4 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 for months by showers of iron from the environing hills, 
 our British guests finally sailed away to Halifax ; and a 
 year or two later another of His Majesty's armies was 
 quartered about Boston. This was the rueful host of 
 Burgoyne, enveloped and crushed into captivity by the 
 assembling volunteers of New York and New England, 
 near Saratoga. These disarmed battalions included a 
 large force of Hessian mercenaries, a new element in the 
 military panorama of Massachusetts. Outside the harbor, 
 Lord Nelson cruised up and down in the Albemarle, wor- 
 rying the fishermen ; and Sir John Moore looked over 
 the blue sea upon the hostile Yankee coast. 
 
 In 1782 Boston received Rochambeau's friendly and 
 picturesque French army, the Soissonais Grenadiers, in 
 their white and pink uniforms ; the Royal Deux-Ponts 
 Regiment, in white, red and gold ; the Saintonge Regi- 
 ment, in white and blue ; the Bourbonnais, in white and 
 gold ; and Lauzun's famous Legion. At their heads of 
 columns marched Bernadotte, Berthier, Talleyrand-Peri- 
 gord, Viomenil, the Prince de Broglie and many another 
 gallant noble of France. 
 
 In 1812-' 15 new armies of volunteers lay in camp 
 along this imperilled coast ; and a third of a century 
 later the Massachusetts veterans of the Mexican War 
 returned through Boston's streets, ragged and decimated, 
 and unwelcomed. 
 
 Later came the rapid assembly of the State militia on 
 Boston Common ; the camps at Readville and Brook 
 Farm and elsewhere ; the city welcoming and cheering on 
 their way the Northern New-England regiments ; the 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 5 
 
 heroic volunteers from all Yankeeland, marching away 
 to help restore the imperilled Republic. Of these scores 
 of regiments only fragments returned, bearing their 
 tattered battle-flags, and crowned with imperishable lau- 
 rels. In like manner, the serried columns of blue 
 and steel poured southward from New York and Phila- 
 delphia, from Cincinnati and Chicago, from St. Louis 
 and St. Paul, and even from Leavenworth, and Santa 
 Fe and San Francisco ; and their gallant survivors 
 returned long years afterward, to be welcomed every- 
 where as the saviors of the Union. They had been 
 moved by the spirit of poor Philip Nolan, as he said to 
 the young naval ensign ; ' ' Re?nember, boy, that behind 
 all these men you have to do with, behind officers and Gov- 
 ernment and people, even, there is the Country Herself, 
 your Country, and that you belong to Her as you belong to 
 your own mother." 
 
 And now Massachusetts welcomes to her heart of 
 hearts the heroes who preserved the unity of the Great 
 Republic, the happiest of nations, and prevented her 
 becoming a fragment of a disintegrating Northern Con- 
 federacy. The ideas which rendered the Civil War inev- 
 itable came largely from her Puritan men, Sumner and 
 Wilson, Phillips and Garrison, and others, but it was the 
 bayonets of her sister States that made these ideas the 
 law of the land. Yet Massachusetts did not flinch from 
 bearing her part, and when the Government demanded 
 of her quotas aggregating 139,095 soldiers, she sent into 
 the field 146,730, being one of the very few States that did 
 more than was required of them. 
 
6 Boston : What to See, and Hotu to See It. 
 
 Many of the volunteers of 1861 cannot (so far as 
 earthly vision goes) see the waving banners of the glad 
 reunion of 1890. For over a quarter of a century they 
 have been at rest, on Virginia's red hills, among the cane- 
 brakes of Louisiana, or on the lonely Mississippi plains ; 
 
 " On Fame's eternal camping-ground 
 
 Their silent tents are spread, 
 And Glory guards, with solemn round, 
 
 The bivouac of the dead." 
 
 A quarter of a century ago this summer the battalions 
 of the militant grand armies — of the Potomac, the Ten- 
 nessee, the Cumberland — were for the last time hearing 
 the always welcome commands : " Right face! " "Arms 
 port!" "Break Ranks, March!" In all that flood of 
 years, no cloud has dimmed the glory of the Republic, 
 no foreign or domestic foe has menaced its prosperity. 
 And, best of all, the hundred thousand veterans now 
 quartered in Boston know that the American standard, 
 with valor and purity symbolized by its red and white 
 stripes, and the starry emblems of the States resting on 
 its blue of Heaven, is now a dear and welcome presence 
 on the plains of the Carolinas, and along the bayous of 
 the Gulf States, and over the valleys of Tennessee and 
 Arkansas and Virginia.

 WHAT TO SEE, AND HOW TO SEE IT- 
 
 ''"PHIS little book is an honestly and industriously com- 
 piled guide-book to Boston ; and anyone who ob- 
 tains a copy may depend upon all its statements, can 
 safely adhere strictly to its suggestions, and confidently 
 follow all its routes. 
 
 It is designed only for temporary use ; and that, too, 
 chiefly in conjunction with more elaborate and thorough 
 works, such as King's Handbook of Boston (200 illustra- 
 tions, 350 pages), and King's Handbook of Boston Harbor 
 {200 illustrations, 300 pages). 
 
 A glance will make evident that the plan of the book 
 has been to lay out routes for the visitor, each of which 
 may be completed, in the usual way of sight-seers, in 
 half a day. The book will serve as a guide for a week, 
 keeping the visitor moving and seeing all the time. 
 
 At times sights are mentioned in two or more routes. 
 In these cases reference should be made to the index for 
 further information about the subject in question. 
 
 This guide is planned to serve the masses of the peo- 
 ple ; and consequently the routes are always laid for 
 convenient walking, or cheap riding, such as in street- 
 car?, railroads, or other conveyances that run regularly 
 at low fares. Of course, persons employing more ex- 
 pensive modes of locomotion will find this book just as 
 useful to them.

 WHAT TO SEE, AND HOW TO SEE IT- 
 
 T N the pages following, several routes are outlined by 
 which the city can pleasantly and conveniently be 
 seen, and all points of interest along the way are indi- 
 cated, with information regarding them briefly given. 
 
 We take as a starting-point Scollay Square, — a central 
 place in the business quarter of the city, now a general 
 street-car centre, and a stand for the little two-wheeled 
 cabs known as " Herdics," which abound in Boston, and 
 are popular on account of their convenience and cheap- 
 ness. The tariff for the use of these cabs is 25 cents a 
 passenger for short trips ; and they can be engaged by 
 one person, or more, at this rate, or 75 cents an hour. 
 The carriages of the Boston Cab Co. charge 50 cents 
 each passenger, in the district between Cambridge, 
 Court, and State Streets on the north, and Berkeley and 
 Dover Streets on the south. Scollay Square is at the 
 junction of Tremont and Court Streets and Cornhill. 
 Court Street runs directly through it, one side (the west) 
 being called Tremont Row. The bronze statue at the 
 head of the square, near Tremont Street, and looking 
 down Court Street, is of Gov. Winthrop (erected Septem- 
 ber, 1880). It is by Richard S. Greenough, and is a 
 duplicate of that placed by the State in the Capitol at 
 Washington. 
 
 Near this Scollay Square are centred many of the ex- 
 press offices, — the Adams on Court Street, and the hun- 
 9

 dreds of local expresses on Court Square. At the corner 
 of Court and Tremont Streets, close by the Winthrop 
 statue, is the Hemenway Building, erected in 1884, and 
 occupied chiefly by law and other offices. It is an 
 attractive feature of commercial Boston, and stands on 
 the site of the house in which Washington lodged when 
 in Boston, in 1789. Its lower floors are occupied by the 
 grocery-store of S. S. Pierce & Co., who have been occu- 
 pants of this site for upwards of fifty years. 
 
 ROUTE No. ONE. 
 
 IN THE GENERAL BUSINESS QUARTER. 
 
 In what we term the " General Business Quarter " are 
 included most of the banking and financial institutions, 
 the business exchanges, and the great wholesale houses 
 of the wool, boot, shoe, and leather, dry-goods, and kin- 
 dred trades. The flour and grain, and other interests 
 which are congregated about or in the neighborhood of 
 the wharves, we take up in Route No. Two, "Along the 
 "Water-Front." 
 
 We approach the general business quarter from Scollay 
 Square, through Court Street into State, the financial 
 centre of the city. On Court Street we pass the County 
 Court House (erected in 1836), — a sombre granite struc- 
 ture, with its Doric front and ponderous columns of 
 granite, — standing on the right, between the short 
 streets on either side, which, with the open space in the 
 rear of the Court House, are known as Court Square. 
 The new County Court House, now being built, looks 
 
Boston : J]' hat to See, and How to See It. II 
 
 down into Scollay Square from Pemberton Square, on 
 the West. 
 
 The fine highly ornamented stone building next beyond 
 the Court House, occupying the easterly corner of Court 
 Street and Square, is the addition of Young's Hotel 
 (European plan), which includes the ladies' dining-room 
 on the first or street floor, — one of the most sumptuous 
 public dining-rooms in the city, decorated elaborately 
 and most artistically, and elegantly furnished and 
 adorned. Here, on Court Street, is the ladies' entrance 
 to the hotel. The structure extends back through Court 
 Square, and fronts on a court directly in the rear of 
 Rogers Building on Washington Street (No. 209), to 
 which there are entrances from Washington Street on 
 either side of Rogers Building. 
 
 At the corner of Court and Washington Streets, are 
 two lofty buildings for banks and offices. The one ad- 
 joining Young's Hotel belongs to J. Montgomery Sears, 
 and replaces the famous Sears Building, which was 
 burnt Feb. 2, 1890. The gray granite building across 
 Court Street, was erected for Frederick L. Ames, after 
 designs by H. H. Richardson. 
 
 Before beginning the walk down State Street, a quar- 
 ter of an hour or more may be agreeably and profitably 
 spent within the Old State House (built in 1748), the his- 
 toric edifice standing at the head of the street, with a 
 front on Washington Street. This building is now re- 
 stored, in large part, above the first story, to the appear- 
 ance it bore during the Provincial period, when it was 
 the official head-quarters of the royal governors and the 
 
12 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Provincial Council. In the famous council-chamber and 
 the other rooms on the second floor, which have been 
 faithfully restored, is an historic museum of much in- 
 terest and value, including many relics of the Colonial 
 and Revolutionary eras. The exhibition is free to the 
 public, and is open every day except holidays and Sun- 
 days. The gorgeous gilt eagle on the Washington-Street 
 front was placed there after the restoration of the build- 
 ing, to appease those citizens who complained at the re- 
 placing of the emblems of royalty on the west front. 
 The originals were torn down, and, with other "Tory 
 signs," were burnt in a bonfire in the square in State 
 Street, in front of the Old State House, after the Declara- 
 tion of Independence. 
 
 In the basement of the Old State House are the head- 
 quarters of the Mutual District Messenger Company, 
 from which uniformed messenger boys are sent out on 
 call, day and night, for all kinds of errand service. 
 They can be called from any part of the city by tele- 
 phone, or by the special electric calls of the company, 
 which are to be found in the leading hotels and many other 
 public places of the city, and business houses. A fixed 
 tariff is established for their services. Brazer's Building 
 fronts on State Street, and occupies what is believed to 
 be the site, or very near to if, of the first meeting-house 
 in Boston, built in 1632 ; and next beyond, on State 
 Street, at the corner of Congress Street, is the office of 
 The Evening Traveller, a popular evening newspaper, of 
 pronounced Republican proclivities. 
 
 In this part of State Street, then King Street, occurred 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 13 
 
 the "Boston Massacre," on March 5, 1770. Five per- 
 sons out of a crowd of citizens who got into an alterca- 
 tion with the guard of British soldiers called to the relief 
 of a sentinel, threatened by them (who stood on the steps 
 of the Custom House, then occupying the corner of State 
 and Exchange Streets), were killed in this affair. They 
 were buried with great solemnity and parade in the Old 
 Granary Burying-ground on Tremont Street (see Retail 
 Quarter, Route No. Two). The town was thrown into deep 
 excitement by this occurrence : and the next day, after 
 large town-meetings, the immediate removal of the troops 
 to the Castle (where Fort Independence now stands) was 
 demanded, and the demand complied with. 
 
 Just off from State Street, in Adams Square, which is 
 reached from the north side of State Street through Ex- 
 change Street, is the bronze statue of Samuel Adams 
 (unveiled July 5, 1880), representing the patriot as he is 
 supposed to have appeared just after he had made the 
 demand upon Hutchinson and his council for the removal 
 of the troops forthwith (referred to in the preceding 
 paragraph), and while awaiting the answer. The statue 
 is the work of Anne Whitney. The inscriptions upon it 
 were written by Mr. Prince, mayor of the city when it 
 was erected. 
 
 A few steps from Adams Square, and through the rem- 
 nant of old Dock Square, bring us to Faneuil Hall, the 
 " Cradle of Liberty" (built in 1762, succeeding the first 
 Faneuil Hall, partly destroyed by fire in 1761, much en- 
 larged in 1805.) We approach it at the rear, and, pass- 
 ing around through Faneuil-Hall Square to the front, we 
 
14 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 enter the building, and reach the hall by a long flight of 
 steps. The most interesting features of the hall are the 
 generous platform from which so many famous orators 
 have spoken, and the historic paintings and portraits on 
 the walls. The largest canvas is by Healy, and repre- 
 sents the scene in the old United-States Senate chamber 
 on the occasion of Webster's celebrated reply to Hayne. 
 The larger number of the portraits hung in this hall are 
 copies, the originals being deposited in the Art Museum 
 for safe keeping. The floor of Faneuil Hall, it will be 
 observed, is without seats ; though the broad galleries are 
 well supplied with settees. By this arrangement large 
 masses of people are accommodated at public meetings. 
 Above the hall is the Ancient and Honorable Artillery 
 Company's armory, which contains an interesting museum 
 of Colonial and Revolutionary relics. The company is 
 the oldest military organization in America, having been 
 organized in 1088, when it became the school of war in 
 the colony. Many of its members are officers or veterans 
 of the militia or volunteers, and they march in the an- 
 nual parade in the uniforms of their respective com- 
 mands, making very odd, diversified and picturesque 
 company-fronts. 
 
 The long granite market-house, whose main entrance 
 is opposite the front of Faneuil Hall, and which occupies 
 the space between South and North Market Streets, is 
 officially called Faneuil-Hall Market, but is popularly 
 known as Quincy Market (built 1825-26). It covers 
 27,000 feet of land, and is 535 feet long, and two stories 
 high. The centre part rises to the height of 77 feet, and 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 15 
 
 is ornamented by a graceful dome. The height of the 
 wings on either side of the central part is 30 feet. The 
 stone columns on the porticos at either end of the build- 
 ing are each solid shafts of Quincy granite. The stalls 
 are large, well arranged, and well kept, and the market 
 house is well worth visiting. 
 
 On the floor above, occupying the hall directly under 
 the dome, is the Boston Chamber of Commerce. 
 
 Merchants' Row leads through a part of the fruit and 
 provision district, from Faneuil Hall to State Street, 
 which it reaches opposite the immensely tall Fiske 
 Building, whose black pyramidal roof covers scores of 
 offices and corporation headquarters. A favorite route 
 for foot-passers, between Faneuil Hall and State Street, 
 is the narrow and busy little Change Avenue, one of the 
 odd short cuts for which old Boston used to be famous. 
 A little tunnel through the brick buildings on one side of 
 Change Avenue leads into Corn Court, opposite the most 
 ancient tavern in Boston, with its quaint brick front, and 
 swinging sign embellished with John Hancock's portrait. 
 It is now called the Hancock House, but in the far-gone 
 days of 1795, when Talleyrand (afterwards prime-minis- 
 ter of France) boarded there, it was known as the Brasier 
 Inn. On about the same site Samuel Cole opened the 
 first hotel in Boston, in 1634, where the painted Narra- 
 gansett warriors who came to Boston in the retinue of 
 Miantonomoh were feasted by the order of Governor Sir 
 Harry Vane. 
 
 Change Avenue enters State Street near the site of the 
 old pillory and whipping-post, which were in use as late 
 
1 6 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 as the early years of this century. The eastern corner 
 of State Street and Change Avenue was the site of the 
 old Custom House, where Gen. Lincoln and Gen. 
 Dearborn ruled as collectors of the port. 
 
 Opposite the end of Change Avenue are the slowly ris- 
 ing walls of the new State-Street Exchange, now in pro- 
 cess of construction, upon the site of the old Merchants 
 Exchange, and the Washington, City, New-England and 
 Columbian Banks. The immense structure covers an 
 area of 33,250 square feet. It has a frontage on State 
 Street of 170 feet, on Kilby Street of 160 feet, and on 
 Exchange Place of 53 feet. It will be twelve stories 
 high, the largest office building in America, excepting the 
 Equitable Building in New York. The Stock Exchange 
 will occupy quarters on the Exchange-Place front, ar- 
 ranged particularly for the purpose. The American 
 Loan and Trust Company and other banking institutions 
 will occupy the State-Street front ; while in the base- 
 ment will be provided the finest safe-deposit vaults in the 
 country. The upper part of the building is for corpora- 
 tions, lawyers, brokers and merchants. There are about 
 400 offices. The total cost of the land and building will 
 be $4,000,000. The architects are Messrs. Peabody & 
 Stearns. The contractors are Messrs. Norcross Bros. 
 Work was begun May 1st, 1889, and the building will be 
 ready for occupancy June 1st, 1891. The State-Street 
 Exchange is a corporation, having obtained a charter in 
 1888. The directors are Samuel Wells (President), T. 
 Jefferson Coolidge, Francis Hunnewell, James Jackson, 
 and C. E. Cotting. The project was conceived and carried 
 
Boston : What to See, and Hoiv to See It. 1 7 
 
 out by Alexander S. Porter, who purchased the land, 
 raised the entire capital, and arranged the syndicate. 
 It was a cash transaction, there being no mortgage debt 
 incurred, and stands as the largest operation in real estate 
 ever recorded in Boston. 
 
 The Massachusetts Hospital Life-Insurance Company 
 ( chartered in 1818 ) occupies a great and lofty brick- 
 and-brownstone edifice on State Street, designed for 
 banks, insurance-offices, and other office uses. 
 
 The Clearing- House ( established in 1856), where the 
 messengers and "settling-clerks" of the several banks in 
 the association ( which includes all the national banks 
 in the city ), meet every forenoon at 10 o'clock on busi- 
 ness-days, and settle the drafts and checks between the 
 several banks, is at No. 66 State Street, nearly oppo- 
 site Kilby Street. 
 
 At No. 109 is the main office of the Western Union 
 Telegraph Company ; and the rooms of the " Associated 
 Press " are at No. 4 State Street. 
 
 Passing from State through Congress Street, by rows of 
 splendid business-blocks on either side, — notably the 
 Tremont-Bank Building on the corner of State Street. — 
 we come into Post-Office Square, upon which fronts the 
 great granite government building occupied by the 
 United-States Post-Office, Sub-Treasury, Internal Rev- 
 enue, United-States Courts, etc. The buildings on this 
 square are fine specimens of the modern business struc- 
 ture, designed both for architectural effect and utility. 
 
