Book excerpt: Excerpt from Appendix to the History of Vermont, Natural, Civil and Statistical, 1853 When the History of Vermont, to which this is an Appendix, was published, in 1842, the boundary line between the United States and the British provinces was um settled, and in dispute between the two governments but in the latter part of the summer of that year, the matter was ami eably arranged by a treaty, formed by Mr. Webster and Lord Ashburton, and ratified by the two governments. The northern boundary of the state was intended to be along the 45th parallel of latitude, and was supposed to be on that parallel till the sur. Vey of 1818 proved the 45th parallel to be some distance to the southward of what had been previously regarded as the northern boundary of the state, cutting off a strip through the whole width, varying from one-fourth of a mile to a few rods. By the treaty, the northern boundary of the state was established upon the old well known line, without reference to the 45th parallel. This line was marked in 1845, by cutting away the timber, where it passed through forests, and by putting up cast iron posts at short distances through its whole length.
