the bottom of the glen, and, like the spirit of devotion, found an echo in every heart, and pervaded the whole scene. Some account of Mount Auburn itself, as it existed at this stage of its history, may with propriety be here introduced. The tract of land which bears this name, is situated on the Southerly side of the main road leading from Cambridge to Watertown, partly within the limits of both those towns, and distant about four miles from Boston. Formerly it was known by the name of Stone's Woods, the title to most of the land having remained in the family of Stones from an early period after the settlement of the country. Mr. Brimmer made purchase of the hill and part of the woodlands within a few years, chiefly with the view of preventing the destruction of the trees, and to his disinterested love of the beautiful in nature, may be attributed the preservation of this lovely spot. The first purchase of the Society included between seventy and eighty acres, extending from

Adams, Historian of the Jews, and Reviewer of the Christian Sects, this is erected by her Female Friends. First tenant of Mount Auburn, she died Dec. 15th, 1831, aged 76. On Beech Avenue will be seen a monument erected by S. F. Coolidge, with the inscription, The gift of God is eternal life. On the same Avenue is Dr. J. Bigelow's,--a round unfinished column of marble, with a festoon of olive leaves hung about it near the top; and farther onward two granite obelisks, with the names of Stone, and Stephens. This brings us to Cedar Avenue, where we find the name of Melzar Dunbar on one stone, and that of Lienow on another,--the latter an unfinished column, like Dr. Bigelow's. Stillman Lothrop. Peacefully shaded by this oak, sleeps Eliza Ann Lothrop, who died Dec. 7th, 1835, in the 19th year of her age. Her life was free from guile, Her trust was in Christ. On Poplar Avenue, the stranger's eye will be arrested by the monument of McLellan, railed in (as are many o