 The block on the south side of the square has been 
 called the handsomest in New England. The stately

 white-marble building, with its majestic clock-tower, is 
 the building of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of 
 New York, the largest corporation in the world ; and the 
 fine granite structure adjoining, occupying the corner of 
 Congress Street, is the property of the New-England 
 Mutual Life Company, the foremost life-insurance 
 organization in this State. From the gilded balcony on 
 the tower of the former a superb view of the city and 
 harbor can be obtained. The balcony is 198 feet above 
 the sidewalk ; and the total height of the tower, the 
 gilded crests and the iron flagstaff, is 234 feet. In the 
 New-England Mutual Life Building are the massive 
 vaults of the Boston Safe-Deposit and Trust Company, 
 which will prove interesting to every visitor. A few 
 steps above, on Milk Street, corner of Devonshire, is the 
 great insurance building (erected in 1873) of the Equi- 
 table Life Assurance Company of New York. It is a 
 granite structure, and, like the others, fire-proof through- 
 out. All of these three insurance offices are elegantly 
 fitted up. In the basement of this building are the 
 extensive fire and burglar-proof vaults, and the gorgeous 
 reading-room, of the Security Safe-Deposit Company. 
 From the roof, which can be reached in the three fine 
 elevators, a grand view is to be had. The Mutual Life 
 Building cost $900,000 ; the New-England Building, 
 $1,000,000 ; and the Equitable Building (with its great 
 extension, added in 1885-86 ) cost more than either of 
 the others. On its site stood the home of Robert Treat 
 Paine, one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde- 
 pendence.

 The portion of the Post-Office building fronting on 
 Post-Office Square is the newest, and was finished in 
 1884. In this new part are the United-States Court rooms, 
 and the Signal-service offices are overhead, with the great 
 time-ball that drops at noon daily. The Post-Office opens 
 also on Water. Devonshire and Milk Streets. The Sub- 
 Treasury is on the second floor. The cost of the entire 
 property has been over $5,000,000. The corner-sione was 
 laid October 16, 1871, when the first part of the struc- 
 ture was nearly finished to the top of the street story. 
 There was a great street parade on the occasion of this 
 ceremony. The building was damaged in the great fire 
 of 1872 to the extent of about $175,000. The marks of the 
 fire can yet be seen on the Milk-Street side, opposite Fed- 
 eral Street. The material of which the building is con- 
 structed is Cape-Ann granite. 
 
 From the east side of Post-Office Square, down Milk 
 Street, we soon come to Kilby Street, on our left, through 
 which we can reach Liberty Square. Here, occupying 
 the lot bounded by Milk and Kilby Streets and the 
 square, presenting a rounding front on the latter, and 
 with a peculiar dome-like roof, is the immense business 
 structure, solid and substantial in build, known as the 
 Mason Building, occupied by banks and offices. On 
 the north side of Kilby Street, near Milk Street, is a 
 general office for suburban expressmen. 
 
 Retracing our steps, and, perhaps, walking around the 
 Mason Building, from Milk Street, nearly opposite the 
 Milk-Street end of the great building, we enter Oliver 
 Street, through which we may walk to Fort-Hill Square.

 Here used to stand Fort Hill, one of the three great hills 
 of "Treamount, " and fifty years and more ago the 
 "court end" (or one of the court ends ) of the town. 
 The work of cutting down the hill was begun in 1869, 
 and it was not entirely completed when the " Great Fire " 
 occurred. A hundred feet or more above the present cir- 
 cular grass-plat of Fort-Hill Square was the park which 
 used to crown the summit of the hill. In the early days 
 the top of the hill was occupied by fortifications ; and 
 within the fort here, in 1689, Sir Edmund Andros sought 
 shelter, and was subsequently forced to surrender to the 
 incensed colonists, whose rights he had usurped. On 
 the east side of the square one may take a look into one 
 of Boston's model fire-engine houses. 
 
 From here High Street sweeps around to Summer ; 
 and in it and the cross-streets between it and Milk Street 
 — Pearl, Congress and Federal — are mostly centered 
 the great wool, boot, shoe, and leather, wholesale dry- 
 goods, and paper trades. The wool district is largely in 
 High, Pearl and Federal Streets. The boot, shoe and 
 leather trade also occupies portions of High and Pearl 
 Streets, and also Purchase Street, the lower portion of 
 Summer, part of Lincoln, Bedford and Kingston Streets. 
 The wholesale dry-goods houses are mostly to be found 
 in Devonshire, from Milk Street to Winthrop Square, 
 Franklin, Otis, Summer and the lateral streets ; and the 
 paper trade centers largely in Federal Street and its 
 vicinity. In this neighborhood also, on Franklin Street, 
 are some of the largest and most extensive wholesale 
 crockery establishments of the city. 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 23 
 
 The building on the corner of Franklin and Devon- 
 shire Streets, at the entrance to Winthrop Square, 
 known as the Cathedral Building, stands on the site of 
 the first Cathedral of the Holy Cross, and the first 
 Catholic Cathedral in Boston. It is the property of 
 Boston University. In 1881 it was wholly destroyed by 
 fire, during its occupancy by the firm of Houghton, Os- 
 good & Co. A large part of the portion of the city we 
 have been examining was included in the "Burnt Dis- 
 trict," and it has been rebuilt since the fire of 1872. 
 That fire began on Summer Street, at the corner of 
 Kingston ; and it raged the hottest in Milk, Pearl, Con- 
 gress, and Federal Streets, Winthrop Square, Devon- 
 shire and Franklin Streets, eating its way through 
 towards State Street on one side, and Washington, 
 between Milk and Summer, on the other. The loss of 
 property amounted to $75,000,000. The rebuilt " Burn* 
 District," as the stranger will observe as he passes 
 through it, now contains a great variety of imposing build- 
 ings, some of them fine specimens of our modern architec- 
 ture. It is called one of the finest of the many fine busi- 
 ness sections of American cities. 
 
 We can pass out of this " General Business Quarter " 
 into the " Retail Quarter, " from Bedford Street, which 
 we enter from High, crossing Summer Street. This dis- 
 trict was burned over in the Thanksgiving-Day fire, in 
 1889, involving a loss of nearly $6,000,000, and sweeping 
 off entire blocks of wholesale stores and warehouses, 
 piled full of rich and costly goods. The gigantic task of 
 replacing these buildings is progressing as rapidly as 
 
24 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 possible, by the labor of busy throngs of masons and 
 carpenters. The former building of the Charitable 
 Mechanic Association, on the corner of Bedford and 
 Chauncy Streets, is occupied by business concerns, and 
 by the Boston Merchants' Association (organized 1876, 
 incorporated 1880 ), — a social and business organization 
 combined, maintaining commodious and inviting rooms 
 in which visitors of distinction are occasionally enter- 
 tained at banquets. The fine new buildings in this 
 neighborhood are especially worth attention. 
 
 A short distance down Kingston Street brings us to the 
 United-States Hotel, on Beach Street, occupying the 
 block bounded by Lincoln and Kingston Streets. This is 
 one of the oldest hotels in the city ( established 1826 ). 
 Street-cars pass the door, connecting with the several rail- 
 way lines running to the various parts of the city and 
 suburbs. 
 
 Instead of passing out into the "Retail Quarter," it 
 might be worth while to retrace our steps somewhat, 
 returning through Chauncy Street, crossing Summer, 
 through Otis or Devonshire Street into Winthrop Square, 
 thence through Devonshire to State Street and the Old 
 State House, and then across Washington and through 
 Court Street back again to Scollay Square. 
 
 On Devonshire Street, near the Post-Office, several 
 financial institutions will be noticed, among them the 
 attractive Rialto Building, on the corner of Devonshire 
 and Water Streets, and the handsome private banking- 
 house of Kidder, Peabody & Co. 
 
 The financial district of the city is now included 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 25 
 
 within the boundary-limits of Washington, State, Broad, 
 and Milk Streets. Here are most of the leading banks 
 and banking-houses, the brokers' quarter, and the insur- 
 ance agencies. 
 
 ROUTE No. TWO. 
 
 IN THE RETAIL QUARTER. 
 
 Within the " Retail Quarter" are the great retail dry- 
 goods houses, nearly all the theatres, the daily newspaper 
 offices ( with the single exception of that of the Traveller), 
 the leading bookstores, the city buildings, several of the 
 most prominent hotels, and some of the famous old land- 
 marks. In general terms, it may be said to include the 
 territory between the "General Business Quarter," 
 which we have just visited, on the east, and the Common, 
 Beacon Hill, and Bowdoin Square, on the west. In 
 some parts it extends beyond these limits. It is expand- 
 ing constantly, making its way up Beacon Hill, and into 
 the residence quarters at the West End on one side of the 
 town, and the South End on another. 
 
 The two chief thoroughfares are Washington and Tre- 
 mont Streets, though no less important are several of the 
 short streets between them, notably School Street, Winter 
 Street, Temple Place, and West Street. Winter Street 
 and Temple Place are especially known as " the ladies' 
 streets," from the fact that they are daily crowded with 
 shoppers, and the shops largely cater to women's trade. 
 
 This is one of the most attractive quarters on pleasant 
 afternoons in the "shopping-seasons," when the walks 
 are thronged. 
 
26 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Starting from Scollay Square, we pass up Tremont 
 Street. First we notice on our left the Boston Museum, 
 the oldest existing theatre in the city (established 1841 ; 
 present building erected 1846), which has long been fam- 
 ous on account of the performances of its always excel- 
 lent stock companies. Its interior is bright and inviting. 
 Its exterior is rendered conspicuous at night by the long 
 rows of brilliant gaslights. 
 
 The granite building next beyond, Nos. 30 and 32, is 
 occupied by the Massachusetts Historical Society and 
 the Suffolk-County Probate Office. The Massachusetts 
 is the oldest historical society in the country (founded 
 1791 ; present site first occupied in 1833 ; structure re- 
 built a few years ago). Its collection is rich and most 
 interesting, comprising, besides its valuable library, a lot 
 of rare relics, paintings, busts, and unique curiosities. 
 The entrance to the Probate Office is at No. 32. The 
 building extends through to Court Square, on which 
 there is another entrance, leading directly to the office 
 and rooms of the Registry of Deeds. 
 
 Now we come to one of the cherished old landmarks, — 
 the King's-Chapel Burying-ground. This is the oldest of 
 the several ancient burial-places of Boston. The exact 
 date of its establishment is not known, but it is supposed 
 that the first burial in it was in 1630. Here are the graves 
 of Govs. Winthrop, Leverett, and Shirley ; John Cotton, 
 John Davenport, and other early ministers of Boston; Lady 
 Andros, and others eminent among the earlier settlers. 
 
 King's Chapel, the picturesque stone structure on the 
 corner of Tremont and School Streets, was the first Epis- 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 27 
 
 copal church in Boston, and afterwards became the first 
 Unitarian. The first chapel was erected here in 1689. 
 In 1710 this was enlarged. In 1749 the corner-stone of 
 the present building was laid, and in 1753-54 it was com- 
 pleted. The interior of the church is quaint and strik- 
 ing. 
 
 A few steps down School Street is the main entrance 
 to the Parker House, — the fine marble-front structure 
 which stands at the corner of Tremont Street. This is 
 one of the most popular Boston hotels (established in 
 1855; European plan). The corner, was completed only 
 in 1885. On its site stood the old home of Edward E. 
 Hale, and later occupied by T. O. H. P. Burnham and 
 his "antique bookstore," with perhaps half a million 
 books. Nearly opposite, at the corner of Beacon and 
 Tremont Streets, is the lofty new Albion Building. 
 
 The granite-front building, the conspicuous feature of 
 which is the massive stone portico in the Grecian Doric 
 style, on the west side of Tremont Street, corner of Bea- 
 con (apparently a continuation of School Street), is the 
 Tremont House, another of the older and famous hotels 
 (begun in 1828, completed and opened in 1829). 
 
 The second oldest burial-place, another cherished 
 landmark, is the Granary Burying-ground, just beyond 
 the Tremont House. This was established in 1660, 
 when the Old North Burying-ground on Copp's Hill (to 
 be referred to along the route in the North End) was 
 also established, the Granary Burying-ground being 
 called sometimes the South, as well as the Granary. 
 The tablets on the gates give the names of some of the

 eminent persons buried here. The monument over the 
 graves of the parents of Franklin can be seen from the 
 sidewalk. Much interesting information about this and 
 the other ancient burial-places in the city is given in 
 King's Handbook of Boston. 
 
 The old-fashioned church-building next beyond the 
 Granary Burying-ground, occupying the corner of Tre- 
 mont and Park Streets, is the Park-Street Church (built 
 1809 ; Congregational Trinitarian). It stands where once 
 stood the Granary, which gave the burying-ground its 
 most popular name. One of the earlier pastors of this 
 church was Rev. Dr. Edward Beecher. Later, for 
 several years, Rev. W. H. H. Murray was the pastor. 
 The present pastor is Rev. David M. Gregg. 
 
 The building opposite the Tremont House, on the east 
 side of Tremont Street, is the Tremont Temple, in which 
 are the head-quarters of the Baptists. Tremont Temple 
 itself is one of the largest and finest halls in the city. 
 Below it, in the same building, is a smaller hall, known 
 as "The Meionaon." Tremont Temple stands on the 
 site of the Tremont Theater, one of the earlier and best 
 of the Boston playhouses, which flourished from 1827 to 
 1843. Here the late Charlotte Cushman made her debut, 
 April 8, 1835. The site was purchased by the Baptists, 
 who built the first Tremont Temple for a place of wor- 
 ship. The present is the third Tremont-Temple build- 
 ing on this site. The previous buildings were both 
 destroyed by fire. The Temple organ is of great power 
 and exceeding beauty. The Baptist church worshipping 
 here is known as " The Strangers' Sabbath Home," and

 has numbered Justin D. Fulton and George C. Lorimer 
 among its pastors. The present incumbent is the Rev. 
 Emory J. Haynes, an eloquent extempore orator. The 
 chorus-singing in the Temple is famed for its excellence 
 and effectiveness. 
 
 The granite building, extending from Bosworth Street 
 to Bromfield Street, is that of the Massachusetts Hor- 
 ticultural Society. There are two fine halls within 
 it. The figure surmounting the central division of the 
 facade represents "Ceres," and those on the north 
 and south buttresses of the second-story front, " Flora " 
 and "Pomona." These are the work of Martin Mil- 
 more. 
 
 Frequently, during the year, there are wonderful dis- 
 plays here of roses, chrysanthemums, rhododendrons and 
 other beautiful flowers, reared by the skill and patience 
 of the gentry and gardeners of Massachusetts, in the face 
 of manifold disadvantages of soil and climate. Across 
 Bromfield Street stands the Studio Building, occupied 
 by the rooms of several well-known New-England artists, 
 many others of whom have their studios in the vicinity 
 of the Common. 
 
 Park Street leads from Tremont Street up the slope of 
 Beacon Hill to the State House, with the beautiful Park- 
 Street Mall of Boston Common on the left. Here we 
 find the art galleries of Doll & Richards, at No. 2, with 
 the Hawthorne Rooms overhead ; the Boston book-rooms 
 of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., at No. 4 ; the rooms of the 
 New-England Woman's Club and of the Woman s Jour- 
 nal, at No. 3 ; and the interesting exhibits in art, science 
 
32 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 and literature, made by the Prang Educational Com- 
 pany, at No. 7. 
 
 At No. 8 Park Street is the house (formerly the home 
 of the Hon. Abbott Lawrence) of the Union Club, which 
 was formed in 1863 in support of the cause of the Union. 
 Everett, Sumner, Andrew, Hoar, Dana, Rice, Gray and 
 other active Massachusetts patriots spent much of their 
 time here, planning to keep the regiments at the front effi- 
 cient and with full ranks. The great house at the corner of 
 Park and Beacon Streets, was built in the last century,, 
 by Thomas Amory, and became the home of Gov. Chris- 
 topher Gore, the artist Malbone, Secretary Samuel Dex- 
 ter, and George Ticknor, the historian of Spanish litera- 
 ture. The Marquis de Lafayette dwelt here, while the 
 guest of the city of Boston, in 1824. The building is now 
 used for offices and shops ; and contains the head-quarters 
 of the Appalachian Mountain Club, whose 800 members 
 explore and map and describe the highlands of America 
 and Europe. 
 
 Boston Common, the most famous of American parks, is 
 a noble expanse of 48 acres of green turf and tall forest- 
 trees, in the very heart of the Puritan City, and acces- 
 sible from all quarters. From the first settlement of 
 the town it was preserved as a domain belonging to the 
 people in common, and its chief use was for grazing 
 cattle, except on the days when the colonial train-bands 
 were mustered here. In the most ancient times there 
 ■were but three trees on the Common, but in 1722 the 
 apprentices of Colson, the Frog-Lane (Boylston-Street) 
 leather-dresser, began the planting of the outer line 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 33 
 
 of trees along Tremont Street. The other two lines 
 along this front were planted before the Revolution, and 
 thus arose the famous Great Mall, most of whose trees 
 were cut down by the British troops encamped on 
 the Common in 1775, part of them for fuel, and many 
 others, on the day of evacuation, out of malice. 
 
 The overarched path, paved with asphalt tiles, lead- 
 ing from the West-Street gate to Park Square, has for 
 over a century borne the name of the Ridge Path, and 
 overlooks part of the parade-ground, where the Massa- 
 chusetts regiments were reviewed before their departure 
 for the war. and where the State militia is exercised and 
 reviewed every year. The narrower track running from 
 Park Square to the State House is the Long Path, 
 immortalized in Holmes's Autocrat of the Breakfast 
 Table, and passing near the Frog Pond. On Flagstaff 
 Hill, over the parade-ground, rises the magnificent Army 
 and Navy Monument, built in 1871-77, at a cost of $75,- 
 000. It is a lofty decorated Doric column of white 
 Maine granite, crowned by a colossal bronze statue repre- 
 senting the Genius of America. Near the base are 
 bronze statues of History, Peace, the Soldier and the 
 Sailor ( the latter is very good ), and bronze bas-reliefs, 
 showing the Departure of the Regiment, the Sanitary 
 Commission, the Naval Battle, and the Return from the 
 War. The first bas-relief contains portraits of Andrew, 
 Longfellow, Wendell Phillips, Gen. Butler, Phillips 
 Brooks and Archbishop Williams. The Sanitary-Com- 
 mission relief shows Lowell, Ticknor, E. E. Hale, Gov. 
 Rice, W. W. Clapp and others. The Return relief con-

 tains Andrew, Sumner, Wilson, Shurtleff and Clafiin, 
 and Gens. Banks, Devens, Butler and Underwood, on 
 horseback. The inscription was written by President 
 Eliot, of Harvard University, and is as follows : 
 
 to the men of boston who died for their country 
 on land and sea, in the war which kept the union 
 whole, destroyed slavery, and maintained the 
 Constitution, the grateful city has built this 
 monument, that their example may speak to com- 
 ing generations. 
 
 Returning to Tremont Street, the Mall of the Common 
 makes an agreeable walk ; and we notice St. Paul's 
 Church, an Ionic building, dating from 1820, and per- 
 taining to the Episcopalians. The upper part of the 
 next building was the United-States Court-house, and 
 previously the Masonic Temple. In the row of buildings 
 from West to Boylston Street, are the head-quarters of 
 many famous p ; ano companies, wherefore this line is 
 commonly called "Piano Row." At Boylston Street is 
 the Masonic Temple, seven stories high, with octagonal 
 towers rising 120 feet, and interior halls — Egyptian, 
 Corinthian, etc. — cf great splendor. Note the handsome 
 pillars, Jachin and Boaz, at the sides of the main en- 
 trance. 
 
