Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State House: Boston, Massachusetts "Far the most beautiful city in America, as far as I have seen, is Boston, and the State House is the most beautiful building in the country. At Washington, at Albany, at Chicago, and elsewhere, you see much grander and more costly structures; but this is in perfect taste and proportion: every interspace the right size, every moulding right, every decoration refined - a sort of Adams architecture of noblest type.... The situation is noble, and has been made the best of." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State House in Boston, Massachusetts It has been said that the beauty and advantages of this situation, which induced the Legislature to make choice of it for the present building, are acknowledged by both natives and foreigners. It vies with the most picturesque scenes in Europe, and will bear comparison with the castle hill of Edinburgh, the famous bay of Naples, or any other most commanding prospect. Previous to its enlargement a few years since, it was de scribed as an oblong building, 173 feet front and 61 deep; it consists externally of a basement story, 20 feet high, and a principal story, 30 feet. This, in the centre of the front, is covered with an attic 60 feet wide, 20 feet high, which is covered with a pediment. Immediately above this rises a dome, 50 feet diameter and 30 feet high; the whole termi nates with an elegant Circular lanthorn. The basement story is finished plain on the wings, with square windows. The centre is 91 feet in length, and formed of arches which project 14 feet; they form a covered walk below, and sup port a colonnade of Corinthian columns of the same extent above. The outside walls are of large patent bricks. The lower story is divided into a large hall or public walk in the centre, 55 feet square, and 20 feet high, supported by Doric columns; two entries, each 16 feet wide, with two flights of stairs in each; and at the ends offices for the Treasurer, Secretary, Adjutant and Quartermaster General.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prytaneum Bostoniense: Notes on the History of the Old State House Formerly Known as the Town House in Boston the Court House in Boston the Province Court House the State House and the City Hall I have not discovered how long Dudley kept the Queen's portrait at his own house in Roxbury - but it was placed in the Town House where it belonged before the fire in 1711 in which that house was destroyed. The Royal Picture Gallery thus seems to have had its origin in the time of Queen Anne. Chalmers states that Queen Anne gave her portrait to every colony; and more than intimates a degree of churlishness in Massachusetts on its reception there. A trivial fact throws additional light on the temper Of that assembly: [1706 - 7] they refused to address the queen, in return for her portrait, wherewith she had honored every colony, though the compliment, demanded by the civility of a woman, far less the respect due to the condescension of their sovereign, had impugned no privilege, had imposed no duty, had enforced no act of Parliament.
