on such historic ground as Prospect hill is singularly appropriate. Always during his business and editorial life he was a busy writer. His object seemed to have been to instruct and interest the young people. His first marked success was the series of Historic Boys and Historic Girls, which originally appeared in the St. Nicholas Magazine in 1885 and 1886. His first book was written as a labor of love, and presented the life of his father, who died in 1876. The volume was published in 1881. The titles of other volumes which he has placed before the public, and which have been read so widely, are as follows: In Leisler's Times, In No Man's Land, Storied Holidays, The American Indian, The Story of the American Sailor, The American Soldier, Chivalric Days, The True Story of the United States of America, The True Story of Christopher Columbus, A Boy of the First Empire, The Century Book for Young Americans, The Children's Lives of Great Men, The True Story of George Washington,

This house is the only building standing in Somerville, if not in Medford, that stood along the turnpike originally. It is still owned by members of the Perkins family. Concerning the old mill which had been operated by George Cutter for some years, Wilson Quint had bought the property a short time before this. I knew him well. Up to the time of the purchase Mr. Quint had never run a tide-mill, and had little idea of the amount of unseasonable and uncomfortable labor attending it. The