 The large building on the south-east corner of Tremont 
 and Boylston Streets is the Hotel Boylston, and that on 
 the south-west corner the Hotel Pelham, both apartment 
 houses. Adjoining the Pelham are the "Pelham Stu- 
 dios" and the Household Art Rooms, the latter being the

 first to be established in the city. Just beyond rises the 
 great brick building of the Boston Public Library, the 
 largest public library in the world. It has 550,000 vol- 
 umes, with numerous branches and deliveries in different 
 parts of the city. All departments of the library are 
 open every day, except Sundays and holidays ; and the 
 reading-room and the magnificent Bates Hall are also 
 open evenings and Sundays. The rooms may be freely 
 visited, and anyone may consult books in the halls. 
 Here are fine portrait-busts of Motley, Ticknor, Apple- 
 ton, Whittier, Theodore Parker, and other great men ; 
 Copley's most famous painting, "Charles I. Demanding 
 the Surrender of the Five Members of Parliament" 
 (over the delivery desk in Bates Hall) ; and large pic- 
 tures of the outer fronts and interior of the new building 
 now under construction on Copley Square, for the Pub- 
 lic Library. This edifice will have cost above $2, 000, 000. 
 
 A few doors beyond the Public Library is the house of 
 the Central Club ; and down in the quaint little Boylston 
 Place is the attractive home of the Tavern Club, fre- 
 quented by artists, musicians and authors. 
 
 Returning towards Tremont, along the Boylston-Street 
 mall of the Common, observing on our left the Common 
 or Central Burying-ground, an old and now abandoned 
 burial-place (established in 1756), we may turn into Tre- 
 mont Street, and take a look first at No. 211 Tremont 
 Street, where, in a great white granite building, is the pub- 
 lishing house of Ticknor & Co., which was founded in 
 1832, and afterwards became famous under the title of 
 Ticknor & Fields; and then back into Boylston Street, 
 
PARK AND GLOBE THEATRES. 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 37 
 
 through which we pass to Washington Street. On Boylston 
 Street, on the right, is the building of the Young Men's 
 Christian Union, with its tower and clock on the outside, 
 and its many pleasant rooms inside ; and, on the corner 
 of Washington and Boylston Streets, the quaint Boylston 
 Market, built in 1809, stood until the year 1887. 
 
 As we turn into Washington Street, a tablet with a 
 representation of a spreading tree will be observed on 
 the front of the building on the east side of Washington 
 Street, at the corner of Essex Street. This marks the 
 spot where the famous " Liberty Tree" stood, under the 
 boughs of which the " Sons of Liberty" were organized 
 in 1765, and many stirring gatherings were held in the 
 days just preceding the Revolution. A block or so down 
 Essex Street leads to the Chinese quarter, occupying 
 Harrison Avenue from Essex to Kneeland Street. We 
 turn into Washington Street towards the north at our 
 left hand. A few doors from Boylston Street, on the 
 west side of Washington, is the Park Theatre ; nearly 
 opposite, on the east side, is the Globe Theatre. At No. 
 597, west side, is the office of the Pilot, a Catholic news- 
 paper, edited by John Boyle O'Reilly, the Irish poet 
 and literarian. Farther along, in the bend of the street, 
 is the imposing new Adams House, and the Boston The- 
 atre, the largest and most magnificent theatre in the 
 country. This block along Washington Street is the 
 theatre district of the city, and presents a very brilliant 
 appearance at evening, or just after matinees.

 foremost attractions in the way of tragedy, comedy and 
 opera. Close to this district, but entered from Tremont 
 Street, is the new and beautiful Tremont Theatre, the 
 latest accession to the local play-houses, richly and 
 artistically decorated, and practically fire-proof. 
 
 The retail stores occupy Washington Street for a long 
 distance in each direction, and the sidewalks are thronged 
 by busy and anxious crowds of shoppers. All of Eastern 
 New England finds its way hither, at various times in 
 the year, to replenish its outworn clothing and jewelry, 
 books and music, and a thousand other needed articles. 
 
 Looking up West Street as we pass down Washington 
 Street, we see rows of stores, in the midst of which, 
 opposite the head of Mason Street (by which the rear 
 or "carriage" entrance of the Boston Theatre is 
 reached) is the house of the Temple Club, the oldest 
 association of its class owning a house in Boston. The 
 club dates from 1829, and has a complete equipment of 
 reading and recreation rooms. In this vicinity is 
 the Universalist Publishing House, the head-quarters 
 of that denomination in New England. A few steps 
 to the westward leads to the Common, close by the 
 abominable Coggswell Fountain. To the left appears 
 the monument to Crispus Attucks and other victims of 
 the Boston Massacre, with its energetic bronze statue 
 and elaborate historical bas-reliefs. 
 
 Temple Place, like West Street, is crowded with retail 
 stores. Here, also, is the office of the Youth's Compan- 
 ion, one of the widest and best known of juvenile week- 
 lies. On the opposite side of the street is the Provident 
 
40 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Institution for Savings, the first savings-bank established 
 in the country, chartered in 1816, and containing depos- 
 its amounting to over $30,000,000. 
 
 Winter Street, next beyond Temple Place, is especi- 
 ally noted for its dry-goods and other establishments for 
 women's trade. In this little thoroughfare, any pleasant 
 afternoon, may be seen hundreds of pretty women, the 
 flower of New England, engaged in the supererogatory 
 task of heightening their attractiveness by selecting and 
 planning charming apparel. 
 
 From Winter Street on the north side is also the 
 entrance to the famous Music Hall, wherein are given 
 some of the finest orchestral and other concerts, during 
 the musical season, and in which the great oratorios are 
 performed at intervals during the winter and spring sea- 
 sons by the Handel and Haydn Society of the city. 
 Below Music Hall is Bumstead Hall, arranged in amphi- 
 theatre fashion. Opposite this entrance is Winter Place ; 
 through this, and a narrow arched passageway at its end, 
 access is had to Temple Place from Winter Street. 
 
 Opposite and continuous with Winter Street, Summer 
 Street runs off through the district of wholesale trade, to 
 the harbor and the New- York & New-England station. 
 A few steps farther north on Washington Street the 
 beautiful white-marble structure, at No. 400 Washington 
 Street, and the adjoining building, No. 398, comprise 
 the men's and boys' clothing and tailoring establishment 
 of Macullar, Parker & Company. These buildings, 
 extending through to Hawley Street, with their six hun- 
 dred employees, should be visited. On the west side of 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 41 
 
 Washington, at Xo. 419, on an upper floor, are the 
 rooms of the Paint and Clay Club, composed of artists 
 and professional men. At Xo. 4 Bromfield Street, just 
 off Washington Street, is the Saturday Evening Gazette 
 (published Sunday morning), one of the oldest papers in 
 the city Farther along on Bromfield Street are the 
 Methodist head-quarters, at Xo. 36, in Wesleyan Build- 
 ing, adjoining which is the Bromfield-Street Methodist 
 Church. D. Lothrop's publishing house is at Xo. 364 
 Washington Street. 
 
 In this immediate neighborhood, on the east side of the 
 street, is the office of the Transcript, the oldest daily 
 evening paper in the city. The Transcript Building 
 occupies the corner of Milk Street ; and below it on Milk 
 Street, standing on the site of the birthplace of Franklin, 
 is the building of the Boston Bost, a Democratic morning 
 newspaper, under the editorial management of Edwin 
 M. Bacon. 
 
 The historic Old South Church, one of the widest 
 known of the famous old landmarks of Boston, standing 
 on the north-east corner of Washington and Milk Streets, 
 must not be slighted. It occupies the site of the garden 
 of Gov. John Winthrop. Within it is now a most inter- 
 esting historical museum. The history of this church, 
 the third established in Boston, and that of this old meet- 
 ing-house (dedicated April 26, 1730), has often been told, 
 and can readily be learned by consulting the Handbook 
 of Bost 'on. 
 
 Back of the Old South, at Xo. 10 Milk Street, is the 
 ancient and successful publishing house of Lee & Shep- 
 
42 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 ard, well known throughout the Republic. A few steps 
 beyond rises the great granite front of the Post Office. 
 
 Another old building, and a picturesque one, is the 
 "Old Corner Bookstore," on the northwest corner of 
 Washington and School Streets. It dates from 1712, 
 and is the oldest brick building in the city. It has 
 been occupied as a bookstore for a long series of years, 
 and was a favorite haunt of Longfellow and Whittier, 
 Emerson and Lowell, Holmes and Thoreau, and other 
 illustrious authors, when Ticknor & Fields had their 
 head-quarters here. Messrs. Damrell & Upham now oc- 
 cupy it, with a large retail trade. 
 
 On the same side of School Street we come to the City 
 Hall, a striking building of granite, surmounted by a 
 dome, in which is the head-quarters of the fire-alarm 
 telegraph In the City Hall are the executive and other 
 city offices, the council chamber, the aldermen's hall, etc. 
 The statue on the right of the entrance, in the yard in 
 front of the building, is of Josiah Quincy, by Thomas 
 Ball (erected in 1879), and that on the left is of Benjamin 
 Franklin, by Richard S. Greenough (erected in 1856). 
 The building beyond is King's Chapel ; and immediately 
 opposite the City Hall is the Parker House. The chapel 
 and the hotel have already been noticed in our stroll 
 down Tremont Street. 
 
 Returning to Washington Street, and continuing to- 
 wards the Old State House, we pass the newspaper offices 
 and buildings of the Commercial Bulletin, the Sunday 
 Budget, the Herald (morning, evening, and Sunday ; one 
 of the most prominent of the daily newspapers of the 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 43 
 
 country), the Journal (the largest two-cent paper in New 
 England ; morning and evening), the Advertiser (morn- 
 ing ; the oldest daily paper in the city), the Globe (morn- 
 ing, evening, and Sunday); and the Record, a bright and 
 breezy one-cent evening paper. The bookselling and 
 publishing house of Little, Brown & Co., one of the old- 
 est in the city, and particularly rich in law and foreign 
 books, is between the Journal and Advertiser buildings. 
 And on our way back to Scollay Square, through Court 
 Street (through which we entered the General Business 
 Quarter), we pass again Young's Hotel and the County 
 Court-House. Cornhill, which extends from Washington 
 Street a block below Court, and swings around in a half 
 circle to Scollay Square, used to be the book-trade centre 
 of the city ; and there are still a few new and second- 
 hand bookstores located here, particularly noticeable be- 
 ing those of G. E. Littlefield, full of Americana, and N. 
 J. Bartlett & Co. : full of theological works. 
 
 ROUTE No. THREE. 
 
 ALONG THE WATER FRONT. 
 
 The great thoroughfares along the water front of the 
 city proper are Commercial Street and Atlantic Avenue. 
 The former swings around the north side'of the city from 
 the junction of Causeway and Charlestown Streets, near 
 the Charles-River bridge (to the Charlestown District), 
 continuing to State Street and the Custom House (erected 
 1837-47), on the corner of State and Broad Streets. 
 Commercial Street is the thoroughfare next to the water 
 
44 Boston : What to See, and IIoio to Sec It. 
 
 front and the great wharves, from Charles-River bridge 
 until Atlantic Avenue begins, which is near Fleet Street 
 and Eastern Avenue ; then Atlantic Avenue (made en- 
 tirely on new land) takes up the line, continuing around 
 to Federal Street, which in turn marks the line for some 
 distance. Farther on, on the margin of South Bay, 
 Albany Street takes up the line to the South End. 
 
 In this section, convenient to the wharves, are cen- 
 tered the flour and grain, wholesale fish and grocery 
 trades ; the produce, and jobbing fruit trade ; the tea, 
 coffee and sugar brokers, and the agencies of the great 
 sugar refineries. 
 
 To enter this quarter from our general starting-point, 
 Scollay Square, we take a "depot" car past the pas- 
 senger-stations known as the "Northern Depots." The 
 first, largest and newest of these has two great square 
 towers, a lofty marble-paved hall, and an immense 6- 
 track train-house, with a clear span of 120 feet. This 
 station contains the head-quarters of the Boston & Maine 
 Railroad, whose Lowell System and Central Massachu- 
 setts Division trains run thence to the Merrimac Valley 
 and Canada, and to the Connecticut Valley. The East- 
 ern Division of the Boston & Maine runs from the 
 smaller station alongside, its route following the coast to 
 Salem, Newburyport, Portsmouth and Portland. The 
 Western Division (the original Boston & Maine line) 
 leaves the spacious station on Haymarket Square, and 
 reaches Lawrence, Haverhill and Portland. 
 
 Leaving the car at the Fitchburg Station, — the mas- 
 sive rough granite structure, castle-like, with its heavy 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 45 
 
 stone towers, — we can walk through the remainder of 
 Causeway Street to Commercial. Then we pass along 
 by the great buildings of the Boston Gaslight Company, 
 following the curve of the broad street to the beginning 
 of Atlantic Avenue, noting the wharves along the way, 
 and glancing up occasionally to the right, through squalid 
 passageways, into the old North End, which we will 
 " do " later on. 
 
 Most noteworthy of the wharves by the head of which 
 we pass on Commercial Street are Constitution Wharf ; 
 Battery Wharf, from which the Provincetown steamers 
 sail, and from which excursion steamers start almost 
 every day during the summer on some trip into the bay ; 
 Lincoln Wharf, from which the Kennebec-Riverand Ply- 
 mouth steamers sail ; and Union Wharf, upon which is 
 the sombre granite building used as a United-States 
 bonded warehouse. The North Ferry to East Boston is 
 between Battery and Lincoln Wharves ; and further along, 
 at the junction of Commercial Street and Atlantic Ave- 
 nue, is the South Ferry to East Boston, at the foot of 
 Eastern Avenue 
 
 Continuing now along Atlantic Avenue, we pass Lewis 
 Wharf, conspicuous by its granite warehouses, by which 
 the Peabody line of Australian and South-African pack- 
 ets depart, and the Yarmouth, Halifax, Prince-Edward 
 Island, and Savannah steamers ; then Commercial Wharf, 
 from which the St. John ( N. B.) and Eastport, Digby 
 and Annapolis steamers sail. 
 
 From Commercial to T Wharf are the great dealers in 
 fish, oysters, etc. , with scores of busy stores.

 To the right, between Richmond and Clinton streets, 
 we can pass to an inspection of the Mercantile- Wharf 
 wholesale produce and vegetable market, popularly 
 called the Farmers' Market, which is supplied by the 
 vegetable or " truck" farmers of the suburban and more 
 distant farming towns within easy "wagon-distance" of 
 the city. This is an animated place during the early 
 hours of the day. Back of it, towards Commercial Street, 
 which, from the junction with Atlantic Avenue, becomes 
 an "inside" street, running parallel with the avenue, is 
 the immense granite block known as the Mercantile- 
 Wharf Block. 
 
 Returning to Atlantic Avenue, with its line of fish- 
 stores, and continuing our walk, or ride, towards the 
 south, we pass T Wharf ; Long Wharf, from which the 
 Philadelphia steamers sail ; Central Wharf, from which 
 sail the Norfolk and Baltimore steamers, and also the 
 daily boat to Gloucester ; India Wharf, from which sail 
 the steamers of the outside line to New York, the Port- 
 land steamers and the Nahant steamers ; Rowe's Wharf, 
 from which sail the harbor steamers for Pemberton and 
 Nantasket, and Hull and Hingham ; Lynn and Boston 
 Narrow-gauge Railroad Wharf, where ferry is taken to 
 East Boston, from which the railroad starts ; Foster's 
 Wharf, whence depart the steamers for Rockland, Ban- 
 gor, etc. Across Fort-Point Channel are the extensive 
 docks of the New- York & New-England Railroad, from 
 which sail several lines of European freight-steamships. 
 At the foot of Summer Street is the passenger-station of 
 the New-York & New-England Railroad, an unpreten- 
 
48 Boston : What to See, and How to Sec It. 
 
 tious building, but conveniently arranged, and well fur- 
 nished for the comfort of travelers. 
 
 Beyond there is nothing of special interest ; and we 
 can take a look at the passenger-stations of the Old Col- 
 ony and Boston & Albany Railroads, returning by street- 
 cars, passing in front of these stations, to Scollay Square, 
 our general starting-point. To reach these stations from 
 the water-front, we pass along Federal Street from the 
 New-York & New-England station to Kneeland Street. 
 The Old Colony is at the corner of Kneeland and South 
 Streets, and the Albany on Kneeland, between Lincoln 
 and Utica Streets. These stations are among the most 
 conveniently arranged in the city. The train-houses are 
 especially convenient for the arrival and dispatch of 
 trains without confusion. 
 
 ROUTE No. FOUR. 
 
 IN THE WEST-END OR BACK-BAY DISTRICT. 
 
 The "New West-End," or the "Back-Bay district" as 
 it is most commonly called, because the territory is land 
 made almost wholly from filling in what was about twenty- 
 five years ago the "Back Bay," is the most attractive 
 portion of the city. Here is the finest residence district, 
 and some of the most noteworthy buildings and hand- 
 somest churches are within its limits. It is the present 
 "Court-End" of the city, and its fame is more than 
 local. 
 
 We can best approach it from our general starting- 
 point, Scollay Square, by a "Beacon-Street" car. These 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 49 
 
 cars pass down Tremont Street, past the Common, and 
 down Boylston Street, by the Public Garden. As we 
 ride along Boylston Street, past the head of Park Square 
 on the left, we can see the station of the Providence Divi- 
 sion of the Old Colony Railroad, — one of the handsom- 
 est and best-equipped railroad stations in the world. In 
 front of it, in the center of the square, is the " Emanci- 
 pation Group," representing Lincoln, with the figure of 
 a slave kneeling at his feet in gratitude for the Emanci- 
 pation Proclamation, the broken fetters falling from his 
 limbs. This group is of bronze, designed by Thomas 
 Ball. It was presented to the city by Hon. Moses Kim- 
 ball. 
 
 The part of Boylston Street fronting on the Public 
 Garden was for a long time a favorite residence-quarter, 
 but is now rapidly changing into a business street, with 
 hundreds of offices and several fine and fashionable 
 stores. In the great building at the corner of Park 
 Square is the headquarters of the First Nationalist Club, 
 founded to carry forward the ideas enunciated by 
 Edward Bellamy in Looking Backward. The tall build- 
 ing on the opposite corner is not far from the site of the 
 gun-house of the old Sea Fencibles and New-England 
 Guards, and on the exact place of William M. Hunt's 
 studio and Howells's Tavern Club. In ancient times the 
 site of the Public Garden was occupied by marshes and 
 salt water, flowing freely with the sea-tides, which ex- 
 tended up over the parade ground of the Common. From 
 this beach the British infantry embarked on the night of 
 April 18, 1775, for their mournful foray on Lexington. 
 
50 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Later, a sea-wall was built along the line of Charles Street. 
 The magnificent displays of flowers on the reclaimed 
 Public Garden are unrivalled elsewhere in America, and 
 mark the seasons with a floral calendar of marvelous 
 beauty. 
 
 In Boylston Street, beyond the handsome Hotel Thorn- 
 dike, we enter the quarter of the physicians, where it is 
 said that a loud shout of " Doctor ! " after dark will bring 
 a score or more of heads out of the windows, with as many 
 answers of " What ? " It is an open and airy region, with 
 handsome residences, and views of the distant hills ; and 
 electric cars are continually traversing its fine streets. 
 
 On Newbury Street, near the Public Garden, is the St. 
 Botolph Club House. This is the leading literary and 
 professional club in the city. It has a fine art-gallery 
 and reading rooms. 
 
