prominent in Boston and C. '"Tlie science of Civil Engineering was almost unknown
to anv one in this part of the country, and * * many dithculties " were met with •' for

the Canal, from the Charles to the Merrinnic, was navigable in 1803. The income had
to be used for renewals, alterations, etc., "and no dividend could be or was declared until
Feb. 1, 18I1J." One hundred assessments were laid, Jan. 1794 to Sept. 1, ISlt), making
each share cost, with interest, $1,455, and the whole work $l,lti4,200. Twenty-live
dividends were paid, the last ,Jau. 30, 184:!, averaging l^rfo per cent per year. In 1830

In this work, and two publications mentioned 1811, 181G, — all now very scarce, —
will be found three illustrative foldingplates and descriptions of the Prison. Tiiey state
that this structure, with "about 5 acres of ground, including extensive flats," cost
"about $170,000. * * Competent judges pronounce " it " to be one of the strongest and
best prisons in the world." It was "built of hewn stone" during 180-1-5, in " a pleas-
ant and healthful situation, cominanding an extensive, rich, and variegated prospect."
The main building was 200 ft. long, 28 to 44 wide, and 4 and 5 stories high. The tirst
floor was formed by " a tier of hewn stone, 9 feet long, and 20 inches thick." The work
yard was 375 bv 2G0 feet, the building containing Avorkshops, kitchen, chapel, etc., was
of brick, ^27 by 25 feet, with 2 stories and a basement. Dec. 12, 1805, the first two
convicts were received, and by end of 1805, thirty-four. Dr. Bartlett (1814) wrote of
the Canal, Navy Yard, and Prison, "we cherish a belief that these * * will be so esti-
mated and conducted, as to answer the publick expectations, and promote the happiness
of the town."

This long, intricate, and unhappy controversy, treated in the above works, included a
charge of literary |)iracy by Miss A. against Dr. M., and severe censure of him, together
with some of the theological strife of the times. "The charge was met at last, as it
should have been at first, by an examination and comparison of the two works " ( His-
tories of N. E.) This showed "the ast(nniding fact, that Miss Adams * * as an author
was herself guilty of a real and gross violation of the rights of another author; she hav-
ing copied verbatim, or with only colorable alterations, nearly one third of her whole
work, loo out of bVi pages, from Dr. Ramsav's Historv of the American Hevolution."

The above Personal Index contains references to about a dozen " Lives," in
volumes, eighty memorial pampldets, and tiiree iiundred and sixty notices of
various lengths, or about four hundred and fifty articles describing about two
hundred and forty persons, natives or residents of Charlestown. Tliis large
amount of material already printed seems to render unnecessary a biograpliical
dictionary of the town, that the writer, several years ago, designed. For the
present, at least, lie ])rints only one memoir described under tlie date 1881).
Altliough the above list is large, it can probably be increased. Many obituary
notices, not included, are to be found in newspapers, especially in the Biniker-
Hill Aurora. Articles of this sort are often luirriL-dly written, and more caretiil
performances are desirable, but the former are, in many cases, the only ac-
counts that exist. No complete collection has, probably-, ever been made of the
memorial pamphlets. That which is the least incomplete has only been formed
by much research. Even exjjlorations among the greater antiquities of various
nations created within the past thousand years hardly impress one more with a
100 PEESONAL INDEX.
sense of the perishable nature of human things, than do these monuments of
some of the persons most notable in tiieir time among their fellow townspeople.
Tliey belong to a valuable class of local literature that deserves better preser-
vation than it has been apt to obtain, and tliat is wanted and welcomed in not a
few libraries.
The Antiquities of a Town, that are its historical monuments, are interesting
subjects for description, and it would be pleasant, when writing this list of liter-
ary works, to add a chapter about Cbarlestown, such as might be written about
some other places. But neither the modes nor the means of the earlier people
created any considerable object that could survive the great lire of 1775. Many
stones or tombs in the Burial Ground, indeed, escaped destruction, and the in-
scriptions they bear may be published, the writer has been informed. An arti-
cle on the public or private structures of more recent times would be, if correct,
of some value in showing how American ways have grown to expression in one
of the most prominent of the arts, — that of building, — but it is not necessary
to make it so personal or limited as to apply it to any one town.
