Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketch of the Cities of Boston and Cambridge Boston, in Suffolk County, the capital of the State of Massachusetts, and the second city in commerce, wealth, banking capital and valuation, in the United States of North America. It lies at the bottom of Massachusetts Bay, and is one of many pear-shaped peninsulas formerly attached to the mainland only by narrow marshy necks, which fringed the shores of the Bay. The Charles River, once more than double its present width, divides it from the similar promontory of Charlestown (the site of the Battle of Bunker Hill), on the other side of which the Mystic River, uniting.with the Charles, flows into the harbor. The latest determination gives the latitude of Boston, 42 2´ 27.6" north, and 5 59´ 18" east longitude from Washington, and 7l 3´ 30" west from Greenwich. When it is noon in Boston it is four o clock forty-four minutes and fourteen seconds at Greenwich, and thirty-six minutes past eleven at Washington, which is distant by railroad four hundred and fifty miles.