 At the corner of Boylston and Arlington Streets we 
 come to the Arlington-Street Church, the first church 
 built in the Back-Bay district. It is the successor of the 
 historic church in Federal Street in which William Ellery 
 Channing preached. Rev. Brooke Herford is now the 
 pastor. It is Unitarian. 
 
 On the left, a short distance down, on the corner of 
 Berkeley Street, is the Hotel Berkeley, the first apart- 
 ment-house to be built in this district. 
 
 The strikingly fine structure on the opposite corner, 
 also on the left or south side of Boylston Street, is the 
 building of the Young Men's Christian Association. 
 It is admirably arranged for the uses of the association. 
 It contains several large public rooms and halls. The 
 
Boston : What to See, and H 010 to See It. 51 
 
 gymnasium connected with it is one of the finest and best 
 equipped in the city. The building on Berkeley Street, 
 just beyond it, is the Notre Dame Academy. 
 
 In the light-colored stone building at No. 184 Boylston 
 Street, nearly opposite the Institute of Technology, is the 
 headquarters of the Moses King Corporation, whose 
 handbooks and maps are so widely and favorably known. 
 Here the editorial force has long been engaged on that 
 great illustrated National work, Kings Handbook of the 
 United States, the most important and significant volume 
 of the kind ever projected. 
 
 The stately buildings on the right of Boylston Street, 
 with ample grounds about them, are, first, that of the Nat- 
 ural-History Society, and then those of the Institute of 
 Technology. The entrance to the former is from Berkeley 
 Street. The natural-history museum, in this building, is 
 open to the public daily, from 10 A. M. to 5 P.M., and is 
 one of the finest exhibitions of its kind in the country. 
 
 The church-building just beyond, on Berkeley Street, 
 corner of Newbury, is that of the Central Church (Con- 
 gregational Trinitarian). The material of which it is 
 constructed is Roxbury stone, with standstone trimmings. 
 Its graceful stone spire is 236 feet high, the tallest in the 
 city. Dr. Joseph T. Duryea was long the pastor of this 
 church. Also on Newbury Street, not far from the Cen- 
 tral Church, is Emmanuel Church, (Protestant Episco- 
 pal). The interior of this church is very rich. Rev. 
 Leighton Parks is the rector. 
 
 The main building of the Institute of Technology, 
 fronting on Boylston Street, is one of the most note- 
 
52 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 worthy structures of this district. The Institute was one 
 of the earliest technical schools established in the coun- 
 try. The Lowell School of Practical Design is now con- 
 nected with it. Gen. Francis A. Walker is the president 
 of the Institute. The structure recently erected beyond 
 the main building, occupying the lot on the corner of 
 Boylston and Clarendon streets, is a second building of 
 the Institute, which has grown and expanded considerably 
 in recent years. 
 
 The handsome six-story brick building, with freestone 
 trimmings and a grand entrance, on the opposite corner 
 of Boylston and Clarendon Streets, is the Hotel Bruns- 
 wick, one of the most elegant of modern hotels. Its in- 
 terior is tastefully decorated, and its appointments are, 
 in all respects, of the best. 
 
 The car turns from Boylston Street into Clarendon, 
 and thence into Marlborough Street, which is parallel 
 with Boylston Street. We might profitably leave it at 
 the Hotel Brunswick, and continue our tour on foot. 
 
 From the right of Boylston Street we can see on 
 Clarendon Street, corner of Commonwealth Avenue, the 
 stone church, with its stately tower, formerly the Brattle- 
 square Church, and now belonging to the First Baptist 
 Society. 
 
 Continuing west on Boylston Street, we enter Copley 
 Square, with magnificent buildings on either side. On 
 the south-west is a fine brown-stone edifice occupied by 
 studios, offices, etc. 
 
 On the left is Trinity Church, one of the finest and 
 most impressive church-edifices in the country. It is of 
 
Boston : What to See, and Ho%v to See It. 53 
 
 stone ; and its architecture is of the pure French Roman- 
 esque style, in the shape of a Latin cross. The chapel 
 and Sunday School is connected with the main church 
 by an open cloister. The interior of the church is rich 
 and artistic. The rector is the Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks. 
 His residence on the north-east corner of Clarendon and 
 Newbury Streets (the first street north of Boylston) is al- 
 ways interesting to visitors in this quarter. The cloister- 
 doors of Trinity are open daily, from 8 to 4 (Saturdays, 
 8 to 12), so that visitors may see the church. The at- 
 tendants have a small guide-book for sale, describing the 
 frescoes and stained windows, etc. Opposite Trinity 
 Church, on the south, is the Ludlow, a sumptuous apart- 
 ment-house, with the Boston Roller-skating Rink back of 
 it, and the commodious new six-story brick Trinity-place 
 Building of the Institute of Technology. Beyond the 
 Art Museum, on the Dartmouth-Street Bridge, is the 
 new armory of the 1st Massachusetts Regiment, with its 
 immense drill-hall and battlemented towers. 
 
 On the right of Boylston Street, as we approach Dart- 
 mouth Street, is the Second Church (Congregational Uni- 
 tarian), with chapel adjoining. This is a freestone struc- 
 ture, of quiet exterior ornamentation, but most attractive 
 and tasteful interior. The first church-building of this 
 society was the "Old North" in North Square, pulled 
 down by the British during the siege, and used for fire- 
 wood. Rev. Edward A. Horton is the pastor. Ralph 
 Waldo Emerson was at one time pastor of this church. 
 
 The building of the Chauncy-hall School, one of the 
 oldest and foremost of private schools in the city, claims 
 
54 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 especial attention. It is the attractive structure next be- 
 yond the Second Church, on Boylston Street, near Dart- 
 mouth Street. This school dates from 1828. Its pres- 
 ent building has been occupied since 1873, and was 
 especially planned and constructed for it. 
 
 On the opposite side of the square is the Museum of 
 Fine Arts (founded in 1870), with entrance on St. James 
 Avenue. The terra-cotta designs ornamenting its front 
 represent the " Genius of Art" and "Art and Industry." 
 The heads are of Copley, Allston, Crawford, and other 
 famous artists. The museum is open to the public daily. 
 Its collection of paintings, sculpture, and other works of 
 art, is one of the finest in the country. The rooms on 
 the first floor are devoted to statuary and antiquities, and 
 those on the second floor to paintings, drawings, engrav- 
 ings, and decorative art. One visiting the Museum 
 should be provided with a catalogue. Connected with 
 the Museum are schools of drawing, modelling, wood- 
 carving, art-embroidery, and china-painting. 
 
 From in front of the Art Museum we can look down 
 the fine thoroughfare of Huntington Avenue. On the 
 right of this avenue, beyond the railroad-bridge, is the 
 great exhibition-building of the Charitable Mechanic As- 
 sociation, erected in 1881. It covers a space of more 
 than 96,000 square feet. It has a large administration- 
 house and two spacious exhibition-halls, with a fine art- 
 gallery. 
 
 Not far beyond the Charitable Mechanic Exhibition 
 Building, on the right of Huntington Avenue, is the 
 Children's Hospital, a most worthy institution, supported

 by funds and special contributions from philanthropic citi- 
 zens. The large building on Chester Park, near the ave- 
 nue, is the Boston Storage Warehouse, erected by a cor- 
 poration, and maintained for the special care of household 
 and other property not in immediate use. It has an eleva- 
 tor to raise wagons with their contents to the several floors. 
 From Copley Square we can also approach the fine 
 new building of the Harvard Medical School. This 
 occupies a portion of the lot on the corner of Boylston 
 and Exeter Streets. It is thoroughly constructed, and is 
 a noteworthy feature of this impressive district. Just 
 beyond it, on Exeter Street, is the drill hall of the Insti- 
 tute of Technology ; and near by, also on Exeter Street, 
 corner of Newbury, is the Prince School, one of the 
 most perfect of its class in the city. The other corners 
 of Exeter and Newbury Streets are occupied by the South 
 Congregational Church (Unitarian) ; the First Spiritual 
 Temple, a spacious and curious structure of stone, erected 
 at great expense ; and the Massachusetts Normal Art- 
 School, an imposing new building, of brick and brown- 
 stone, with a lofty pointed roof. Farther out, at the 
 corner of Boylston and Hereford Streets, is the very 
 handsome new Romanesque building, in brick and brown- 
 stone, erected for the Back-Bay police and fire depart- 
 ments. The symmetrical arches of this building merit 
 careful inspection. The region between Boylston Street 
 and the river, and between the Public Garden and the 
 Back-Bay Park, is one of the finest residence-quarters in 
 the world, exemplifying in its construction almost every 
 variety of architecture and durable material. Many of 
 
58 Boston : What to See, and Hois to Sec It. 
 
 the great apartment-hotels and of the homes of wealthy 
 families are imposing enough for the Faubourg St. Ger- 
 main itself. They abound in careful and delicate detail 
 work, fine carving, tiles, stained glass, wrought-iron work, 
 and other elegances of construction. One of the finest 
 of these mansions is that belonging to Ex-Gov. Ames, at 
 the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and West Chester 
 Park. Another is the stately and impressive gray-brick 
 house of John F. Andrew, at the corner of Common- 
 wealth Avenue and Hereford Street. To the westward 
 of the residence-streets are the salt-water courses, sedgy 
 banks, and magnificent driveways and bridges of the 
 Back-Bay Fens, which are designed to be a picturesque 
 bit of sea-coast creek and shore, amid the highly artificial 
 and finished surroundings of a splendid metropolis. Be- 
 yond the incomplete Park are seen the towers and spires 
 of Longwood and Brookiine and Cambridge, and the long 
 house-crowned crest of Corey Hill, with the remoter blue 
 hills of the Middlesex towns. 
 
 On Dartmouth Street, nearly opposite Trinity Church, 
 the magnificent new Public Library is being built, in the 
 style of a Roman palace ; and farther toward the ri vei- 
 ls the Hotel Victoria. The Boston Athletic Association 
 building, on Exeter Street and St. James Avenue, is one 
 of the finest structures of its class in this country. The 
 triangular-shaped building at the intersection of Hunt- 
 ington Avenue, St. James Avenue, and Dartmouth Street, 
 is the Hotel Huntington. 
 
 The church on the Dartmouth-Street side of Copley 
 Square, on the corner of Boylston Street, pertains to the 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 59 
 
 Old South society. To distinguish it from the historic 
 old structure on the corner of Washington and Milk 
 Streets, which we have seen in the ' ' Retail Quarter, " it is 
 generally spoken of as the "New Old South." This is 
 one of the costliest church-buildings in the city. Its form 
 is a cross ; and its most conspicuous features are its mas- 
 sive stone tower, terminating in a spire, and its lantern, 
 with a pointed dome of gilded copper. The chapel and 
 parsonage are along the Boylston-Street side. 
 
 The new building of the Art Club is next beyond the 
 "New Old South," on Dartmouth Street, occupying the 
 corner of Newbury Street. The club-members' entrance 
 is on Newbury Street, and the public entrance on Dart- 
 mouth, leading to the art-gallery of the club. The terra- 
 cotta designs ornamenting the exterior of the building 
 are not more striking than the highly decorated interior. 
 Let us pass now through Dartmouth Street to Com- 
 monwealth Avenue, -the "show" thoroughfare of this 
 district, 240 feet wide, with the parkway in its centre, 
 and long lines of stately dwellings on each side. 
 
 On the corner of Dartmouth Street and the avenue is 
 the Hotel Vendome, — a splendid marble-front structure 
 of magnificent proportions, impressive outwardly, and 
 superb within. The avenue entrance leads into a highly 
 decorated rotunda paved with English encaustic tiles ; 
 and the ladies' entrance, on the Dartmouth-Street side, is 
 elegant in its finish and furnishings. The hotel is thor- 
 oughly equipped, has the latest modern improvements, 
 and is sumptuously furnished. 
 
 Proceeding up the avenue, we pass the First Baptist 
 
6o Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Church ( formerly the Brattle-Square Unitarian ), on the 
 corner of Clarendon Street. The feature of this stone 
 edifice is its massive tower, with its frieze of bas-reliefs, 
 with full-length figures representing the sacraments of 
 baptism, communion, marriage and burial. The designs 
 were made by Bartholdy, the celebrated French sculptor. 
 The pastor of this church is Rev. Philip S. Moxom. 
 
 As we cross Berkeley Street, looking down that street 
 to the left, we can see the stone edifice of the First 
 Church, on the corner of Marlborough Street. This is 
 Congregational Unitarian. Rufus Ellis was pastor for 
 many years. The church is the direct descendant of the 
 first church established in Boston. It was formed first 
 in Charlestown ; and when the colonists moved to this 
 peninsula, and founded Boston, its first meeting-house 
 was built. This stood on State Street, near where Braz- 
 er's Building stands, the site of which was pointed out 
 along Route No. One. The next meeting-house of this 
 First Church was on Washington Street, where Rogers 
 Building now stands (nearly opposite the head of State 
 Street ). The third meeting-house was built on the same 
 spot, and the next in Chauncy Place. 
 
 Along the avenue, we pass the statues of Gen. John 
 Glover, in bronze, by Martin Milmore ; Alexander Ham- 
 ilton, in granite, by Dr. William Rimmer ; and William 
 Lloyd Garrison, by Olin L. Warner. The statue of Leif 
 Ericsson, the Norse discoverer, is at the end of the ave- 
 nue, opposite Gov. Ames's house. 
 
 We have called attention only to the conspicuous pub- 
 lic buildings in this district ; but let the stranger take any 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 61 
 
 of the streets running east and west, north and south, 
 and he cannot fail to find everywhere private residences 
 that will attract his attention by reason of their beauty, 
 their oddity, or their costliness. 
 
 From Commonwealth Avenue, across Arlington Street, 
 we pass into the Public Garden. In the main path, 
 opposite the gate, is a glorious equestrian statue of 
 Washington ( erected in 1869 ), by Ball. Towards the 
 right, a short walk distant, on the Boylston-Street side, is 
 the bronze statue of Charles Sumner ( erected in 1878 ), 
 also by Ball. Across the Garden, on the Arlington-Street 
 side, towards Beacon Street, is the Ether Monument, to 
 commemorate the discovery of anaesthetics : and midway 
 along the Beacon-Street side is Story's statue of Everett 
 ( erected in 1867 ). The Public Garden is now one of 
 the pleasantest spots in the city. It is a veritable garden, 
 with well-kept, trim and uniquely arranged flower-beds, 
 brilliant with color in the blossoming seasons. The little 
 lake and the high bridge are pleasant features of the 
 Garden. A statue of Col. Cass of the Ninth Massachu- 
 setts was erected here in 1889. 
 
 We can return from this district across the Com- 
 mon, passing near the Army and Navy Monument, the 
 work of Martin Milmore, and thence through Tremont 
 Street to Scollay Square ; but it is better to walk up 
 Beacon Street from Charles Street, passing the Somerset 
 Club House, a short distance above Spruce Street ; then 
 the site of the famous mansion-house of Gov. Hancock, 
 now occupied by the brown-stone houses near Hancock 
 Place, and marked by a slab on the low iron fence in 
 
62 Boston : Wliat to See, and How to See It. 
 
 front of these houses ; and next the State House, at the 
 corner of Beacon and Mount Vernon streets, noticing 
 the statue of Horace Mann, by Emma Stebbins, at the 
 left of the long flight of steps to the entrance, and that of 
 Webster, by Powers. In the State House, which should 
 be visited by every stranger, observe the statue of Andrew 
 by Ball, the battle-flags and other interesting features 
 of Doric Hall ; and ascend to the dome, whence a mag- 
 nificent view of Boston and its environs can be obtained. 
 Back of the State House, a great annex is now being built, 
 at a cost of above $2,000,000. 
 
 On the right side of Beacon, just below Park Street, 
 is the Boston Athenaeum, with its choice library of fully 
 150,000 volumes ; on Somerset Street, just off from Bea- 
 con, is the Boston -University Building ; and on the cor- 
 ner of Beacon and Somerset Streets, the Congregational 
 House. Here are the headquarters of the American 
 Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, the offices 
 of The Congregationalist and The Literary World, the 
 Congregational Library and Pilgrim Hall. At the corner 
 of Bowdoin and Beacon Streets stands the magnificent 
 brown-stone building of the American Unitarian Associa- 
 tion. Thence we return, through Beacon and Tremont 
 Streets to Scollay Square. 
 
 ROUTE No. FIVE. 
 
 IN THE OLD WEST END. 
 
 The "Old West End" is quaint, and in parts "emi- 
 nently respectable." In Routes Nos. Two and Four we 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 63 
 
 have entered it and, seen some of its features. Scollay 
 Square is on the edge of it, and we can do it entirely on 
 foot. We pass through Pemberton Square — at one 
 time largely occupied by lawyers and architects, which is 
 entered from the head of Scollay Square, at the junction 
 of Tremont and Court Streets — into Somerset Street. 
 In Pemberton Square on the north side are the slowly 
 rising granite walls of the new and costly Court House 
 of Suffolk County, which will be one of the most mag- 
 nificent public buildings in New England, and has now 
 been under construction for years. 
 
 On Somerset Street, opposite the outlet from Pember- 
 ton Square, is the Boston-University Building ( the Jacob 
 Sleeper Hall ), pointed out on the way along Beacon Street 
 in Route No. Four. The university embraces schools 
 of liberal arts, law, medicine, theology, music, oratory, 
 agriculture, and all sciences. This building is the head- 
 quarters ; and here are the business-offices, as well as the 
 leading schools. The building stands on the site of the 
 old Somerset-Street Church, and was completed in 1882. 
 It is a handsome structure, thoroughly built, and artis- 
 tically designed. The president of the university is Wil- 
 liam F. Warren, S.T.D., LL.D. Just below, also on 
 Somerset Street, on the left, part way down the hill, at 
 No. 18, is the building of the New-England Historic- 
 Genealogical Society, containing relics, manuscripts, 
 and nearly 80,000 volumes and pamphlets, chiefly history 
 and genealogy. 
 
 In Ashburton Place — from Somerset Street, extending 
 to Bowdoin — is the Mount-Vernon Church ( Congrega-

 tional ; Rev. Dr. Samuel E. Herrick, pastor), and the 
 Law School of Boston University. Around the corner, 
 on Bowdoin Street, up the hill a few steps, on the left, 
 near Beacon Street, is the oldest Swedenborgian church 
 in the city ( Rev. James Reed, pastor). 
 
 From Bowdoin Street we pass through Beacon- Hill 
 Place into Mount- Vernon Street, and along that street to 
 Hancock. Down Hancock we pass the site of the new 
 State-House annex, and further down the spacious 
 old-fashioned house, No. 20, formerly the home of 
 Charles Sumner. 
 
 At the foot of Hancock Street we cross Cambridge 
 Street, and pass up Lynde Street. On the corner 
 of Lynde and Cambridge Streets, setting back from 
 Cambridge, with a pleasant little park ( known as Lowell 
 Square ) in front of it, is the West Church, one of the 
 oldest of the existing meeting-houses. The present church 
 was built in 1806, when Rev. Dr. Charles Lowell, father 
 of James Russell Lowell, the essayist and poet, was pas- 
 tor. Dr. Bartol was connected with its pastorate for 
 half a century, but retired a year or two ago, and the 
 church was then closed and abandoned. 
 
