Book Description
Excerpt from Alban, or the History of a Young Puritan, Vol. 1 of 2 At the sea end of the point, stands a white light house: nearly two miles higher up, on the opposite heights, is a still formidable fort; and near it, (at the present wiiting, ) a colossal monument of some passage in the war of the Revolution, of which that fort was the scene. The bay is also dotted with a few rocky islets. From the absence of wood, and the profusion of stone, the landscape, if bold, is rather severe in aspect, but at the infiowing of the river, some out jutting points, covered with thick groves, promise a softer inland.
