THE MEMORIAL HISTORY OF BOSTON.

An outline map of Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay is contained in a series called Charts of the Coast and Harbors of New England, by J. F. W. Des Barres, from Surveys by Samuel Holland and his Assistants, who have been employed on that service since the year 1764.

1775. Scat of War in New England by an American Volunteer, with the Marches of the several Corps sent by the Colonics towards Boston, with the attack on Bunker Hill. London, Sayer and Bennett, Sept. 2, 1775. (18 × 151/2 inches.) It extends from Lower New Hampshire to Narragansett Bay, and west to Leicester. It was reproduced in the Centennial Graphic, 1875.

On the same sheet are two marginal maps, - Plan of Boston Harbor (572 × 6 inches) ; and Plan of Boston and Charlestown, - the latter showing pictorially the battle of Bunker Hill in progress, and the town burning, - (51/2 × 12 inches). It seems to fol- low for Boston the London Magazine map, and is fac-similed in W. W. Wheildon's New History of the Battle of Bunker Hill, 1875 ; also in the accounts and memorials of the battle prepared by David Pulsifer, James M. Bugbee, and George A. Coolidge. It also very closely resembles the following : -

The Charlestown peninsula represents the town burning, and the British troops advancing to attack the redoubt. This map appeared in An impartial History of the War in America, Boston : Nathaniel Coverley and Robert Hodge, MDCCLXXXI. vol. i .; and in the second (1782) Newcastle-upon-Tyne edition of a book, published in London, of a like title, the first English edition having appeared in 1779.

Lodge for the late Mr. Jefferys, geographer to the King. (25 X 1734 inches.) In Charlestown it shows the " Redoubt taken from ye rebels by General Howe," with the British camp on Bunker Hill. It includes Governor's Island, and takes in the Cambridge and Roxbury lines. It bears this address : "To the public. The principal part of this plan was surveyed by Richard Williams, lieutenant at Boston, and sent over by the son of a nobleman to his father in town, by whose permission it is published. N. B .- The original has been com- pared with, and additions made from, several other curious drawings."

INTRODUCTION.

1775. To the Honl. Fno. Hancock, F.sq., . . . this Map of the Seat of Civil War in America is . . . inscribed by . .. B. Romans. It extends from Buzzard's Bay to Salem, from the ocean to Leicester. (15 × 17 inches.) It contains also a marginal Plan of Boston and its Environs, 1775 (3 × 3/2 inches), showing the circumvallating lines. In the lower right-hand corner is a small view (1 × 61% inches) of The Lines thrown up on Boston Neck by the Ministerial Army. The key reads : " 1, Boston ; 2, Mr. Hancock's house ; 3, enemy's camp on Me [?] Hill; 4, block house ; 5, guardhouses; 6, gate and draw-bridge ; 7, Beacon Hill."

1775. An inaccurate map of Boston and environs (10X4 × 8 inches), made in June, 1775, and published, Aug. 28, 1775. in Almon's Remembrancer, i. It gives the head- quarters of the opposing forces, their camps, lines, etc. The second edition of the first volume of Almon contained a map giving forty miles about Boston, a plan of the town, and a map of the vicinity.

1775. A small Map of Boston and Vicinity, after one made during the British occu- pancy, is given in Harper's Monthly, June, 1873, in an article by B. J. Lossing, describing some views of Boston in the collection of Dr. Thomas Addis Emmet of New York.

1775. Boston and circumjacent Country, showing present situation of the King's Troops, and the Rebel intrenchments. July 25, 1775. (1634 × 17 inches.) A fac-simile of this, from the original manuscript owned by Mr. Charles Deane, is given in the Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., April, 1879.

1775. A draught of the Harbor of Boston, and the adjacent towns and roads, 1775, is the inscription on a manuscript map (12 × 9 inches) in the Belknap Papers, i. 84, in the Massachusetts Historical Society's cabinet.

1775. Plan of Dorchester Neck, made for the use of the British Army, given in T. C. Simond's Ilistory of South Boston, p 31. The History of Dorchester, p. 333, speaks of a map (of which an engraving is given) drawn by order of the British general, showing nine houses on the Neck, as being in the Massachusetts Historical Society Library ; but it can- not now be found. Simond's map was simply drawn from Pelham's, with names added.

1775. Boston and Vicinity, following Pelham for the country and Page for the harbor (13 × 9/2 inches), was compiled by Gordon for his American Revolution, in 1788

1775. Boston and Vicinity, 1775-1776 ; engraved for Marshall's Washington ; Phila- delphia, C. P. Wayne, 1806. (8}{ × 134 ) It follows Gordon's, and was reduced for subsequent editions. A wood-cut of a similar plan is given in Lossing's Field-book of the Revolution, i. 566. See also Carrington's Battles of the American Revolution, p. 154.