 Through Lynde Street we pass to Green, from Green 
 to Chambers. At one corner of McLean Street stands the 
 House of the Good Samaritan, and on the other, St. 
 Joseph's Catholic Church. Through McLean Street we 
 come to Blossom Street, upon which is the main entrance 
 to the Massachusetts General Hospital ( founded in 17T9, 
 opened in 1821) and its generous grounds. This is one of 
 the most noteworthy institutions of its class in the country. 
 
66 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 In its neighborhood, on North Grove Street, is the 
 Harvard Dental School (formerly the Medical School). 
 Here poor people may have their teeth put in order at 
 little or no cost. 
 
 A walk up Beacon Hill again, and down through 
 Pinckney Street, with its houses of quaint and varied 
 architecture, or Mount- Vernon Street with its stately 
 dwellings, or Chestnut Street, one of the finest old resi- 
 dent quarters of the city, will be found full of interest. 
 The hill we can reach from Cambridge Street, into which 
 Blossom and North Grove Streets make ; and we can 
 ascend it by Joy, Temple, Hancock, or other parallel 
 streets. 
 
 Pinckney Street begins at Joy Street, and runs over 
 and down the hill to Charles River. Midway down 
 Pinckney Street we pass, on the left, Louisburg Square. 
 In this neighborhood lived the first Englishman in what 
 is now Boston, — William Blackstone ; and about the 
 center of Louisburg Square was the "spring of pure 
 water," the report of the existence of which brought 
 Winthrop and his followers from Charlestown, and led to 
 the settlement of Boston. The statues within this square 
 are of Columbus and Aristides. 
 
 At the foot of the hill, across Charles Street, on the 
 corner of Mount- Vernon and Brimmer, is the Church of 
 the Advent, a prominent ritualistic Episcopal parish, 
 with rich and imposing choral services. The church on 
 the corner of Charles and Mount- Vernon Streets was for- 
 merly the Charles-Street Baptist Church, and is now one 
 of the most prominent colored churches of the city. 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 67 
 
 At the foot of Chestnut Street, on the margin of 
 Charles River, is the club-house of the Union Boat-Club. 
 On Revere Street, just off Charles Street, on the left, 
 is the Old Women's Home, a worthy and noticeable 
 institution. 
 
 Along Charles Street, near the corner of Cambridge 
 Street, is the building of the Massachusetts Eye and 
 Ear Infirmary. This is one of the most important of 
 the private charitable institutions of the city. It is de- 
 signed for the relief and treatment of the poor or unfor- 
 tunate, suffering from diseases of the eye or ear. No 
 charge is made for the services of its surgeons ; and a 
 nominal price only, for board, is charged those who 
 can afford to contribute slightly to their support while 
 undergoing treatment. The institution is sustained by 
 funds contributed by benevolent citizens of means. It 
 has a large list of out-patients. The administration of 
 the institution is in the hands of a board of trustees, at 
 the head of which is a leading surgeon. On the other 
 side of Cambridge Street, on the right side of Charles 
 Street, is the County Jail. This is a substantial granite 
 building, constructed in the most thorough manner 
 throughout, in the form of a Greek cross, the arms radi- 
 ating from the great central guard-room. It was built 
 in 1851, and it cost, with the land upon which it stands 
 and the grounds surrounding it, constituting the jail-yard, 
 $450,000. 
 
 We can return to our starting-point by taking a ' 'West- 
 end " car, which goes through Cambridge Street, Bow- 
 doin Square, and Court Street, to Scollay Square.

 ROUTE No. SIX. 
 
 IN THE NORTH END 
 
 The North End, into which the humbler classes and 
 some of the vicious are now crowded, and which is in 
 parts unsavory, is historic ground, and was once the most 
 aristocratic section of the town. 
 
 We can best approach it from Scollay Square through 
 Hanover Street, passing by the American House on our 
 left (established in 1835, rebuilt and greatly enlarged in 
 1851 ; American plan), and thence to Salem Street, which 
 leads off obliquely from Hanover Street, and then runs 
 nearly parallel with it. 
 
 As soon as Salem Street is entered the sights become 
 interesting. Here is one of the Jewish quarters of the 
 city. Along the way down the street, and in the inter- 
 secting streets, notice several good examples of the Colon- 
 ial style of building, with the second story projecting 
 over the first. 
 
 In this region also dwell a thousand or more of Portu- 
 guese, from the Azore Islands : and their little Catholic 
 Church is one of the features of North Bennett Street. 
 
 Near by, in and around North Street, dwells the Ital- 
 ian colony of Boston, numbering several thousand per- 
 sons, with its own banks, clubs, shops, and restaurants. 
 Their church is St. Leonard of Porto Maurizio. There 
 are also many Russians in the North End, mostly He- 
 brews, with their synagogues and other peculiar institu- 
 tions. The Armenians of Boston form a respectable 
 colony, but are not settled in a group, and are less num- 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 69 
 
 erous than the Armenian community of Worcester. The 
 negro quarter is on the western slope of Beacon Hill, and 
 numbers several thousand persons. 
 
 Salem Street is the most interesting below Prince 
 Street. The picturesque features of the quarter are the 
 old Christ Church, on Salem Street, fronting Hull Street, 
 and the ancient Copp's-Hill Burying-ground near by. 
 Christ Church is the oldest church-building now standing 
 (built in 1723). It was from its steeple that the Paul 
 Revere signal-lights were displayed, April 18, 1775, as 
 the tablet on the front of the church announces. The 
 interior of the church has been little changed in all 
 these years ; happily, no attempt having been made to 
 modernize it. It contains historic paintings, and mural 
 ornaments, and much that is interesting. In its tower is 
 a sweet chime of eight bells, each of which bears an in- 
 scription. No visitor should neglect to visit this church, 
 and examine its quaint interior. 
 
 Copp's-Hill Burying-ground was established in 1659. 
 It used to be called the "Old North." Its most distin- 
 guished graves are those of the Mathers. It is a picturesque 
 place, and should certainly be visited by every stranger. 
 The British batteries which burned the town of Charles- 
 town during the Battle of Bunker Hill were planted on 
 Copp's Hill. The cemetery is open to visitors from May 
 1 to Nov. 1, from 7.30 A. M. to noon, and from 1 to 6 
 P. M. , and hundreds of people avail themselves of the priv- 
 ilege every week. The superintendent has published an 
 interesting pamphlet describing the locality, with copies 
 of the chief epitaphs, and other historical memoranda. 
 
70 " Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 From Hull Street, in front of the burying-ground, we 
 can stroll down Snowhill Street into North Margin, a 
 squalid neighborhood, but a not uninteresting one, es- 
 pecially to those interested in old-time architecture, which 
 is shown in some of the dilapidated houses ; thence to 
 Thatcher, where we will notice the great Catholic church 
 ( St. Mary's ) constructed of brick, with granite trim- 
 mings, the front ornamented with two towers ; and then 
 back again through Cooper to Salem Street. 
 
 Through Prince Street from Salem, across Hanover, 
 we come to North Square, passing the Italian Church on 
 Prince Street near Hanover. 
 
 The Old North Church, — "the church of the Math- 
 ers," — torn down by the British and used for fuel, used 
 to stand here ; and near the exit from the square into 
 North Street still stands the house where it is supposed 
 Paul Revere was born. 
 
 The Mariners' House, in North Square, is a free house 
 for sailors, and nearly opposite stood ' ' Father Taylor's 
 Bethel," a famous chapel for sailors. 
 
 We can return direct to Scollay Square, through North 
 Street, Dock and Adams Squares, and Cornhill. 
 
 ROUTE No. SEVEN- 
 
 IN THE SOUTH END. 
 
 The South End is largely a residence-quarter, like the 
 Back Bay, and the greater part of it has been reclaimed 
 from the harbor by filling-in. At one time the isthmus 
 joining Boston to the mainland was so narrow that the 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 71 
 
 bowsprits of vessels lying up to the shore on either side 
 closed up the country road. At the seasons of full tides 
 the salt water overflowed the road up to the knees of the 
 passing horses. Here and there were wharves, ship- 
 yards, and tidal marshes, where sportsmen from the 
 town hunted sea-birds. Before 1640 a fortification on 
 this narrow isthmus, guarded by colonial troops, and 
 with its gates closed at night, secured the town against 
 the possibility of an Indian assault. In 1710 a stronger 
 line of defense was erected, just south of Dover Street, 
 over whose thick walls great guns glowered on Roxbury. 
 The British garrison enlarged these works in 1774-5, with 
 redans, bastions, fosses, abattis, and 50 or more cannon 
 and mortars, which kept up an incessant fire on the 
 American lines, less than a mile away. Lord Percy 
 commanded these defences, at one time, with a garrison 
 of redcoats. 
 
 The growth of Boston during the present century has 
 been largely on ground reclaimed from the sea by filling 
 in on either side of Boston Neck ; and now this great dis- 
 trict reveals no traces of water on either side. The bay 
 has been expelled, and its place is occupied by leagues of 
 brick dwelling-houses, churches and other buildings. 
 
 The horse-car and electric-car routes to Roxbury and 
 upper Dorchester lead through the South End, starting 
 from Scollay Square and other down-town points. The 
 Shawmut-Avenue line is used entirely by electric-cars, 
 running to Roxbury and Grove Hall. The routes to the 
 southward go through Tremont Street, alongside the Com- 
 mon, or through Washington Street ; beyond Boylston 
 
72 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Street by Tremont direct, or Shawmut or Columbus Ave- 
 nues ; or by Harrison Avenue and Washington Street, 
 again, beyond Dover. The horse-cars which pass through 
 Columbus or Shawmut Avenues run through the South 
 End, and to Roxbury, Dorchester and the Southern 
 suburbs. A convenient way is to go out by way of Col- 
 umbus Avenue, and return by way of Washington Street. 
 Just as we enter Columbus Avenue we again pass the 
 Emancipation Group in Park Square ( which we noticed 
 on the way down to the Back-bay district ), and on the 
 right the elegant passenger-station of the Providence 
 Division of the Old Colony Railroad. 
 
 At the corner of the avenue and Berkeley Street is the 
 People's Church ( Methodist Episcopal ), on the right ; 
 and on the opposite corner on the left, the First Presby- 
 terian Church. 
 
 The large buildings hereabouts are apartment-houses. 
 The stone church just over the bridge, on the left, on the 
 corner of Clarendon Street, is the Columbus- Avenue Uni- 
 versalist Church ( Rev. Dr. A. A. Miner, pastor ). 
 Another fine apartment-house is observed on the left, 
 and others are on each side farther on. 
 
 The stone church on the corner of West-Rutland 
 Square, a picturesque structure with ivy-covered walls, 
 is the Union Church, ( Congregational ). The Rev. N. 
 Boynton is pastor. The Home for Little Wanderers is 
 back of the church. We might leave the car just before 
 we reach this church, at Columbus Square, at the junction 
 of Columbus and Warren Avenues, and proceed down 
 the latter — towards "down-town " again — to Berkeley 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 73 
 
 Street, and thence to Tremont. On the way down War- 
 ren Avenue, we pass on the right, at the corner of West 
 Brookline Street, the Church of the Disciples ( where the 
 late Dr. James Freeman Clarke preached ) ; then, at the 
 corner of West Canton Street, the Warren-Avenue Baptist 
 Church. Next we come to the splendid and extensive 
 structure, the building of the Latin and English High 
 Schools, one of the most noteworthy institutions of its 
 kind in the country. This is on the corner of Dartmouth 
 Street and Warren Avenue, and occupies a parallelogram 
 423 feet long and 220 feet wide. The main entrances to 
 the Latin School on the Warren- Avenue front, and to the 
 English High on the Montgomery-Street front, are deco- 
 rated with statuary. The building contains seventy-eight 
 rooms and halls. Across the easterly end of the building 
 are a fine drill-hall and the gymnasium. Just beyond 
 the avenue, to the left, on Dartmouth Street, is the old 
 Rice-School Building, now occupied by the Normal 
 School for Girls ; and herein is a training-school. 
 
 On Clarendon, corner of Montgomery Street, occupy- 
 ing the lot adjoining that on which the Latin and Eng- 
 lish High School stands, is the Clarendon-Street Baptist 
 Church (Rev. Dr. A. J. Gordon, pastor). 
 
 At the corner of Warren Avenue and Berkeley Street, 
 at the left, is the Berkeley Temple ( Congregational 
 Trinitarian ; Rev. Charles A. Dickinson, pastor ) ; and 
 on the opposite corner, at the right, is the handsome 
 marble-front Odd-Fellows' Hall, the main entrance to 
 which is on Berkeley Street. On Berkeley Street, near 
 by, is the Parker Memorial Building, with the Parker

 Memorial and Sumner Halls, and alongside is the Paine

 Near by is the great round building with fortress-like 
 entrance, of the Cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg, 
 visited daily by hundreds of people. 
 
 Turning from Berkeley Street into Tremont, let us 
 proceed up that street. We pass on the right the Claren- 
 don Hotel, and, just beyond, the St. Cloud Hotel ; the 
 latter an apartment-house, about opposite which, at the 
 left, is Union-Park Street, with its parkway in the center. 
 Through this we can catch a glimpse of the former home 
 of Edward Everett Hale's South Congregational (Unita- 
 rian) Church, which is now occupied as a Hebrew syna- 
 gogue. 
 
 Next, at the corner of West-Brookline Street, on the 
 left of Tremont, is the Shawmut Congregational Church 
 (Rev. W. E. Griffis, pastor.) 
 
 Looking down Pembroke Street, the next beyond, also 
 on the left of Tremont, we can see the fine school- build- 
 ing occupied by the Girls' Latin School and the Girls' 
 High School. This building extends through to Newton 
 Street, with entrances on both streets. 
 
 Beyond, again, at the corner of West-Concord Street, 
 is the Tremont-Street Methodist Church, one of the fin- 
 est churches of its denomination in the city. 
 
 On Springfield Street, again, from the left of Tremont 
 Street, we see the Home for Aged Men, a practical char- 
 ity well administered. 
 
 Some ways beyond Chester Park, a short lane diverges 
 from Tremont Street to the right to the Boston Base-ball 
 
76 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Grounds, with their costly and handsome grand stand. 
 Thousands of people assemble here when match-games 
 are being played, and wild enthusiasm is manifested. 
 Many ladies attend these interesting displays. 
 
 At Chester Square we may turn and walk through the 
 pleasant park in its center to Washington Street, pro- 
 ceeding down the latter street on our return walk or ride, 
 to our general starting-point. 
 
 Let us next turn into East-Concord Street from the 
 right side of Washington, and proceed to Harrison 
 Avenue, and observe the buildings of the City Hospital, 
 occupying the block on this avenue, between East-Con- 
 cord and Springfield Streets. Near by, on East-Concord 
 Street, are the Homoeopathic Hospital and the Massachu- 
 setts Medical School. 
 
 Other noteworthy buildings in this neighborhood are 
 the Church of the Immaculate Conception (Catholic) on 
 the left side of Harrison Avenue, and Boston College 
 (also Catholic) adjoining. The interior of the former is 
 one of the richest and most impressive church-interiors of 
 the city. The musical portion of the regular and special 
 services here is very fine. 
 
 We return to Washington Street through East-Newton 
 Street, past the New-England Conservatory of Music 
 building (formerly the St. James Hotel) on the left. This 
 school, founded and now directed by Dr. Eben Tourjee, 
 has become one of the largest and most useful educa- 
 tional institutions in America. Although it is nominally 
 a music-school, its scope has been extended from time to 
 time, until it is now a general college, with and without 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 77 
 
 boarding accommodations. An important addition to the 
 present building is contemplated, — the construction of a 
 large music-hall, in which the "Great Organ," once a 
 noteworthy feature of the Boston Music Hall on Winter 
 Street, is to be placed. Back of the New-England Con- 
 servatory building, occupying the lot fronting on Wash- 
 ington Street, is the old South Burying-ground, estab- 
 lished in 1810. 
 
 The small parks on either side of Washington Street, 
 extending from Newton to Brookline Streets, are Frank- 
 lin on the east side, and Blackstone on the west side. 
 
 Proceeding down Washington Street, the next note- 
 worthy building is the great Cathedral of the Holy Cross 
 (Roman Catholic). This is on the right side of Washington 
 Street, corner of Union-Park Street, and is an imposing 
 structure. Its interior is very fine and is well worth ex- 
 amination. The archbishop s residence is back of the cath- 
 edral, corner of Union-Park Street and Harrison Avenue. 
 
 The Grand Opera House, opened in 1887, is a new and 
 popular place of amusement, of great size, and at low 
 prices, on Washington Street, just above Dover Street. 
 
 At the corner of Washington and Dover Streets is the 
 Grand Museum, opened in 1888, formerly the Windsor The 
 atre, the first " up-town " theater in the city proper. At 
 about this point the old fortifications at ' ' the Neck " stood. 
 
 The handsome new Hollis-Street Theatre is on the site 
 of the old Unitarian church in Hollis Street, three squares 
 south of the Common. 
 
 Here we may take a car on Washington Street that 
 will carry us all the way back to Scollay Square. 
 
78 Boston : What to See, and Hozv to See It. 
 
 ROUTE No. EIGHT 
 
 IN THE ROXBURY DISTRICT. 
 
 The annexed territory now called the Roxbury District 
 lies southwest of the old city, or Boston proper. The 
 thoroughfares leading to it are four — Harrison Avenue, 
 Washington Street, Shawmut Avenue, and Tremont 
 Street. This is the order of their succession, viewed 
 laterally, Tremont Street being the most westerly. Col- 
 umbus Avenue, which lies more to the westward, will one 
 day be extended through to the Roxbury District. At 
 present Washington Street, Shawmut Avenue, Tremont 
 Street and Huntington Avenue are available throughout 
 by street-cars. Of these, the Washington-Street route is 
 preferable for the stranger and sight-seer. The cars 
 pass from Tremont Street to Cornhill, across the head of 
 Scollay Square. 
 
 In going out by this street, through the South-end dis- 
 trict, which we have just seen in Route No. Seven, the 
 stables of the West-End Horse Railway, at the South 
 End, near Lenox Street, will serve as a landmark to 
 indicate the old boundary-line between Boston and Rox- 
 bury. The point is of some historic interest ; for here 
 the American troops engaged in the siege of Boston, 
 erected strong fortifications, and planted heavy batteries, 
 to resist any attempt of the British troops to get into the 
 country. 
 
 A few rods beyond this point in the outward journey, 
 on the left an ancient high-walled burial-ground will be 
 observed at the corner or intersection of Washington 
 
Boston : What to See, and Hoio to See It. 79 
 
 and Eustis Streets. Its oldest gravestone bears the date 
 of 1653. The most noted person whose remains were 
 there buried was the Rev. John Eliot, known as the 
 Apostle to the Indians, and translator of the Bible into 
 the language of the neighboring New-England tribes. 
 His body was the first that was placed in the "parish 
 tomb," which contains also the remains of his five success- 
 ors in the pastorate of the First Parish. The graves of 
 Thomas Dudley and Joseph Dudley (Governors), and Paul 
 Dudley (Chief Justice of Massachusetts) are in this ceme- 
 tery. Eustis Street is the old road leading to Dorchester. 
 It passes through that section of Roxbury called Mount 
 Pleasant. This name indicates truly the characteristic 
 of the scenery ; but there is nothing very notable on the 
 route, within the Roxbury limits, the last of the interest- 
 ing landmarks — the Shirley House, so called from its 
 first occupant, who was one of the provincial governors 
 of Massachusetts — having been torn down a few years 
 ago. This house, after the Revolution, was owned and 
 occupied by Gov. Eustis. It was a good specimen of the 
 best Provincial architecture. 
 
