Note 386 — NEW ENGLISH CANAAN OR NEW CANAAN. (continued 2)
Reading edition
There is some slate in Quincy and Weymouth that might be used for roofing, and a quarry of it was long worked for material for gravestones, &c., on Squantum Bay, a mile or so from Mount Wollaston; but it is slate of a very poor sort. The nearest workable slate is in Vermont and Maine.
