A Succine Account of the Situation, Extent, Climate, Population, Hiftory, Government, Commerce, and Manufactures, of New-England. OSTON, the capital of New-England, in North America, is feated on apeninfula, at the bottom of Massachusets bay, covered by small islands and rocks, and defended by a caftle, and platforms of guns, which render the approach of an enemy very difficult. It lies in the form of a crefcent, about the harbour; and the country beyond, rifing gradually, affords a delightful profpect. There is only one fafe channel to approach the harbour, and that fo narrow, that three fhips can scarce fail a-breast; but within the channel there is room for 500 fail to lie at anchor. At the bottom of the bay is a pier, near 2000 feet in length, which fhips of the greatest burden may come up clofe to; and on the north fide there are warehouses for the merchants. The streets are handsome, particularly that extending from the pier to the town-house. On one of the islands of the bay ftands Fort William, one of the finest pieces of military architecture, and the most regular fortrefs, in the British plantations. This castle is defended by a hundred guns, twenty of which lie on platform, level with the water, fo that it is fcarce poffible for an enemy to pafs the caftle. To prevent furprife, they have a guard placed on one of the rocks, at two leagues diftance, from whence they make fignals to the castle, when any ships come near it. Having thus gone through the genealogical account of this family, perhaps it may not be amifs to take notice of the feveral families that are collaterally defcended from it. To begin from Sir Henry Cromwell, grandfather of Oliver the protector, from whofe eldest daughter, Joan, are defcended the baronet families of the Barringtons and Everards of Effex.