 Continuing from the old burial-ground, then, on Wash- 
 ington Street, we find that a little way above Eustis 
 Street the travel is divided into three principal lines. To 
 the right, Roxbury Street stretches a short distance to 
 Eliot Square, popularly known as the Norfolk-House 
 neighborhood, on account of the large hotel there. To 
 the left, Warren Street sweeps away into what used to 
 be the country, but is now a beautiful semi-rural, semi- 
 urban section, and extends towards central Dorchester 
 
So Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 by the way of Grove Hall. Beyond these points of diver- 
 gence, Washington Street leads towards Jamaica Plain. 
 The principal stores, the banks, public institutions, post- 
 office, public halls, etc., of Roxbury, are near these points 
 of divergence. 
 
 On Washington Street, soon after crossing Dudley 
 Street, we come to three or four fine old-fashioned man- 
 sions, which give an idea of the heyday of things, soci- 
 ally speaking, of the Colonial period. Some of ihese 
 old mansions have been removed recently to make room 
 for more modern and profitable structures. Among the 
 vanished homes was the venerable house of the Tory 
 Auchmutys. 
 
 By this street the car ride may be extended, amid 
 pleasant scenery, as far as Forest-Hills Station, which is 
 near to the noted cemetery of the same name. 
 
 In the neighborhood of Eliot Square are many pleasant 
 and s >me historic situations. The old First Parish 
 Church building fronts the square. The church as an 
 organization dates from 1632, and on this site it has 
 always had a house of worship. The present structure 
 was built about the beginning of this century, and is an 
 excellent specimen of the most fully developed Puritan 
 church architecture, The apostle Eliot was one of the 
 early pastors, and divided his ministrations between the 
 parishioners and the Indians ; giving the Indians, on the 
 whole, Scripture measure, and trusting the parish largely 
 to his colleague. The church is now Congregational 
 Unitarian, and the present pastor is the Rev. James De 
 Xormandie. For nearly half a century the late Rev. Dr. 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 8 1 
 
 Putnam was its pastor. The land where this old church 
 stands is quite elevated, and Gen. Washington's army 
 thoroughly fortified it, to command the roads from 
 Boston. 
 
 About a quarter of a mile to the south-west were still 
 stronger works, known as the Roxbury Fort. This spot 
 is now marked by the stand-pipe oE the Boston Water- 
 Works, which, as an architectural column, is deemed to 
 be of great beauty. 
 
 Not far distant, on Roxbury Street, in the large build- 
 ing No. 286, is the famous establishment of L. Prang & 
 Co., art and educational publishers. Here are the most 
 extensive and interesting art-works of their kind in the 
 country. 
 
 From Eliot Square extends Highland Street, one of 
 the most charming of Roxbury situations. Many fine 
 residences and grounds front upon this street. In one of 
 these houses lived, in his later years, William Lloyd 
 Garrison. The famous Unitarian pulpit-orator just 
 alluded to, as long pastor of the old church, Rev. Dr. 
 George Putnam, was another resident. Rev. Dr. Ed- 
 ward Everett Hale is one of the present residents of this 
 locality. He lives in a charming home at No. 39 High- 
 land Street. 
 
 For visiting the parts of the Roxbury District already 
 named, several lines of cars may be taken. Some 
 of these cars also pass through Warren Street ; but, the 
 Oakland-Garden cars are to be preferred if we wish to 
 take in Roxbury merely ; for by them we can reach the 
 great public pleasure-ground of forests and fields known 
 
82 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 as Franklin Park. Even now, when almost in a state of 
 nature, it offers opportunity for many pleasant strolls. 
 
 On the way out, about a quarter of a mile from the 
 diverging point of Washington Street, is the site of the 
 mansion of Gen. Joseph Warren, of Bunker-Hill fame. 
 A marble tablet marks the spot. A little way beyond, a 
 site is reserved for Warren's monument, now being made. 
 
 ROUTE No. NINE. 
 
 IN THE DORCHESTER DISTRICT. 
 
 The most direct way of reaching the northern part of 
 the Dorchester District is by the street-cars which leave 
 the Old South, and go through South Boston. The 
 pleasantest way is by cars leaving Scollay Square, and 
 going to Upham's Corner. This is the route already 
 mentioned in referring to Mount Pleasant in the Rox- 
 bury District. For seeing the principal features of Dor- 
 chester in a single jaunt, it will, perhaps, be better, 
 rather than to take either of these routes, to go out 
 through the Roxbury District, by way of W T arren 
 Street, to central Dorchester. 
 
 To reach central Dorchester, we should take the Dorches- 
 ter electric-cars, which depart from the Tremont House, 
 a short walk from Scollay Square. These will give us all the 
 opportunity of sight-seeing described in Route No. Eight, 
 so far as relates to Warren Street. Having passed 
 through and beheld all the charming situations of War- 
 ren Street, we enter Dorchester near Grove Hall after a 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. S3 
 
 ride of about thirty minutes, and thereafter we ride a 
 mile and a half amidst delightful rural scenery. 
 
 Grove Hall is now a neighborhood designation. What 
 was once the hall is now called the Consumptives' 
 Home, a charitable institution. A little way beyond 
 are the celebrated gardens of the late Marshall P. Wilder. 
 To the left is the high ground called Mount Bowdoin. 
 Three-quarters of a mile or so from Grove Hall brings 
 us to the intersection of Bowdoin and Harvard Streets. 
 After passing this, let us look sharply to the left as the 
 car slowly mounts the ascending road, and we will get at 
 one or two openings a picturesque view of Boston harbor 
 and its islands, and a view of the Atlantic Ocean, limited 
 only by the sphericity of the planet's surface. The 
 Second Parish Church (Congregational Trinitarian), and 
 the quaint old town-hall of Dorchester, are objects of 
 interest farther on. This central Dorchester route, 
 taken as a whole, is considered one of the pleasantest 
 of the hve-cent-fare routes from the city proper. 
 
 Let us now retrace our steps, or return by the car 
 over part of our road as far as the junction of Washing- 
 ton and Bowdoin Streets. From this point it will be 
 necessary to walk a short distance to the corner of Bow- 
 doin and Olney Streets. Here the blue-line cars may be 
 taken for Meeting-house Hill. There the soldiers' monu- 
 ment is an object of special interest. The church- 
 building of the First Parish (Congregational Unitarian, 
 Rev. Christopher A. Eliot, pastor) is here ; and almost 
 from the beginning of the settlement of Dorchester, that 
 is, for nearly two hundred and sixty years, there has 
 
84 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 been on this hill a place of worship. Hence the origin 
 of the name of the hill. The car may again be taken at 
 the hill for a ride to Upham's Corner. 
 
 At Upham's Corner is the old Dorchester Burial- 
 ground, noted as containing the oldest gravestones to be 
 found in the United States, excepting, possibly, some in 
 St. Augustine in Florida. The oldest Dorchester stones 
 are of 1638 and 1644. There are many quaint inscrip- 
 tions which are of great antiquarian interest. This was 
 the burial-place of several eminent public men of the 
 Colonial and Provincial periods. From Upham's Cor- 
 ner to the top of Jones's Hill extends Cushing Avenue. 
 It is a short and easy walk ; and the hill-top commands 
 one of the most extensive views in the vicinity of Boston. 
 To the northward are seen the old city and the renowned 
 Dorchester Heights, which are within the territory now 
 known as South Boston. To the westward opens an 
 amphitheatre of hills and villages, and to the southward 
 a wide and deep intervale, the famous Blue Hills of Mil- 
 ton being at the horizon. Near at hand in this direction 
 is seen Meeting-house Hill, where stand the Soldiers' 
 Monument and the First Parish Church. This is a 
 handsome wooden building, in the architecture of which 
 the Puritan style appears. The church organization 
 dates from 1030. To the eastward are distinctly dis- 
 cernible nearly all the islands of the harbor, the harbor 
 itself and its shipping, and the ocean in the extreme dis- 
 tance. Near at hand in an easterly direction may be 
 seen Savin Hill — a place of much natural beauty, and 
 which has an almost equally good outlook. From Up-

 ham's Corner we may return direct to Scollay Square by 
 the way of Mount Pleasant. 
 
 The handsomest street in Dorchester is Melville 
 Avenue, with its attractive modern houses. Near the 
 Harvard-Street station is Sunset Rock, around which 
 Gen. Washington had the fascines cut for fortifying 
 Dorchester Heights. 
 
 One who wishes to see upper Dorchester may take 
 the Old Colony Railroad for Milton Lower Mills. There 
 we find a pleasant and lively village on two sides of the 
 river, around Baker's chocolate-mills. From Lower Mills 
 we can return by horse-car, through Dorchester and 
 South Boston, to the city ( six miles ), almost as straight 
 as a bird flies. 
 
 ROUTE No. TEN- 
 
 IN SOUTH BOSTON. 
 
 South-Boston cars leave the city from Scollay Square, 
 from Brattle Street, near Adams Square, from Post- 
 Office Square, and from Park Square, in front of 
 the Providence-Railroad station. Through South Boston 
 the cars leaving the city proper from the above-mentioned 
 points pass over two routes. That through Broadway is 
 the pleasanter of the two. By either of them we can 
 reach City Point. Both skirt the shore to some extent, 
 and City Point is the common terminus. The ride up 
 Broadway is interesting, particularly so beyond Dorches- 
 ter Street. 
 
 The Point is one of the two chief places of interest for 
 the mere spectator, the other being Dorchester Heights. 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 87 
 
 It contains fine harbor views, with Fort Independence 
 close at hand, and yachting sights innumerable. This is 
 the greatest rendezvous for yachts, as respects numbers, 
 on the Eastern Massachusetts coast. There are other 
 places where yachts of large tonnage are more numerous. 
 Here are numerous seaside hotels and cafe's. Here, also, 
 is the new Marine Park, with its long promenade pier, 
 extending nearly to Fort Independence. Southerly the 
 view includes Dorchester, the Blue Hills, and parts of 
 Quincy. 
 
 While in this neighborhood it will be convenient for 
 one who is interested in matters pertaining to philan- 
 thropy or social science to visit some or all of the public 
 institutions, which are at no great distance ; namely the 
 School for Idiotic and Feeble-minded Children, at No. 
 723 East Eighth Street, the City Asylum for the Insane, 
 and the Suffolk-County House of Correction on First 
 Street. 
 
 At the Point we may take a return car, and alight at 
 the junction of Broadway and Emerson Streets, when 
 we shall be quite near to the building of that noble char- 
 ity of world-wide fame, the Perkins Institution for the 
 Blind. For many years it was presided over by the 
 chivalrous and learned Dr. Samuel G. Howe. It is 
 open to visitors on Thursdays from 11 A. M. to 1 P. M. 
 
 From this point the distance is short to the other place 
 of special interest to the spectator, the renowned Dor- 
 chester Heights. This summit has now, in popular speech, 
 the inglorious local name of Telegraph Hill, though it 
 is many years since it was used for marine-telegraphing

 purposes. The name of Dorchester Heights was dropped 
 soon after 1804, when a slice of Dorchester territory, 
 making what is now South Boston, was annexed to the 
 city. The fortification of these heights, by order of 
 Gen. Washington in 1776, compelled the British troops 
 to vacate Boston, and the British war-ships to leave the 
 harbor : hence the hill is sometimes called Mount Wash- 
 ington. The summit commands a view to the horizon in 
 all directions, taking in, of course, the old city, the sub- 
 urbs, and the harbor. 
 
 A short walk part way down the westerly slope of the 
 hill will bring us to the Carney Hospital, on Old Harbor 
 Street, another public institution of great excellence. It 
 is conducted by the Sisters of Charity, under the special 
 patronage of the Catholic community ; but Prot- 
 estants contribute liberally to its funds, and share its 
 benefits. 
 
 Thence the distance is short to the Eighth-Street line 
 of cars, and not long for a return to the Broadway line 
 of travel. By either route we can return to the neigh- 
 borhood of our starting-point from the city proper. 
 
 On the return-trip we can spend some time profitably, 
 if we are so disposed, in viewing the great foundries, 
 extensive refineries, and other noteworthy industries, im- 
 portant features of the South-Boston district. These are 
 located along the water-sides of the district. They em- 
 ploy large numbers of working-people. Famous among 
 them are the extensive works of the South-Boston Iron 
 Company, on Foundry Street. The buildings of this 
 great concern cover nearlv seven acres. The establish- 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. So, 
 
 ment is the most extensive of its kind in New England, 
 and its different shops are thoroughly equipped. Here 
 have been manufactured some of the most powerful ord- 
 nance and projectiles ever made in the country. These 
 works were founded by Cyrus Alger, the famous metal- 
 lurgist and inventor, who constructed the first perfect 
 bronze cannon for the United-States Ordnance Depart- 
 ment and for this State. The great sugar-refineries are 
 on Granite Street. 
 
 One of the most important street improvements has 
 been the extension of Broadway, by the new iron 
 bridge to Harrison Avenue. A walk over this 
 bridge to the city proper is a pleasant one. A 
 down-town car on Washington Street, a block beyond 
 Harrison Avenue, will bring us to the neighbor- 
 hood of our general starting-point, — Scollay Square. 
 We may also return by the Dover-Street Bridge, another 
 modern structure. The first bridge here, connecting the 
 Neck with South Boston, was built as early as 1804. 
 The South-Boston cars passing over the line terminating 
 in Park Square, in front of the Boston & Providence 
 Railroad Station, cross the Dover-Street bridge. 
 
 ROUTE No. ELEVEN- 
 
 IN EAST BOSTON. 
 
 East Boston is reached from Scollay Square by street- 
 cars, passing down Hanover Street, across the ferries. 
 The People's Ferry, farthest north, along the water- 
 front, is sometimes called the North Ferry ; and that 
 
go Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 from Commercial Street and Eastern Avenue is the 
 South Ferry. 
 
 Within the East-Boston District the first points of in- 
 terest are the great steamship wharves. These are to- 
 wards the south from the South Ferry. Here are the 
 Grand-Junction Wharves, where the railroad-lines are 
 brought to tide-water. The Cunard-Steamship Wharves 
 are near by. 
 
 The principal thoroughfares are Chelsea Street, run- 
 ning across the island, and Meridian Street, running 
 north and south. On Meridian Street, at the junction 
 with Border Street, a few blocks to the left of Chelsea 
 Street, is the largest park on the island, called Central 
 Square ; and to the left, on Webster, Sumner, Lamson, 
 and Seaver Streets, is the next largest square, called Bel- 
 mont Square. At the junction of Putnam, White, and 
 Trenton Streets, again to the left from Chelsea Street, is 
 Putnam Square ; and farther on, also to the left, at the 
 junction of Prescott, Trenton, and Eagle Streets, is 
 Prescott Square. 
 
 Among the chief attractions of East Boston are the 
 water-views from its high places, and one of the finest of 
 these is from Webster Street. 
 
 On Byron Street, corner of Homer, well out on the 
 island, is the Israelitish cemetery, the only one of its 
 class in Boston. 
 
 The line of the Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn 
 Railroad passes through East Boston ; and the drive to 
 the famous Point Shirley is across the island. 
 
 There are two lines of cars running from the 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to Sec It. gi 
 
 South End of Boston proper and the centre of the city to 
 the North Ferry — the Tremont-Street line, the cars of 
 which pass through Scollay Square ; and the Washing- 
 ton-Street line, of which the cars leave Washington Street 
 at the corner of Milk Street, pass through Post-Office 
 Square, Congress and Devonshire Streets, into Adams 
 Square, and thence again into Washington Street. The 
 ferry-fare for a single passage is one cent ; but a five- 
 cent horse-car ticket conveys the passenger to the ferry, 
 and from the opposite landing to any part of East 
 Boston where tracks extend. 
 
 Arrived at the East-Boston landing, we may step into 
 the car in waiting, and be taken in a few minutes to 
 Maverick Square, the most important business centre of 
 East Boston. For a visit to the great sugar-refinery, the 
 ocean-steamships, the sectional dry-docks, the largest of 
 the port of Boston, to the mammoth grain-elevators, or 
 to that point of observation, the high ground of Webster 
 Street, we should take horse-cars at the ferry, and ride 
 through the quiet streets of the Island Ward. But, to 
 escape pedestrian efforts, we may continue our car- 
 journey northerly through Meridian Street to Central 
 Square. 
 
 Here we have the alternative of two routes : that by 
 the way of Lexington Street will carry us to the vicinity 
 of the East-Boston reservoir of the public water-works. 
 Not far from that point is the Jewish burial-ground. 
 By continuing on Meridian Street we shall pass over 
 high ground, which will give us an excellent view of the 
 head of the harbor, Charlestown Navy Yard, and the 
 
Q 2 
 
 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 mouth of Mystic Kiver. The cars pass over the Merid- 
 ian-Street bridge into Chelsea. 
 
 On the return we may well get off at Central Square, 
 and pass into Border Street, for a visit to the extensive 
 Atlantic Iron Works, where all kinds of heavy iron 
 manufacture is done. Here iron steamships are 
 built or repaired, engines are constructed for sea-going 
 steamers of every size, and boilers, shafting, and other 
 steamship apparatus is produced. Much shipping of 
 heavy tonnage frequents East Boston, and the whole 
 westerly shore is bordered by deep water. 
 
 ROUTE No. TWELVE. 
 
 IN THE CHARLESTOWN DISTRICT. 
 
 At Scollay Square we can take street-cars for the 
 Charlestown District, either passing through the square, 
 or along the head of it, from Tremont into Cornhill. 
 Any car going to or through Charlestown will suit our 
 purpose. A convenient line is that marked "Bunker 
 Hill." . Passing over either of the bridges, the Charles- 
 River or Warren, we notice at the left the nests of rail- 
 ways, and at the right, on the Charlestown side, the 
 docks and elevator of the Hoosac-Tunnel Dock and 
 Elevator Company, at which freight brought from the 
 West by rail is shipped direct for foreign ports. 
 
 In City Square we might leave the car, and walk to 
 the Navy Yard and the Bunker-Hill Monument Grounds, 
 noticing, at the left of the square, the Waverley House, 
 and also the fine building in which are the Public Library 
 
Boston : What to Sec, and How to See It. 93 
 
 and the Municipal Court, which, before the annexation 
 of Charlestown to Boston, was the City Hall. 
 
 If we prefer to ride, the car — if a Bunker-Hill car — 
 will take us quite near to the Monument grounds, and 
 also direct to the Navy Yard. The latter has many 
 features of interest well worth visiting. The former, no 
 patriot who comes to Boston ever neglects. 
 
 We can pass through Winthrop Square on our way to 
 the Monument grounds, observing in the square the 
 Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument ( dedicated June 17, 
 1872 ). This was designed by the late Martin Milmore. 
 It represents the "Genius of America " holding laurel- 
 wreaths above the heads of the soldier and sailor stand- 
 ing on either side. This square was, in Colonial days, 
 the militia-field. 
 
 The grounds upon which the Bunker-Hill Monument 
 stands are, as will be seen, attractively arranged and well 
 cared for. The height of the obelisk is two hundred and 
 twenty feet. Inside the shaft is a spiral flight of stairs, 
 winding around a hollow cone; and at the top is an 
 observatory, with windows on each side. The view 
 from here is superb. The building at the base of the 
 monument contains a marble statue of Gen. Warren, and 
 various memorials of the battle ; and near the summit 
 of the hill a stone marks the spot where Warren fell. 
 The bronze statue of Prescott, standing in the main path 
 of the grounds, is one of the finest pieces of statuary 
 which the city can boast. It is by Story, and was un- 
 veiled on June 17, 1881.

 where the monument stands, is crowned by a Catholic 
 church. 
 