1775. Map of Boston and Vicinity. It is an eclectic map, showing the lines of cir- cumvallation, and was engraved for Sparks's Washington, iii. 26, and is also given in the Boston Evacuation Memorial, 1876. It was followed in Guizot's Washington, and in Bryant and Gay's United States, iii. 427.

1775. Boston and its Environs in 1755 and 1776 (64 × 9 inches). Shows the har- bor and the lines of circumvallation. An eclectic map, engraved for Frothingham's Siege of Boston, p. 91.

1775-1776. BRITISH LINES ON BOSTON NECK. Several plans are preserved. The main defence was at Dover Street, the outer works being near the line of Canton Street. A manuscript plan, - "the courses, distances. etc., taken from the memorandum book of a deserter from the Welch Fusileers," - is preserved in the Lee Papers, belonging to the American Philosophical Society of Philadelphia, and of this a description is given in the Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., April. 1879, p. 62. A reduced fac-simile is given in Dr. Hale's chapter. It has an explanatory table of the armament in the hand of Colonel Mifflin, Washington's aid, and is signed T. M. A plan nearly duplicate, sent by Washington to Congress (Force's American Archives, fourth series. p. 29), is copied by Force (p. 31), and is reproduced in Wheildon's Siege and Evacuation of Boston. Cf. Trumbull's Au- tobiography, p. 22, where it is mentioned that Trumbull, an aid to General Spencer, who

had made a sketch of the works, by crawling up under cover of the tall grass, had hoped by this means to recommend himself to the Commander-in-Chief. " My further progress was rendered unnecessary," he adds, "by the desertion of one of the British artillery- men, who brought out with him a rude plan of the entire work. My drawing was also shown to the General ; and their correspondence proved that, as far as I had gone, I was correct. This (probably) led to my future promotion." In the Pennsylvania Magazine, Aug. 1775, is an Exact Plan of General Gage's Lines on Boston Neck in America .. (9 X 111/2 inches.) The scale is a quarter of a mile to 4}} inches. It gives both the outer and inner lines. In the text a statement is made of the guns mounted, ending, - " This is a true state this day, July 31, 1775." A drawing of the British lines on the Neck, dated August, 1775, is in the Faden collection of maps in the Library of Congress. An engraved view is given in heliotype in Dr. Hale's chapter. A somewhat rude delineation of the lines on a contemporary powder-horn is noted in Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., June, 1881.

1776. Chart of Massachusetts Bay and Boston Harbor ; published, April 29, 1776; extends from Cape Ann to Cape Cod. It appeared in the Atlantic Neptune, dated Dec. 1, 1781. According to Shurtleff, one edition of this map is dated May, 1774. It also appeared, with the earlier date, in Des Barres' Charts of the Coast and Harbors of New England, 1781. W.P. Parrott in 1851 issued a reproduction of the Des Barres map of the harbor.

1776. Chart of Boston Bay; published Nov. 13, 1776. Takes in Salem, Scituate, and Watertown. (39 X 301/2 inches.) The surveys were made by Samuel Holland. As appearing in the Atlantic Neptune, 1780-83, it is dated Dec. 1, 1781, and signed by J. F. W. Des Barres. It is also included in Des Barres' Charts of the Coast and Harbors of New England, 1781. The Back Bay is called " Charles Bay."

1776. There is in the Massachusetts Historical Society's Cabinet a rudely drawn map of the harbor and adjacent parts (8 × 71/2 inches), in which the positions of the American forces are given. The Continental army is put at twenty thousand, and the Royal forces in the town at eight thousand.

1776. The North American Pilot for New England, etc., from original surveys by Captain John Gascoigne, Joshua Fisher, Jacob Blamey, and other Officers and Pilots in His Majesty's Service. London, Sayer and Bennett, 1776. This contains a chart of the harbor of Boston, with the soundings, etc. (34 X 21 inches). The course up the chan- nel, from below Castle William, is marked by bringing the outer angle of the North Battery in range with "Charlestown tree," which stands on the peninsula, inscribed " Ruins of Charlestown." Harvard College Library has the volume, and the loose map is in the Massachusetts Historical Society Library, and in the Public Library. Cf. Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., Sept. 1864. A second edition, 1800, is also in the College Library, and has the same map.

1784. Plan of the Town of Boston (9 × 6 inches). This map is interesting as show- ing the outline of the "tri-mountain" in relation to the streets of 1784, when the original elevation had not been materially changed. It appeared in the Boston Magazine, October, 1784, accompanying a Geographical Gasetteer of Massachusetts, which was originally issued in instalments in that magazine. The original is in a copy of the magazine in the Boston Public Library. It was re-engraved in the New York edition (1846) of A Short Narra- tive of the Horrid Massacre, and in Kidder's History of the Boston Massacre, Albany, 1870. It resembles the London Magazine map of 1774.
