At this time '82 was rowing 32 strokes to a minute; '83, 31 strokes; '84, 30 1/2, and '85, 30. At the pump '82 was still ahead, but '83 was spurting and making...

In fact, we can conceive of no higher pleasure of the kind than tracing out the locality of Hawthorne's famous "Town Pump," Longfellow's "Wayside Inn," Copp's Hill or the Old Granary Burying-Ground, Church Green, Webster's, Franklin's, or Hancock's old mansions. The razing of Fort Hill; the loss of the famous Brattle Street Church, with its British cannon-ball buried in its face; of the Paddock elms; of that perfect monument of Colonial...
