Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New England Gazetteer, 1857: Containing Descriptions of the States, Counties, Cities and Towns in New England; Also, Descriptions of the Principal Mountains, Rivers, Lakes, Capes, Bays, Harbors, Islands, Fashionable Resorts, Etc., Within That Territory, Alphabetically Arranged Countries and regions, therefore, of any special interest and importance, require separate and local Gazetteers. And what portion of the country more emphatically demands this than New England? Her limits constitute the natural and sufficient boundaries of such a field; her people are eminently a homogeneous and peculiar people; a kind of patriarchal and moral alliance binds in one her little family of common wealths; a hoary antiquity is beginning to settle on her reli gions, educational, and civil institutions; and so long and so freely has she been sending out her sons to subdue the wil derness and people new territories, that she is extensively loved and honored in all the newer States as the old hive and homestead of the nation. To do any justice to her constantly developing resources requires a good-sized volume. Her enterprise is continually bringing about changes and improve ments, which need to be chronicled almost from year to year. N 0 New Englander, whether happily settled amid the com panions and scenes of his early days, or having taken up his home in the West or South, far or near. But feels a desire to be fully informed of the progress and prospects, the actual condition and probable future, of his native town or region.
