emained to our day,--Broad street, from Batterymarch to Federal street, being substantially the boundary. A sharp turn was made at the junction of Federal and East streets, and the South Cove stretched due west about to Washington street, near Essex street, and wholly north of Beach street. Turning southerly again, the South Cove ran parallel with Washington street, at a distance which allowed but a single houselot in depth up to Dover street, and beyond. Crossing Washington street at Dover, and journeying north, we find the Back Bay sweeping almost to the street, then widening out towards the north-west, parallel to, but outside of, Pleasant street. Then the Back Bay curved inland, covering the Public Garden and Parade Ground, while Boylston and Tremont streets marked the lines of occupancy Above, rose Beacon Hill, uncrossed by any path, and effectually ending the town in that direction. Tremont, Court, and Cambridge streets wound around its base, the high water-line crossi

Cambridge, Green, and Leverett streets had a beginning then, and Hanover street was well defined, Elm street meeting Washington street at the Town Dock. Governor Winthrop, and many of the leaders of the community, were assigned house-lost near the Old South Church, and this became one centre of population. Another colony was planted on the northern peninsula, and Hanover street and its branches were occupied by various notabilities. In the first book of our records, only one street, Sudbury, is designated by name. The High street, or the way leading towards Roxbury, designated Washington street. Other ways were: To the Mill Cove, from Cove to Cove, to the Fort, to the Bridge, to John Barrett's, to Century Hill, etc. A careful study of the methods pursued in laying out our primitive highways, with the many changes and improvements made from the beginning, will serve to present a very correct and interesting topographic view of the Town and City of Boston in its growth and p

e Lowell street, and reached nearly to Hanover street. The water crossed Gouch and Pitts streets at half their length, and crossed Sudbury street, between Bowker and Portland streets. Where Blackstone street now is, there was a canal connecting the Mill Pond with the Town Dock (where the market now stands), rendering the North End an island. Hanover street then, as now, was the main avenue north-easterly through Salem street; it was laid out at an early date, skirting the west side of Copp's Hill. Boston was built originally upon the narrow reaches of level land lying at the foot of its three hills, bordering on the numerous coves and arms of the sea which environed it. The Book of Possessions, which may have been prepared within fifteen years of the settlement of the town, and certainly in less than twenty-five years of that date, gives us the proof that a certain number of highways had been established. Although no regular names were given to these streets at that time, n
