Note 578 — Chapter II · (continued 2)

The figures in the town denote the numbers of the wards. The letters signify,—A, Town Hall; B, Old meeting; C, the Chapel; D, Governor's house; E, Christ Church; F, Trinity Church; G, Faneuil Hall; H, Old North meeting; I, Old South meeting; L, Work-house; M, Prison. A map like it appeared in 1782 in a work of similar title to that published in Boston, but printed at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, being a second edition of one printed at London in 1779. (Cf. Henry Stevens's Hist. Coll., i. no. 435.) The whole design seems, however, to be taken from a map which appeared in London, Sept. 2, 1775, whose main title is Seat of War in New England, by an American Volunteer, with the marches of the several Corps sent by the Colonies towards Boston, with the Attack on Bunker Hill; and which has in the margin a Plan of Boston Harbor, and is also the prototype of the one in the Impartial History (Boston, 1781). Modern reproductions are also given in Wheildon's New History, F. S. Drake's Tea Leaves, and in various other of the Centennial memorials of 1875.
