Geology -- Mineralogy--Flora--Weeds--S Ylva--Shrubs And Vines -- Ferns -- Fauna -- Birds. The blooms of home and native air Are ever dearest to us all. -- L. D. Smith. Oh, loveliest there the spring days come, With blossoms, and birds, and wild bees' hum; The flowers of summer are fairest there, And freshest the breath of the summer air. -- Bryant. The world is too much with us. Late and soon Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours. -- Wordsworth. GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY. Gazing upon our hills, valleys, and fertile fields, we seldom realize the fact that the soil which covers them was formed from the decomposition of rocks and the action of organic agencies upon these decomposed particles. Geological formation and environment are said largely to determine plant-distribution. To this cause may be traced the full and exceedingly rich flora of the town. A collection of rocks and minerals has been made, covering the entire territory of the township; and an analysis of the specimens gives the following results: -- Rocks.-- Granite, felsite, diorite, diabase, sandstone. Minerals.-- Pyrites, quartz, porphyry, iron. Granite. The fine-textured part is the ordinary rock; while the coarse is the granite dike, having the minerals deposited from solution. Composition: feldspar, quartz, and mica. Granite with red orthoclase and chlorite. Felsite, worn by water. Contains orthoclase, feld- spar, and quartz. Felsite, red variety. Chalcopyrite.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative History: A History of Dover, Massachusetts, as a Precinct, Parish, District, and Town The writing of this history has been a labor of love. It had its origin in the desire to do something for the place of one's birth. Since history records the life of the people, it is easily seen that nothing can be of more value or of more abiding interest than the story of the labors, the fortitude, the privations, the heroism, the patriotism, and the loves of the fathers. In the evolution of the town, in the establishment of its institutions, in the life of its men and women, we have an abiding example worthy of all emulation. It emphasizes the truth that men must bear one another's hardships and burdens, and that there is nothing lasting that is not founded on honor, virtue, duty, and purity. The author is under obligations to the many friends who have rendered him assistance in this work, and it is with sadness that he recalls the interest of those who now sleep with the fathers. A second volume will follow, giving not only the genealogy of present families, but also all residents previous to 1840, since which time complete records have been kept by the Commonwealth.

Book excerpt: Originally part of the Dedham Grant of 1635, Dover, Massachusetts, became Dedhams Fourth Precinct in 1729 and the Springfield Parish of Dedham in 1748. When the Commonwealth incorporated it in 1836, Dovers economy was based on farming and grazing. Several companies, including the E.F. Hodgson Company and the Harvard Apparatus Company, successfully manufactured portable houses and medical instruments in Dover. However, they eventually left, as Dover remained agriculturally based. By 1896, Dover had become a suburban community. From 1900 to 1914, wealthy Bostoniansmany of them members of the Norfolk Hunt Clubbuilt at least eighteen spacious country estates in Dover, far from the noise and hubbub of the city. Population grew slowly after World War I, but in 1945, the town increased in numbers, as veterans returned from World War II and others saw the convenience of commuting to work in Boston while living in a pastoral environment. Once the home of Sen. Leverett Saltonstall, Gov. Francis Sargent, and benefactress Amelia Peabody, Dover today is an elegant country town, a mixture of estates, open fields, forests, and family neighborhoods.
