able Samuel Abbott Green,
M.D., a pamphlet entitled "Notes on a Copy of Dr. William Douglass's
Almanack for 1743, touching on the subject of medicine in Massachusetts
before his time." It is specially interesting to the members of the
medical fraternity, as well as to antiquaries.

CORRECTION.--The article upon Lovewell's fight at Pigwacket, printed in
the February number of the Bay State (page 83), contained a trifling
error, but one which deserves correction. It is stated that the township
of land with which the General Court, in 1774, rewarded the services of
the troops under Lovewell, was subsequently divided, forming the towns
of Lovell and New Sweden. The mistake was upon the name of the latter
town. It should have been written Sweden. New Sweden is the recent
Swedish colony of Aroostook County.

[Illustration: Boar's Head House]

From the eastern end of Long Island, toward the west and south, extends
a dreary monotony of sandbeach along the whole Atlantic coast, to the
extreme southern cape of Florida, thence along the shores of the Gulf of
Mexico to the Rio Grande, broken only by occasional inlets. The
picturesque coast scenery is mostly north and east of Cape Cod.
Following along the seaboard from Cape Ann, one comes, a few miles north
of the mouth of the Merrimack River, in view of a bold promontory
extending into the waters of the Atlantic, and aptly named, in years
agone, Boar's Head.

The traveler in search of a delightful seaside resort for the summer
need go no further. For here, amidst the most charming of marine
scenery, that veteran landlord and genial host, Stebbins H. Dumas, has
erected, for the benefit of the public, a hotel, spacious, well
appointed, and ably conducted; inviting and especially homelike; every
room commanding a view of the ocean.

Boar's Head is a promontory; its level summit of about a dozen acres,
sixty feet above the highest tide, clothed in the greenest verdure. It
is in the form of a triangle, the cliffs on two sides of which are
lashed by the waves of the restless ocean; while toward the main, the
land falls away gently to the level of the marshes. The hotel is situate
on the crest of this incline. From the veranda, which commands the
landward view, the prospect is wide and pleasing. To the north trends
Hampton Beach in a long sweep to Little Boar's Head and the shores of
Rye and Newcastle; inland are broad stretches of salt marsh, its surface
interwoven
