commerce, but now mainly \nregarded as a place of summer-homes, and the campground of the Cadets. \nThe church known as the \"Old Ship,\" built in 1681, and still used by \nthe First Parish, has a long steep roof running up on four sides to a balus- \ntraded platform and a narrow pointed belfry. It is said to be the oldest \nchurch in continuous use in New England. Back of this building is the \ngrave - yard, on a terraced hill, with tall \nmonuments \"To the Early Settlers of \nHingham,\" and the 76 soldiers who died in \nthe War for the Union ; the tomb of Gen. \nLincoln (a native of Hingham), who com- \nmanded the Army of the South in 1778-80 ; \nand a noble statue over the grave of War- \nGovernor Andrew. Pleasant roads lead in- \nland by Liberty Plain to Queen Anne Corner \nand Assinippi ; and seaward to the grand \nJerusalem Road, following the rocky coast \nfor miles, and lined by broad patrician \nestates. Govs. Andrew and Long were \nresidents of Hingham. R. H. Stoddard \nwas born here. \n\nA large illustrated book has been writ- \nten about the Indian, colonial and subse- \nquent legends and picturesque occurrences \non and about the harbor islands. No other \nAmerican bay has such a wealth of history, \ntradition and poetry. None on the North \nAtlantic coast surpasses it in natural beauty. \nHere is the yachting headquarters of the \nWestern World, for though New York has \nricher yachtsmen and more costly boats, the Yankee bay has a vastly \ngreater number, and very many more men who find delight in blue-water \nsailing. As to their quality, the old America (that won the cup), the \nPuritan, Mayflozver and Volunteer, were all Massachusetts yachts. The \nharbor has more yachts, more regattas, and more yacht clubs (23 ; with \n3,000 members) than any other in the world. \n\nPlymouth (Old Colony R. R. ; 37 miles) is a quiet provincial seaport \nof 8,000 inhabitants. Plymouth Rock, \" the corner-stone of the Repub- \nlic,\" is a boulder down near the harbor, protected by a lofty granite \ncanopy, whose upper part contains the bones of the pilgrims who died in \nthe bitter winter of 1620 21. The National Monument to the Forefath- \ners is an immense and noble marble and granite memorial. \n\n\nPOWDER HOUSE AT SOMERVILLE. \n\n\nWELLESLEY COLLEGE, FOR HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN. \n\nWELLESLEY, MASS., ON T1-1E BOSTON & ALBANY RAILROAD. \n\n\n265 \n\n\nCHELSEA, CONCORD AND WELLESLEY. \n\n\nCHELSEA, reached by steam and street-cars from Boston and Charles- \ntown, across the Mystic River, passing the handsome U. -S. Naval \nHospital (a granite building erected in 1836-65, with 75 acres of grounds), \nis a city of 30,000 inhabitants, with the noted Low art-potteries and tile- \nworks, and rope-walks and other industries, the most famous of which \nis the vast establishment of the Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Co., \nwhose art and commercial productions are unsurpassed in America or \nEurope, and whose customers cover the continent. The Mass. Soldiers' \nHome, with hundreds of disabled veterans, crowns Powder-Horn Hill, \noverlooking the sea and harbor, and all the northern suburbs. Wood- \nlawn, two miles out, is the chief cemetery \nin the northern suburbs, and has beautiful \navenues and monuments, the far-viewing \nChapel and Elm Hills, and the curious \nGingko trees. \n\nConcord, 20 miles from Boston by the \n\n\nFitchburg Railroad, contains the former \ndwelling of Emerson ; the Wayside house, \nwhere Hawthorne dwelt ; the old home of \nLouisa M. Alcott ; the Old Manse, Emer- \nson's and Hawthorne's home for years ; and \nthe graves of Emerson, Thoreau and Haw- \nthorne, on a hill in Sleepy-Hollow Cemetery : \nEmerson's, with a rose-quartz boulder ; Haw- \nthorne's, a low marble headstone over a \nmyrtle-clad grave, with arbor-vit?e hedges ; \nthe blue-granite headstone of Thoreau ; and \nthe five low marble stones over A. B. Alcott \nand his daughter Louisa and her \"Little \nWomen.\" Just beyond the Old Manse is \nthe bridge about which began the battle of April 19, 1775, when 400 \nminute-men drove away three companies of British light infantry. The \nbodies of the slain Royalists lie buried near the bridge, on the further \nside of which is D. C. French's noble bronze statue of \"The Minute- \nMan. \" The Public Library, besides its 20,000 books, has many curiosi- \nties, with fine paintings and busts. Channing, Hoar, Sanborn, Everett, \nMann, Margaret Fuller and G. W. Curtis were dwellers in Concord. \n\nWellesley (Albany R. R. ; 14 miles) is celebrated for its college for \nwomen, whose picturesque main building, 475 feet long, was designed by \nHammatt Billings, \"the artist-architect.\" There are several other fine \nedifices, rich art-collections, and an immense library. The college dates \nfrom 1875 » nas about 1,000 students and 300 acres of beautiful grounds \nbordered by Lake Waban and the superb Hunnewell gardens. \n\nThe End, not of the Story, but of this Book. \n\n2G6 \n\n\nNOHUMBEGA TOWER, CHARLES RIVER. \n\n\nMACULLAR, PARKER & COMPANY. \n\nA Utopian Industrial Establishment. \n\n\nHowells's Altruria and Bellamy's Utopia are approached in the happy \nindependence of nearly a thousand working men and women in the in- \ndustry told about in these pages. And this result is gained, not by gov- \nernmental socialism or posing philanthropy, but by a wise observance of \nnatural and business laws. The heads devote their time, thought and \npolicy to providing means, materials and a market ; the hands collaborate \nby using the materials with such skill and faithfulness that the market is \nalways ready for more. The hours for work are as short and the holidays \nand half-holidays are as frequent as in any place of extensive business. The \ntwo groups — the men at the head, and the guild of handworkers — regard \neach other with mutual esteem and respect, and form a prosperous and con- \ntented industrial community. It is well 'worth while for our myriads of \nvisitors from other cities to spend an hour or two in this mercantile college, \nand see what Boston does toward solving certain vexed problems of the day. \n\nIt is well known that a large portion of the ready-made clothing worn \nin America is put together in the sweaters' shops, in crowded and filthy \ntenement-houses. The makers are half-civilized foreigners, ground down \nto the edge of starvation and illness. It is impossible here to give de- \ntails as to the unspeakable squalor of these sweat-shops, or to suggest the \ngeneral peril attendant upon wearing garments made amid such sur- \nroundings. Legislative investigations, the eloquence of many pulpits, \nthe search-lights of the public press, have revealed these dire iniquities. \n\nIn this house, however, there are no germ-factories, no haunts of \npoisonous bacteria, no sources of multiplying microbes. Here are work- \nrooms covering a tenth of an acre each, exceptional in neatness, with \npure air and bright sun-light, and populated by healthy and happy \nworkers. There is an open invitation for all persons to visit these halls \nduring business-hours ; and many avail themselves thereof, to see the \nworkings of a vast ideal industry, in the heart of a metropolis. \n\nThis establishment is in a sense a commonwealth. Its continuous \nsuccess has been largely based upon the continuous comfort and effici- \nency of its employees, quite a considerable number of whom have \nbeen at work for this firm constantly during periods ranging from ten \nto forty years. \n\n2G9 \n\n\n272 King's \"How to See Boston.'1'' \n\nThe appointments of the work-rooms as to light, air, and general \nequipment have been so perfected that it seems as if nothing need be \nadded for the comfort and content of the toilers. Nowhere is there a \ndark, obscure or unclean corner. The ventilation is ensured by the best \nprocesses, flooding the rooms continually with fresh pure air. The best \nof New-England sunlight pours in through scores of great windows. In \nsummer the rooms are cool ; in winter, abundant warmth is furnished. \nThere is an elevator to convey the people to their places of labor ; and \nplentiful facilities are given for warming their mid-day luncheons, if they \nprefer not to go outside for them. \n\nThe history of an industry like this, materially more important than \nmany of the so-called public institutions, is full of interest and suggestive- \nness. Here an army of trained men and women, large enough to make \na mediaeval guild, earns the wherewithal to comfortably support a popula- \ntion equal to that of a goodly village ; and the production of the materials \nused in their work supports other villages in England and Scotland, \nFrance and New England. This great and far-reaching business found \nits origin in inland Worcester, about the middle of the century, when two \nyoung men formed the firm of Addison Macullar & Co., for the sale of \nready-made clothing. Their fair methods and accurate perceptions soon \nwon so much success that they sought a broader field of development ; and \ntherefore removed to Boston, in 1852. Here they found an equal success; \nand the opening out of the business required several successive moves, from \nAnn St. to Milk St., and thence to the site of the old Washington Coffee- \nI louse, on Washington St., and thence to the building previously occupied \nby Warren's dry-goods emporium. Here they remained from i860 to \n1864, and then transferred this ever-growing trade to its present site, at \nNo. 400 Washington St., which it has now held for nearly a third of a cen- \ntury. By this time the firm name was Macullar, Williams & Parker, which \nin 1879, was changed to the present style of Macullar, Parker & Company. \n\nThe establishment is in the centre of the retail district, where Frank- \nlin and Summer, Bromfield and School Sts. draw their thousands of busy \nshoppers every day. The sales-rooms are each 220 feet long, so that if \nBunker-Hill Monument were taken down and laid in either of them, the \ndoors could be shut upon both ends at the same time. The street-floor of \n400 Washington St. is devoted to fine garments for men and boys, a vast \nstock, continually drawn down by the daily sales, and as often replenished \nby the newest and most fashionable styles. These garments are manu- \nfactured from choice and thoroughly tested materials, in the spacious \nwork-rooms overhead, where several hundreds of the happiest, most \n\n\n274 King's '■'■How to See Boston.\" \n\nskilful and most contented operatives in the United States are kept busy. \nThe whole work is simplified to the extreme, and as each operative being \nkept at the same kind of work all the time, the most efficient skill is \nobtained. The patrons include the better class of men of New England, \nmembers of the learned professions, visitors from other cities, and the \ncountry gentry, — in fact, those classes who cannot content themselves \nwith slop-shop garments. \n\nIt was Ralph Waldo Emerson who said that \"The consciousness of \nbeing well-dressed brings a peace of mind which revealed religion cannot \ngive.