Reading edition
On the fisheries as a school for the navy of the Revolution, see Lorenzo Sabine's Report on the Fisheries of the U. S. (Washington, 1853), p. 198, and Babson's Gloucester. The histories of the maritime towns of Massachusetts touch this point, like Rich's Truro, Roads's Marblehead, E. V. Smith's Newburyport, etc.—Ed.
