Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Description of Brunswick, (Maine)in Letters And while I am learning to eradicate youthful error, shall I not stay till I can bring a complete vindication of this intelligent, enterprising, and industrious people? In my last I informed you of the polite attentions, I received from the gentlemen of Portland, Bath, Wiscassett, Hallowell, and other places. Though my stay has been longer here, I have uniformly enjoyed "the feast of reason, and the flow of soul." Wherever I have travelled in this interesting section of the great American republic, our native Charleston has been complimented for urbanity of manners: here I can respond the sentiment with all my heart, - but I must hasten to portray as well, as my feeble powers will allow, the enchanting scenery of this delightful place, that exhibits so singular a combination of the beautiful and sublime. Brunswick lies in Lat. 43. 54. N. Lon. about 69. 59. W. from Greenwich. It is bounded on the N. by the Androscoggin river and Merrymeeting bay, where it unites with the Kennebec at right angles; E. by Bath and New Meadow river, which separates it from Bath; S. by Harpswell, Middle bay, and Maquoit bay; SW. by Freeport; W. by Durham. Its greatest length may be about thirteen miles. Its breadth on its western line is four miles and a half; from the Androscoggin to Maquoit bay three and a half; in other places more, on account of the arms of land, that project into the sea. The entrance into Brunswick in every direction is peculiarly striking and novel. As you approach it from the north, when within about half a mile of the river, the villages of Topsham and Brunswick burst like magic upon your view.