\" A saying not without value, as showing the importance of proper \nand appropriate garments. How extensive has been the sartorial range \nof development, from the light and inexpensive summer suit of fig-leaves \nworn by Adam down to the superb scarlet silk robes, with a train ten feet \nlong, in which Cardinal Gibbons swept down through the chancel of Boston \nCathedral, in May, 1S95 ! In these latter days, for an intelligent man to \nbe ill-dressed causes remark, as when an eminent statesman of the war \ntime said : \"President Lincoln's trousers may bag at the knees, but his \nstatesmanship doesn't.\" Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes, Aldrich, and \nothers to whom Boston looks up were among the most carefully clad men \nof their time (and all, excepting perhaps Lowell, were constant patrons \nof this house). And since the evolution of humanity, as well as the laws \nand the climate, compel us to wear curiously fashioned fabrics of cloth, \nit is well to drape these corporeal temples with skill and good taste. \nHere, then, we find the various articles of costume, planned on the ad- \nvanced lines of contemporary taste and fashion, constructed of the finest \nand most durable materials to be found in America or Europe, and put \ntogether with a trained mechanical skill and an observance of details \nwhich ensures unusual durability. Scores of thousands of men visit Boston \nto quicken their hearts with new and invigorated ideas of true patriotism, \nreligion and fraternity. It may be well, also, to secure a further memorial \nof this well-groomed old Puritan City, by clothing the temples in which \nthose earnest hearts dwell in habiliments of taste and strength. \n\nThoroughness and precision have prevailed in every detail for half a \ncentury. To sell an unsatisfactory garment bearing their name would be \nmore serious for them than for the purchaser. Some fabrics are better \nand costlier than others, but all are good. Figuratively speaking, but- \ntons sewed on here are as firmly anchored as the Pyramids ; seams are as \nsolid as electric-welded metals. The garments will, during years of use, \nlose their touch with fashion, or become tiresome to the wearer, but they \nalways satisfy the reasonable patron, for the work of building has been \n\n\n276 King's \" How to See Boston.'''' \n\nhonestly and well done. It may be, that the vast array of clothing in the \nwhite Corinthian halls at 400 Washington St. may not contain the exact \ncolor, or pattern, or fit to suit some special cases. In that event, there is \na great custom department, covering an equal area, and under the same \nownership, containing cloths of an almost limitless variety as to color, \ndesign and texture, to be made up on order, with the certainty of an \naccurate fit, in any desired form. \n\nThe building at 400 Washington St. went down in the Great Fire of \n1872, but its grand white-marble facade withstood the utmost fury of the \nsea of flames, and stood like a monument to the ruined city, until its \nremoval for the widening of the street. Upon the same site, the firm \nbuilt, restoring the original front, a new and extensive structure, planned \nin every way with singular care and thoughtfulness, for the purposes of a \nsafe, light, airy and commodious manufactory and sales-room for clothing. \nIt seemed as if this huge edifice would serve the utmost purposes of the \nbusiness forever ; but its good repute spread more rapidly than its plant. \n\nSuch a volume of trade poured in from all over the States and Canada, \nthat the manufacturing operations became pinched for room, and the upper \nstories of the building next to the northward were opened to relieve this \npressure. In 1884, the adjoining building was annexed for the custom \ndepartment, whose books contain the names of many of the foremost \ngentlemen of the Eastern States. At No. 400 is the men's furnishing \ngoods department, in itself a good-sized establishment. A large and fully \nequipped department for boys' clothing of high grade is conducted to the \nmanifest external improvement of thousands of junior Bostonians. \n\nAn important department is that for selling piece goods and tailors' \ntrimmings at wholesale. Travelling salesmen employed by the firm visit \nall the most important cities and towns of the Northern States, with \nsamples, and supply the wants of large numbers of the best merchant- \ntailors. The making of a full line of superior grades of white vests, \nwhich are supplied to the foremost tailors and clothiers of this country, \nhas been a specialty here for many years. \n\nThe assortment of woolen piece goods includes the finest that are \nmade the world over. The firm has an agency in London, to secure the \nbest and most fashionable English, Scotch and Continental cloths, from \nseason to season, so that the materials worn here may be the same as \nthose in contemporary favor in London and Paris. \n\nThus it is that this great house with its wide-spread ramifications, its \nmodel workshops, its honorable methods, its high-grade productions, its \nlong-established success, may well be regarded as an ideal industry. \n\n\n-J \n\n\nPECIAL OFFER \n\n\nTo the Visiting Delegates. \n\n\nE shall take pleasure in \nmaking the concession \nspecified on the other side — the \nDair of Minton tiles for seventy- \nive cents* s^!?® These are inde- \nstructible souvenirs of Boston, \nand commemorate two of the \nmost historical structures of this \ncountry.