 Walking down Breed's Hill, passing into Main Street, 
 and continuing up that street, we soon come to a house 
 on the left, which is the oldest house now standing in the 
 Charlestown District, and one of the most famous. It 
 is known as the Edes House, from the family who built 
 it, and in whose possession it still remains Here was- 
 born Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor of the electric 
 telegraph. 
 
 Passing through Phipps Street, also to the left o£ 
 Main Street, we come to the ancient burial-ground, dat- 
 ing from 1642 — the earliest date, at least, found on the 
 gravestones. The rough granite monument to John 
 Harvard, the founder of Harvard College, who is buried 
 here, is the most conspicuous feature in the enclosure. 
 The grave of Thomas Beecher, ancestor of the famous 
 Beecher family in America, is also here. 
 
 Main Street extends to Somerville over Charlestown 
 Neck. Somerville was once a part of Charlestown. Street 
 and building improvements have caused the Neck to be 
 much widened beyond its original limits, but one who de- 
 sires to understand well the story of the Battle of Bunker 
 Hill should visit the Neck. Across this narrow pass the 
 British frigates stationed on Charles River kept cannon- 
 shot constantly flying during all the day and night of 
 June 17, 1775, and during the following day, until the 
 hill their troops had captured had been well fortified 
 against recapture. Through this cross-fire all American 
 reinforcements marched to the hill, and, on the return, 
 
96 Boston : ]] r liat to See, and How to Sec It. 
 
 the whole retreating army. Beyond the Neck, just with- 
 in the limits of Somerville, and fronting Main Street, 
 rose the hill long known as Mount Benedict. Here until 
 Avithin a few years were the ruins of a Catholic seminary, 
 popularly called the ' ' Nunnery, " which was destroyed by 
 a mob many years ago. The hill has been cut down in 
 recent years. 
 
 The historical celebrity of the place relates, however, 
 to the siege of Boston. The American troops retreating 
 from Bunker Hill, went as far as Prospect Hill in Som- 
 erville. At that time Mount Benedict was called 
 "Ploughed Hill." When Gen. Washington took com- 
 mand, the first important thing he did was to order 
 troops to advance and fortify Ploughed Hill. This was 
 done, and the British did not attack, except with cannon- 
 balls. Thereafter the Americans could also rake Charles- 
 town Neck. 
 
 On returning from the Neck the visitor may walk 
 through streets at the rear of the City Hall Building in 
 City Square, and look at the church on the site of the 
 earliest church, and, further down, the State Prison 
 buildings. 
 
 ROUTE No. THIRTEEN. 
 
 JAMAICA PLAIN, WEST-ROXBURY DISTRICT. 
 
 By this route we " do " the most rural of the outlying 
 districts of the city. Within it are elegant country 
 estates and charming rural homes, and the walks about 
 it are exceedingly pleasant. In this district, also, are 
 the great Franklin Park, yet to be improved, but already 
 
Boston : What to Sec, and How to Sec It. - 97 
 
 a most inviting place ; the Bussey Institution and Arnold 
 Arboretum, connected with Harvard University ; and 
 Forest-Hills Cemetery. The latter can best be reached 
 by steam-cars over the Providence Division of the Old 
 Colony Railroad ; and there are street-cars direct to 
 Forest Hills, through the Roxbury District, and to Frank- 
 lin Park by way of Oakland Garden, by the street-rail- 
 way. 
 
 Street-cars for Jamaica Plain start from the Tremont 
 House, Tremont Street, a short walk from our general 
 starting-point ( Scollay Square ). The ride out is directly 
 through Tremont Street and the South End. 
 
 At the Roxbury Crossing of the Providence Railroad, 
 just beyond the Roxbury station, Tremont Street turns 
 to the right. The Brookline cars here follow the line of 
 Tremont Street, while the Jamaica-Plain cars continue 
 almost straight ahead up Pynchon Street. 
 
 We are here in the midst of the breweries district. 
 Over to the right, across the railroad-track, we can see 
 the great Burkhardt and Vienna breweries. Burkhardt 
 was one of the pioneer German beer brewers of Boston 
 and vicinity. His brewery is the solid, substantial, 
 stone structure. The Vienna brewery is of brick, and a 
 more modern building. 
 
 As we enter Pynchon Street, we can see up Roxbury 
 Street, on the left, Prang's extensive art-establishment, 
 which we have already noticed in a previous route. Soon 
 we pass, also on the left, the immense brewery of John 
 Roessle — a fine structure of brick, with yards and out- 
 buildings well-kept, all wearing an air of substantial 
 
<jS Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 prosperity. Next to the Roessle brewery is that of Pfaff, 
 and, beyond that, the Norfolk brewery. Across the way, 
 at the right, on streets parallel with Pynchon Street, are 
 the great Highland Springs and Burton breweries. Far- 
 ther along, not to be seen from the car, but not a great 
 distance beyond, is the Boylston brewery. Others are 
 in this neighborhood. 
 
 At the left, up the hill, and through the trees, we can 
 see the graceful Cochituate stand-pipe, which we visited 
 in Route No. Eight. 
 
 At the junction ol Pynchon and Centre Streets the car 
 turns sharply to the right, passing over the bridge across 
 the Providence Railroad along Center Street, and into 
 Jamaica Plain of the West-Roxbury District. 
 
 If we choose to leave the car before turning into Cen- 
 tre Street, for a stroll, taking the next Jamaica-Plain car 
 which comes along, we can walk down Amory Street, 
 and into Codman Avenue at the left. In this neighbor- 
 hood are the Notre Dame Academy, under the direction 
 of the Sisters of Notre Dame ( the convent on Berkeley 
 Street, next the building of the Young Men's Christian 
 Association, Back-Bay District, is the novitiate of the 
 sisters ) : and the New-England Hospital for Women and 
 Children. The latter is a thoroughly equipped hospital, 
 having the services of a medical staff composed entirely 
 of educated and trained women physicians. It contains 
 medical, surgical, and maternity wards, maintains a dis- 
 pensary, and has a training-school for nurses, which has, 
 for several years, been recognized as one of the best and 
 most successful in the city. A large number of competent 
 
Bostoi : What to See, and How to Sec It. gg 
 
 nurses have been graduated from it. The hospital was 
 established in 1862. 
 
 As the Jamaica-Plain car passes into the West-Rox- 
 bury District along Centre Street, we get many glimpses 
 of pleasant views across the country on each side. The 
 hill off to the right is Parker Hill. From Parker Hill 
 one gets superb views of Boston, Cambridge, the har- 
 bor, and surroundings. On the hill is the Parker-Hill 
 Reservoir. The large brick building is the Lowell school- 
 house. 
 
 Centre Street soon turns sharply to the left ; and we 
 enter one of the most delightful of rural thoroughfares, 
 broad and well kept, the walks lined with trees, and on 
 each side of the roadway fine country estates. 
 
 The car continues along Centre Street to the junction 
 of that street with South Street, and then it takes the 
 line- of the latter, Centre Street branching off to the 
 right. 
 
 At the junction of these two streets is the Soldiers' 
 Monument, and opposite that, on South Street, Curtis 
 Hall, formerly the Town Hall. The monument is a 
 granite structure, in the Gothic style, terminating in a 
 pyramidal pedestal, on which stands the statue of a 
 soldier in a thoughtful attitude, leaning on his gun. The 
 monument was dedicated Sept. 14, 1871. 
 
 The car continues down South Street only a short dis- 
 tance, bringing up at the car-stables on the right. We 
 must now walk a mile or so along South Street, bearing 
 to the right, at the junction of Morton and Walk-Hill 
 Streets, if we would visit the Bussey Institution and the 
 
ioo Boston : What to Sfe, and How to Sec It. 
 
 Arnold Arboretum, and enjoy one of the most charming 
 parts of the outlying districts of the city. The Bussey- 
 Institution building stands on high ground, commanding 
 a superb view. This is the School of Agriculture and 
 Horticulture (organized 1870 ), connected with Harvard 
 College, established under trusts created by the will of 
 the late Benjamin Bussey ; and the grounds where it is 
 located were formerly a part of the Bussey estate. The 
 Arnold Arboretum is a part of the Bussey Institution, 
 and is the result of a bequest of a hundred thousand dol- 
 lars from the late James Arnold of New Bedford, to 
 establish a professorship of tree-culture. The Bussey 
 estate, which is now in the possession of the university, 
 comprises three hundred and sixty acres of great natural 
 beauty. The Arnold Arboretum has now become a part 
 of the magnificent chain of public parks from the Back- 
 Bay Park, in the Back-Bay District of the city proper, 
 to the charming Franklin Park, upon which work is 
 progressing under the direction of the Park Commis- 
 sioners. 
 
 Adjoining the grounds of the Bussey Institution is the 
 Adams Nervine Asylum ( first opened 1880 ), an institu- 
 tion designed to afford care and relief to debilitated and 
 nervous persons who are not insane. It was founded by 
 the late Seth Adams, who left property valued at half a 
 million dollars for its establishment and maintenance. 
 
 The walk along South Street, which twists and turns 
 beyond the Bussey Institution, is a delightful one, par- 
 ticularly in the summer-time. The scenery, with the 
 noble estates in the neighborhood, has an English tone. 
 
Boston : WJiat to See, and How to See It. ioi 
 
 We can continue along the street to its junction with 
 Washington Street (rather a long walk), returning on 
 that highway to the Forest-Hills station, where we can 
 take a return-car to the city proper by way of Forest 
 Hills and Egleston Square, passing through the Roxbury 
 District. Or we can retrace our steps back through 
 South Street to the junction of Morton and Walk-Hill 
 Streets, from which the Forest-Hills station on the Prov- 
 idence Railroad, and from which the Forest-Hills cars 
 direct to the city proper start, is but a few steps. Or 
 we can go all the way back South Street to the starting- 
 place of the Jamaica-Plain cars, returning to the city 
 proper by the route we took in going out. If we return 
 by way of the Forest-Hills cars, we can reach the New- 
 England Hospital for Women and Children on Codman 
 Avenue more directly than by the Jamaica-Plain car. 
 On the return by the Forest-Hills route, well down to- 
 wards the turn by Warren Street, we will notice the ex- 
 tensive street-car stables at the corner of Washington 
 and Bartlett Streets. 
 
 We can reach Jamaica Plain and the West-Roxbury 
 District quicker by the steam-cars on the Providence 
 Railroad than by the street-cars. If we take this way of 
 going out, we might be able to spend more time in strol- 
 ling about the place. One of the most charming of the 
 many walks in this district is that around Jamaica Pond. 
 
 Franklin Park covers over 500 acres between Jamaica 
 Plain and Dorchester, and is the largest member of the 
 great system of parks now being constructed in a broad 
 belt around the city. This park alone has cost over 
 
102 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 $2,125,000, and is visited by thousands of people every 
 pleasant summer-day. The most highly finished 
 section is around the Pla> stead and the Overlook, which 
 are approached by the Egleston-Square street-cars, 
 from Boston. 
 
 ROUTE No. FOURTEEN- 
 
 IN THE BRIGHTON DISTRICT AND BROOKLINE. 
 
 A feature of the Brighton District is Chestnut-Hill 
 Reservoir and the parkways about it. This can be 
 reached most directly by the Boston & Albany Rail- 
 road, station on Kneeland Street ; and out over Beacon 
 Street, the Mill Dam, and Beacon Street in the Brighton 
 District, is one of the famous drives out of the city. 
 
 The Brighton street-cars pass out of the city from 
 Bowdoin Square, and also from Park Square, near the 
 Providence-Railroad station. By taking them at the 
 former point, the passenger will cross the bridge to that 
 part of Cambridge called Cambridgeport, diverging from 
 Main Street, Cambridge, at Central Square. We shall find 
 this short jaunt through the edge of Cambridge to be 
 pleasant, especially if the day be warm ; for in crossing 
 the long bridge we get the refreshing breezes that come 
 from the waters of Charles River. We cross the river 
 at another point when we enter Brighton, this stream 
 being the boundary. Just before reaching this second 
 bridge we may observe on the right the great printing- 
 establishment of the " Riverside Press," the imprint of 
 which is familiar to readers of books in all parts of the land. 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It, 103 
 
 Soon after getting upon the Brighton side of the river 
 maybe seen the Beacon-Park race-course. Not much of 
 it is, indeed, visible from the cars, because of the high 
 board-fence. This is of itself a proof of the favor which 
 the course has on the part of lovers of swift horses, and 
 what ambitious climbing some of them are capable of to 
 get a view from the fence- top, or to enter the grounds 
 without paying. The height of the fence, while a little 
 in excess, is indicative of the intensity of this ambition. 
 
 Next we come to the comparatively modern village of 
 Allston, which seems to have surpassed the ancient ham- 
 let and business-centre of Brighton in respect to the 
 number of residences that closely stud the wayside and 
 adjoining territory. At Allston is one terminus of the 
 famous "mile-ground," mentioned above as one of the 
 popular pleasure-drives of the city, 
 
 About a mile beyond Allston we come to Brigh- 
 ton Centre. Here, on "market-days," is a scene of 
 great bustle and business, when the talk is wholly of 
 kine, sheep, and horses. 
 
 At a point a half-mile beyond this the street-railway 
 ends at Oak Square. A short and pleasant walk from 
 this point will bring us to the top of Bigelow Hill, 
 whence extensive views of the surrounding country may 
 be had. 
 
 From this point, if one would see the main features of 
 Brighton, he should walk down Faneuil Street to the 
 abattoir, or general slaughter-house, of the famous 
 Brighton Cattle-Market. Not every visitor, of course, 
 will be interested in such an establishment but one who

 is will find all the latest improvements and devices for

 bles, and for disposing of refuse in strict conformity to 
 the most approved sanitary regulations. 
 
 A street-car coming from the direction of Old Cam- 
 bridge will enable us to take passage from near the abat- 
 toir to Brighton Centre. Thence we may direct our 
 steps through Chestnut-Hill Avenue to the famous Chest- 
 nut-Hill Reservo'r, distant a little less than a mile ; or 
 we may take the street leading to that part of Brook- 
 line where the famous Corey Hill is situated, also 
 about a mile. This hill is doubtless the best outlook or 
 point of observation near Boston ; and, from its summit, 
 one may get a comprehensive, and, over a consider- 
 able part of it, a bird's-eye, view of Boston and the 
 most interesting of its environs. 
 
 ROUTE No. FIFTEEN 
 
 BROOKLINE AND CHESTNUT HILL. 
 
 The ride by electric cars to Chestnut Hill is, taking it 
 for all in all, the pleasantest excursion into the western 
 suburbs of the city. The cars leave the Tremont House 
 and follow Tremont Street to the end of the Common, 
 and then go up Boylston Street, along the Common and 
 Public Garden, past Trinity Church and the Museum of 
 Fine Arts and the new Public Library, and through some 
 of the pleasant parts of the Back Bay. A brief run 
 down West Chester Park shows the noble Norseman 
 statue, at the crossing of Commonwealth Avenue, and 
 
io6 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 then the great new Harvard bridge is seen, leading 
 across the Charles River to Cambridge. Near this fine 
 pontifical work the car swings around into the famous 
 and classic Beacon Street, and the Charles River soon 
 opens away on the right, and the unique park of the 
 Back-Bay Fens on the left. The fastest horses and 
 handsomest equipages in Massachusetts may be seen on 
 the next mile or so of road. Beyond the lowlands, the 
 car enters the wealthy and aristocratic old town of 
 Brookline, the most fashionable suburb of Boston, and 
 greatly developed of late years by enterprising land 
 companies. Near the entrance to Brookline, just to the 
 left of the track, is the idyllic village of Longwood, with 
 its patrician houses grouped around the Episcopal Church 
 of Our Savior. Beacon Street runs on over hill and 
 dale for miles, beautifully laid out with parkways, and 
 trees, and lawns, and with an imperial width, as recently 
 reconstructed by the West-End Land Company. This 
 noble avenue is generally known as the Boulevard, 
 and will in time become the finest street in New Eng- 
 land. On arriving at Chestnut Hill, there is much of 
 interest to see in the handsome driveway around the 
 reservoir, the luxurious estates on its borders, and 
 the colossal mechanism of the ] umping- works. A 
 short distance beyond, Beacon Street enters the rural 
 city of Newton, and reaches the village of Newton 
 Centre, where dwells the author of "My Country, 'tis 
 of Thee." 
 
 Another electric line leads from the Boulevard through 
 Harvard Street to Allston and Brighton.

 ROUTE No. SIXTEEN- 
 
 CAMBRIDGE AN.D HARVARD UNIVERSITY. 
 
 These most interesting localities are reached by street- 
 cars from Bowdoin Square or Park Square, every few 
 minutes. The ride to Harvard takes about half an 
 tour, and part of the route leads over the long bridge 
 crossing the Charles River, with pleasant views of the 
 patrician Back-Bay quarter on the left, across the water. 
 Harvard College was founded in 1636, by vote of the 
 Massachusetts-Bay Legislature ; and in 1633 received a 
 bequest of £700 and a library, from John Harvard, a 
 young clergyman just arrived in the colony. It now has 
 a vast property, with 261 instructors, and officers, and 
 2,079 students, in schools of arts, science, law, divinity, 
 medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine and agriculture. 
 
 Massachusetts Hall, built in 1720, served as a bar- 
 rack for American soldiers in the Revolution, and was 
 changed in 1870 from a dormitory to examination and 
 alumni halls. Harvard Hall, dating from 1765, has 
 lecture-rooms and a botanical cabinet. Hollis ( built 
 1763), Stoughton ( 1805 ), and Holworthy (1812) Halls 
 are occupied by students' rooms. Holden Chapel (1744), 
 pertains to the department of elocution. Thayer (built 
 in 1870 ), Weld ( 1872 ), Matthews ( 1872 ), Grays ( 1863 ), 
 and Sever ( 1880 ) Halls are handsome dormitories. The 
 white-granite University Hall ( 1815 ), has the offices of 
 the University. Wadsworth House (1726), was for 123 
 years the home of the president of Harvard, and at one 
 time served as Washington's head-quarters. The granite 
 
108 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Boylston Hall contains laboratories and mineralogical 
 cabinets ( open to visitors ). Gore Hall, a quaint Gothic 
 building, has the University library, of 240,000 volumes, 
 with many rare literary curiosities (open to visitors), 
 Appleton Chapel is the scene of the morning prayers and 
 University sermons. The grandest of all this group of 
 buildings is Memorial Hall, built in 1874, to commem- 
 orate the 95 Harvard men who fell in defence of the 
 Union, and bearing their names on marble tablets in its 
 great transept. Thence opens the magnificent dining-) 
 hall, where 700 students get their meals, surrounded by 
 memorial stained-windows and portraits and busts of 
 eminent men, by the foremost American artists. On the 
 other side of the transept is the Sanders Theatre, de- 
 voted to lectures and concerts, and the class-day and 
 commencement exercises. Memorial Hall is crowned by 
 a huge tower, 190 feet high, and visible for many miles. 
 Near the Hall is an ideal bronze statue of John Harvard. 
 Not far away is Divinity Hall, the home of the theolog- 
 ical school ; the great building of the Peabody Museum 
 of American Archaeology and Ethnology, with its un- 
 rivalled collections ; the Museum of Comparative 
 Zoology ; the Jefferson Physical Laboratory ; the Law- 
 rence Scientific School ; the beautiful Hemenway 
 Gymnasium ; and the home of the Law-School, Austin 
 Hall, a noble structure of sandstone. There are many 
 other buildings connected with the University ; and 
 within a short distance are the Botanic Garden and the 
 Astronomical Observatory. On Brattle Street, beyond 
 the University Press and the charming quadrangle of the 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. log 
 
 Episcopal Theological School, is the famous house for a 
 long season used by Gen. Washington as his head-quarters, 
 and later for many years the home of the poet Longfellow. 
 Further out on the same street is Elmwood, the home of 
 James Russell Lowell. Cambridge Common adjoins the 
 College grounds, and contains the Soldiers' Monument and 
 several trophy cannon won from the British ; and on one 
 side is the ancient tree under whose branches Washington 
 took command of the American Armies. Elsewhere in 
 Cambridge there are many interesting churches and pub- 
 lic buildings, and the homes of eminent scholars. 
 
 THE SUBURBS. 
 
 Many very interesting short trips may be made from 
 Boston, to the pleasant and historic old towns in the 
 neighborhood. The Eastern Division of the Boston & 
 Maine Railroad leads in half an hour to Lynn, famous 
 for its shoe-factories, and Salem, the home of the old East- 
 India trade and the scene of much of Hawthorne's life 
 and work. By this route, also, we may visit the famous 
 beaches of Nahant and Swampscott, or follow the coast 
 farther around to the Beverly and Magnolia shores, and 
 the beaches about Gloucester and Cape Ann. Nearer at 
 hand on this line, almost in the environs of Boston, is 
 quaint old Chelsea, with the long beach at Revere. The 
 Massachusetts Soldiers' Home is a noble institution on 
 the heights over Chelsea. 
 
 From the Lowell station we may visit Concord and 
 Lexington, the scenes of the earliest battles of the 
 
1 10 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Revolution, and see the old homes and graves of Haw- 
 thorne, Emerson, and Thoreau, at Concord. 
 
 The Albany Railroad leads, to the garden-city of New- 
 ton, with its cluster of beautiful villages ( see King's 
 illustrated Handbook of Newton ). Just beyond is Wel- 
 lesley, the seat of the great college for girls. The 
 Providence Road leads to the ancient shire-town of 
 Dedham, among the silvery windings of the upper 
 Charles River ; and to the summer-resort at Sharon. 
 The Old-Colony line crosses venerable Dorchester to 
 Quincy, the home of the Adamses, and reaches the 
 popular sea-side resorts in Hingham, Cohasset, and 
 Scituate ; Marshfield, the home of Daniel Webster ; 
 Duxbury, where Miles Standish dwelt and his lofty 
 monumental tower is seen ; and Plymouth, the landing- 
 place of the Pilgrims. These localities are described in 
 Sweetser's New England. 
 
 DOWN THE HARBOR. 
 
 All summer long a fleet of steamboats plies between 
 Boston and the villages and beaches on and near its 
 beautiful and historic harbor, Hingham, Hull, Nan- 
 tasket Beach and Nahant. The trip down to the sea- 
 side and back may be made in two hours, and is very re- 
 freshing and interesting. The route passes the great 
 docks at South Boston and East Boston ; Fort Independ- 
 ence, the oldest virgin fortress in the world ( now un- 
 garrisoned ) ; Fort Winthrop, the strongest defence of 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. in 
 
 the Puritan City . ( guarded only by a sergeant); Fort 
 Warren, near the harbor-mouth, with a garrison of 
 Federal artillerists ; and several other islands occupied 
 by light-houses, hospitals, and municipal and National 
 institutions. The legends, poetry, and descriptions of 
 these localities are set forth in King's illustrated Hand- 
 book of Boston Harbor, the best memento of this pro- 
 foundly interesting summer-day's journey. Passing the 
 lower fort at sunset, we may see its garrison-flag sink 
 downward from the staff, and hear the sunset-gun and 
 the song of the bugles, and in a moment we are back in 
 Virginia or Tennessee, " Tenting on the old Camp- 
 ground." 
 
 HACK AND CAB FARES, 
 
 AS REGULATED BY THE CITY ORDINANCES. 
 
 The rates of fares for public carriages of all descrip- 
 tions, including hacks, cabs, hackney-coaches, coupes, 
 etc., are strictly regulated by city ordinance; and an 
 official copy of these regulations is directed, by law, to 
 be kept in every such carriage, in a position where the 
 passenger can read it for his information. 
 
 This official copy, which is of considerable length, 
 states the whole case as concisely, doubtless, as it can be 
 phrased ; yet it requires some knowledge of the geog- 
 raphy of the city to apprehend all the points — that is, 
 all the permissions and restrictions which these regula- 
 tions provide. 
 
ii2 Boston : What to See, and How to See Jt. 
 
 In general it may be said, that the whole area of the 
 city is divided into districts ; namely, the City Proper, 
 Roxbury, West Roxbury, East Boston, South Boston, 
 Charlestown, Dorchester, and Brighton. 
 
 The fare for a single passenger, between six A M. and 
 midnight, from one point to another in the city proper, 
 is 50 cents in a hack, or 25 cents in a herdic ; from one 
 point to another in East Boston, in South Boston, in 
 Charlestown, or in Roxbury, it is the same ; and for 
 each additional passenger the price is 50 cents in a hack. 
 
 In Dorchester, West Roxbury, and Brighton, for a 
 single passenger, it is $1 ; and for two or more passen- 
 gers, 50 cents each. 
 
 Between midnight and six A. M., 50 cents may be 
 added to the regular fare in all cases 
 
 In coming from one district to another, the rates vary ; 
 and it is these variations, mainly, that give length to the 
 code of regulations, as officially printed. It will be well 
 for the stranger, in going from district to district, there- 
 fore, to make the price distinctly understood with the 
 hackman, or other driver, before starting ; as some of 
 these inter-district rates may seem to be high. 
 
 The driver is forbidden, by ordinance, to make a 
 special bargain or contract with a passenger for more 
 than the authorized rates ; though he may do so for 
 less. 
 
 Eor children between four and twelve years old, half 
 the regular fare is allowed in all cases. 
 
 No charge for one trunk is permitted, but 25 cents for 
 each additional one is allowed. 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 113 
 
 There is another "quirk" which the stranger may 
 well keep in mind, and that is the cab-fares. 
 
 Within the city proper these are, by the cab-card, 25 
 cents for each passenger ; and, in general, they are less 
 than the hack-fares to all points. 
 
 There are four varieties of cabs, popularly known as 
 Herdics, Standards, Gurneys, and Crystals. 
 
 The "Herdics" are cabs run by the Herdic Phaeton 
 Company. A part of these cabs are run twelve hours, 
 and a part twenty hours, each day. There are numer- 
 ous Herdic-cab stands in the city, located in the central 
 and busiest parts ; Herdics can also be called from the 
 streets, if not engaged, or by telephone, or otherwise, 
 from the company's office, No. 35 Congress Street. 25 
 cents extra is charged between 12 midnight and 6 A. M. 
 
 The Boston Cab Company have a great number of cabs, 
 landaus, broughams, coupes, and Victorias. Their drivers 
 wear a uniform of dark-green coachmen's coats and silk 
 hats, with white rubber coats and hats for rainy weather. 
 Their rates for shopping, calling, etc., are $1 an hour for 
 one-horse conveyances, $1.50 for two- horse conveyances 
 ( $1 for each hour after the first ) ; $1 for coupe for one or 
 two persons to the theatre and return ; $5 for two hours' 
 pleasure-driving with a two-horse landau or Victoria 
 ($1.50 each subsequent hour) ; $4 for two hours (and $1 
 for each subsequent hour) for one-horse Victorias, for 
 pleasure-driving. The fare for each passenger from any 
 railway-station as far as to Chester Square is fifty (50) 
 cents, ordinary baggage included. The same rates are 
 charged between any two points between Chester Square 
 
1 14 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 on the south and. the harbor and Charles River on the 
 north, west and east. New carriages are being added ; 
 and their new stable on West-Chester Park, corner New- 
 bury Street, is well worthy of a visit. The whole of the 
 Boston Cab Company's service is capitally organized and 
 directed. 
 
 The Armstrong Transfer messengers are found on all 
 through trains arriving in Boston, and afford the best of 
 facilities for the safe and speedy delivery of baggage to 
 hotels, offices, or residences, or for getting baggage at 
 houses, and delivering it at the railway stations or else- 
 where. The office is at 42 Summer Street. 
 
 The Boston Parcel delivery collects parcels left at the 
 Armstrong Transfer, or Boston Cab Company's offices, 
 and on the payment of ten cents each ( twelve for $1 ), 
 delivers them in any part of the city proper ( four deliv- 
 eries daily ).

 MAIL REGULATIONS. 
 
 THE POST OFFICE, ITS BRANCHES, ETC. 
 
 The number of towns and cities in New England for 
 which Boston is a centre of mail distribution is so great, 
 that any condensed statement of the hour of mail-closing 
 in the city is impossible. Where but one mail a day is 
 forwarded, the closing hour is, in almost all cases, in the 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. \ii 
 
 early morning, — 7 A. M., or earlier. The exceptions are 
 of obscure and remote towns, but every town of import- 
 ance has forwarded to it a morning mail. The majority 
 of them have also an afternoon mail, and some two or 
 three afternoon mails. 
 
 The central, or general, post-office has entrances on 
 Devonshire, Water, and Milk Streets. The South-End 
 post-office ( officially Station A ) is at corner Washington 
 and East Concord Streets The Roxbury post-office is at 
 No. 49 Warren Street. West Roxbury has three post- 
 offices : one on Green Street, opposite the Jamaica-Plain 
 railroad-station ; one at Centre Street, opposite Park 
 Street ; and a third at Roslindale railroad-station, corner 
 of Ashland and Florence Streets. The East-Boston post- 
 office is in Maverick Square. Charlestown, at No. 23 
 Main Street. South Boston, at No. 474 Broadway. 
 Brighton, at Brighton Centre. Dorchester has two post- 
 offices, — at Field's Corner, and Mattapan.

 A CARD. 
 
 The following sketch appeared in the Somerville Jour- 
 nal a few years ago, and with the necessary alteration of 
 a few figures to bring it up to date we reproduce it in 
 these pages as being, on the whole, a fair pen-picture of 
 our shops and their inmates in working order at this 
 time. As we began forty-one years ago, so we have con- 
 tinued, and so we propose to go on as long as we remain 
 in business. In face of the competition that distin- 
 guishes the sharp business methods of to-day, the publi- 
 cation of some such statements as this article contains is 
 due to us as business men of such long standing. In 
 thus taking the public behind the scenes, as it were, we 
 hope not to be misunderstood. We ask for appreciation, 
 but not for praise ; and those who know our goods and 
 our house best will admit that we have claims to recog- 
 nition on the lines of equitable dealing with our helpers 
 as well as with our customers, and that we may right- 
 fully assert those claims by a fair presentation of our 
 business methods. In no other way can we state and 
 explain our position as manufacturers of high-grade 
 ready-made clothing, which we must sell at a price in 
 some degree commensurate with its cost. 
 
 When the article first appeared, it was extensively 
 copied by the press, and made its impression accord- 
 ingly. It put us right with the public at that time. We

 make no apology for its appearance now, and invite all 
 people interested in the welfare of wage-workers to read 
 it and then inspect the premises it describes, and form 
 their own conclusions.

 AN INDUSTRIAL SKETCH. 
 
 Some fifty years ago the conditions and surroundings 
 of the Lowell factory girls excited the attention of no less 
 a personage than Charles Dickens. Among the evi- 
 dences of their material prosperity, as well as of their 
 intellectual development, was the publication by them- 
 selves of a handsomely-printed magazine called The 
 Lowell Offering, and it was not then and is not now a 
 matter of surprise that the great English author and 
 philanthropist — with his vivid memory of the pale and 
 haggard faces of shop and mill-girls he had left at home 
 — should express in terms of admiration his views of the 
 healthy and tidy young women, who not only supported 
 a fairly good literary monthly by their subscriptions, 
 but who also furnished from their own ranks the writers 
 for its columns ; and all this, too, in many cases, while 
 paying off a mortgage on the distant homestead where 
 first they saw the light of day or adding monthly to a 
 satisfactory bank account. But this ideal state of affairs 
 did not, and from the nature of things in this wide, wide 
 
126 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 world of sharp and cruel competition, could not endure 
 many years on any very broad and extended basis. The 
 hopes that Dickens and others felt and expressed for the 
 permanency and spread of this phenomenal prosperity, 
 have failed of realization. A senseless craze for goods 
 nominally cheap and correspondingly inferior soon de- 
 moralized buyers and manufacturers and markets, and 
 the inevitable corollary of "hard times" and "dull sea- 
 sons " followed in due course. It was only a question of 
 time. It is safe to say that very few shop or factory 
 operatives of the gentler sex now write for magazines or 
 have surplus funds to lend to anybody. 
 
 But fortunately there are lights as well as shadows in 
 every picture. There are yet some manufacturing estab- 
 lishments that revive the more agreeable reminiscences 
 of old times. Their rare example justifies us in furnish- 
 ing a description of one of them, the founders of which, 
 like the Lowell factory managers of fifty years since, be- 
 lieve in and practice the adage of " Live and Let Live." 
 The house of 
 
 MACULLAR, PARKER AND COMPANY 
 
 has on its pay-rolls this week the names of 577 employes. 
 We are indebted to the foremen and forewomen of the 
 different departments for the figures given. Of this 
 number two-thirds are women workers, trained to the 
 needle, and specialists in some one or another of the 
 different branches of the tailoring trade. They are swift 
 and skillful, and easily take first rank in all matters of 
 needle-work requiring taste and quick expedition. These 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 127 
 
 female operatives occupy five different halls or shops, 
 the two larger of which are 100x45 feet each. The 
 others are about one-half this size, respectively. In 
 entering these shops we failed to detect any signs of im- 
 perfect ventilation. The air was as pure as is practi- 
 cable within city walls, as whatever appliances would 
 tend to secure frequent atmospheric changes had been 
 devised by the architect and supplied by the builder, who 
 were given carte blanche as to time and money in their 
 efforts to secure a model building on modern sanitary 
 lines. The area of surface devoted to admitting light is 
 ample, also, and there is not a dark or shaded corner 
 where the workers sit. In these two important, but often 
 neglected matters of ventilation and light, we note a 
 great contrast to many other establishments ; and, in our 
 estimation, these employes will have length added to 
 their days of life from breathing the fresh air and enjoy- 
 ing the sunlight that floods in so freely through openings 
 in walls and roof. One of the two passenger elevators is 
 reserved for their accommodation, and was, we noticed, 
 pretty generally used at the dinner hour by such as went 
 out at that time ; but many who reside outside of city 
 limits find means to secure a dinner without leaving the 
 building. No difficulties beset the tea-maker ; and the 
 facilities for roasting potatoes, as well as for the transac- 
 tion of other minor jobs of cookery, are co-extensive 
 with the niches or ovens for heating the pressing irons. 
 Many of the tea-drinkers that we observed would, in 
 point of personal appearance and attractions, probably 
 far outrank Mrs. Crupp, the lady who presided at David 
 
128 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 Copperfield's table. It will be remembered that Mrs. 
 Betsey Trotwood, among other reasons for criticism, did 
 not like her style of "pouring out." We, having had no 
 opportunity to accept an invitation from the devotees of 
 Bohea or Oolong who form the subject of this sketch, 
 can give no opinion as to the quality of their beverage or 
 the graces displayed in its dispensation ; but doubtless 
 everything was up to the Trotwoodian standard. To all 
 appearances these impromptu lunches were heartily en- 
 joyed, and everything about them was as neat and nice 
 as though they were served at home. Everything about 
 the shops is on a generous scale for the daily indoor 
 needs of self-respecting and intelligent women. Let the 
 reader imagine a hall with an area of 4,500 feet, with a 
 height of 16 feet, where perhaps one hundred semp- 
 stresses are seated at work, each with an ample margin 
 of space, and no disagreeable sights or sounds to offend 
 her sense of propriety and taste. Everything goes on 
 like clockwork from morning till night. Prompt weekly 
 payments, reasonable hours of labor, strict observance of 
 holidays without impairment of salary, and satisfactory 
 wages are, with such a house, a matter of course. Then 
 imagine three other departments of the same general 
 character ; and these in addition to one other special 
 apartment, where the appointments must be strictly in 
 keeping with the character of the work there performed, 
 — where twenty-five young women, selected for capacity 
 above the average, are employed year in and year out in 
 making the elegant summer vests, prescribed by fashion 
 and comfort for hot weather wear, and thus handling 
 
Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 129 
 
 fabrics that must not be touched by fingers soiled in the 
 least, and turning out work that is as nice and choice as 
 any required by the modistes of Paris. Imagine all that 
 can be implied in the condition of a little commonwealth 
 of cheerful and contented working women, and then visit 
 the shops we are describing for a realization of your 
 thoughts. 
 
 Each one of these needle workers has her station and 
 rank, and the force is divided off into fitters, basters, 
 stitchers, collar-makers, pocket-makers, edge-makers, 
 button-hole makers, press-women ( for white vests only ), 
 inspectors, finishers, forwarders, etc., etc., each garment 
 passing through some fourteen different hands before it 
 is pronounced ready for the salesroom. This division 
 and sub-division of labor makes the work comparatively 
 easy and less perplexing, and no one is asked to go out- 
 side of the specialty for which she is trained. Any gar- 
 ment or part of a garment can be traced to the person at 
 work upon it in a moment. There are bookkeepers in 
 every room, and they charge the job to one and to 
 another, as it approaches completion. They never fail 
 to account for every inch of cloth that comes from the 
 cutters' department. The services of thirty button-hole 
 makers are often required, and at some seasons more are 
 taken on for a few weeks. We may mention, in passing, 
 that 179 men are employed by the firm in all departments. 
 One of the cutters has remained thirty-eight years ; 
 others have worked almost as many, and long service is 
 the rule which has very few exceptions throughout the 
 building. It would seem that the founders of this house, 
 
1 30 Boston : What to See, and How to See It. 
 
 who have given direction to its business for more than 
 forty years, and the younger element taken into the firm 
 from time to time by promotion from the different de- 
 partments, are quietly and effectually illustrating that 
 much can be done to elevate the condition of women who 
 work for wages. To stand between these women and the 
 fluctuations of trade — in hard times and dull seasons — 
 is the point aimed at and attained. 
 
 We have been told of acts of special kindness to indi- 
 viduals — of pensions to veterans who have passed their 
 hour of usefulness ; but of these we may not make fur- 
 ther mention. Placed in a position to hear the truth 
 from the recipients themselves, we have felt justified in 
 thus simply outlining as much of their experience as 
 appears in this concluding paragraph. Beyond this we 
 dare not go. 
 
 SPECIAL TRIPS TO HISTORIC LANDMARKS- 
 
 A visit to Boston and its immediate vicinity is an 
 "object lesson " in New-England history and American 
 literature. The ample pages thus opened to the stranger 
 within our gates is not only "rich with the spoils of 
 time," but is also accessible with comparatively little ex- 
 penditure of trouble or money. In this view, and for 
 the special information and use of tourists from other 
 States, we append a carefully-arranged itinerary of 
 places of interest, prefaced with the statement that if any 
 or all of the following books can be read in advance, the
