BOSTON Washburn, Printer, 221 Washington St, IMPROVEMENTS IN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, Within twenty years, have been highly important, and have kept pace with the rapid progress of general musi- cal education in civilized countries, especially in the United States, where elementary knowledge of music is taught gratuitously in the public schools. Thus a gen- eral taste for music is cultivated bj- a knowledge of it, aud among us there has been exhibited quite a surprising proficiency in vocal and instrumental music. This general knowledge of aud taste for music, has rapidly developed the manufacture of musical instruments, increased competition, and stimulated the inventive powers of musical mechanical artists. Especially has this been the case in the manufac- ture of Piano-Fortes and Cabinet Organs, which in this country are made more perfectly than in any other, and are now largely exported to European and nearly all other foreign countries. In the march of improvement, the manufacturers of Cabinet Organs have outstripped even the makers of Piano-Fortes. This fact has been most emphatically and famously demonstrated by the superlative and pre-eminent excellence of the instruments produced by the gra&t New Engl&nd Org&n Co., 1299 "Washington Street, Boston, during the last seven years. Their career has been one unbroken round of triumphs, ever since their origin. They have originated, patented, and made widely renowned a greater number of and more important improvements, in the mechanism and cases, than all the other concerns com- bined, and have attained the foremost rank in a much shorter time than it was acquired in by any predecessors. Fortunately for that Company, they have retained exclu- sive control of their most important patented inventions, whose popularity in both worlds has secured to them an immeuse and steadily increasing traffic. With best ma- chinery, materials, facilities, artists and artisans, most perfect system and discipline, in all departments of their model factory, through practical knowledge on the part of the proprietors, and a perpetual zeal for introducing new . improvements, they have} accomplished more in seven years than any of their rivals effected in thrice that time.

Boston is a city of remarkable interest ; its environs are un- surpassed in our land or in any other ; and to succinctly guide the stranger to and through these points of interest, is the object of this small book. In order to teach strangers how to walk through Boston, we have arranged itineraries leading through the principal streets, pointing out as we go along the many points of interest which abound in this historical city. Old buildings, many of them pioneers of American architecture, reminding one, at each glance, of the past, to which one can look back with so much wholesome pride. New marble palaces, which will in their turn serve as honored landmarks to future generations. The many immense business houses will also find appropriate IMPROVEMENTS IN MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. The fashionable world, and the public generally, pro- nounce the New England Cabinet Organs unequalled in melody, volume, variety of original musical combina- tions, magnificence, variety, and convenience of cases, and in durability. They have won many medals and diplomas, and countless testimonials to their pre-eminence, from the most competent judges; and they achieved the greatest triumph ever achieved by any organs, at the great Tort- land Fair of 1877, where and when, after the most critical testing and comparison with their most eminent rivals, they obtained the unprecedented award of Two Gold Medals over all competitors, for being "The best Cabinet Organs for Church and Home use." . Until rival concerns introduce more important inven- tions than those exclusively controlled by the New Eng- land Organ Co., and obtain an equally signal and sweeping victory over all, they cannot justly claim the palm of precedence in the high art of organ manufactur- ing —whatever isolated successes they may experience at exhibitions where there are no competitors, or only insig- nificant ones, to be compared with. The New England Cabinet Organs are in ever-changing variety of styles and sizes, varying in price from $50 to $1,000, every Organ warranted per- fect That Company have been made additionally popu- lar by their equitable system of easy terms, instalments and rents. Buyers can rely upon it that if they wish to secure at any period, the most perfect-Organs in exist- ence these can be found at the headquarters, or any of the foreign or native agencies of the above establishment. J In the Interest of purchasers it is suggested that they carefully peruse the very interesting illustrated and descriptive catalogues of that Company, sent free to any address, by the NEW ENGLAND ORGAN CO., 1299 Washington Street, (See 2d. page of Cover.) BOSTO N . Preface [continued.] mention, and in this feature of our work we have taken par- ticular pains to recommend only those of tried honesty and known integrity. The environs of Boston offer so many real points of historical interest, connected with our revolution, that no stranger should fail to visit them. We have arranged easy, practical and agree- able routes to the most interesting points. These routes we recommend to our patrons as offering the best ways of viewing the suburban attractions of the city. Our main object in compiling this work has been to enable the thousands of strangers who will visit this metropolis during the present season, to understandingly see and appreciate the many points of interest centered here.

An infallible remedy for Bunions, Sore and Inflamed Joints and Chilblains, Every person suffering from any of the above diseases can be cured by using Norman's IToot Salve. This salve is not a caustic as most preparations used for the cure of corns are, but is a vegetable substance, and when applied to the hard skin around a corn it has a tendency to soften it, so that it be- comes separated from the corn, which being so much harder is not so easily acted on, and it can then be readily removed with the lingers. For a Bunion or Sore Joint, it removes the inflammation in one night, and a few applications will entirely cure. When applied to a corn the soreness is always removed in one night, and if used several times it will work as stated above. This salve will not cure a soft corn, but will remove the inflamma- tion and thus keep the foot in a comfortable condition. Try it. PRICE 25 CENTS A BOX.

ROUTE No. 1. Commencing at City Hall, going up School street, en- tering Tremont street upon the left. A few doors up, we come to Tremont Temple, where Divine Services are 'held on Sunday, and concerts and lectures on other days. Near by is the "Horticultural Hall" and the "Studio Building," which is occupied principally by artists, architects, etc. Opposite is THE GRANARY BURYING GROUND, founded in the XVIIth century. In this cemetery are many tombs of the illustrious heroes who emancipated their country; among whom are Colonial and State Governors, two of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Paul Revere, whose gallant action at Lexington is forever present in our memories, Peter Faneuil, the immortal John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and many others. Contiguous to this Cemetery, is the Park street Church, one of the principal churches of the Trinitarian Congregational denomination. We are now in the vicinity of the ladies' shopping dis- trict, where are located the dry goods, jewelry and fancy goods establishments ; proceeding up Tremont street, we pass Temple place, upon the corner of which stands the UNITED STATES COURT HOUSE. continuing on, at 158 we are attracted by the unique display of folding furniture of Hale & Kilburn Manufacturing Co. This store is worthy of a visit, as here can be seen the Champion Folding Bedstead, (now on exhibition at 11 Established 1835. CURTIS DAYIS & CO, SI MERCHANTS EOW, Boston, Mass. The oldest and most celebrated manufacturers of Soap in New England, makers of those highly pop- ular brands, "American Peerless/' Curtis Davis' Extra," "Gold Dust," &c, would most respectfully invite your attention to a new brand of their goods, called "WELCOME," Made of the purest and best stock ever used in the manufacture of Domestic Soaps ; remarkable for the toilet. Unequalled for the Bath or Laundry. A trial will be a sufficient recommendation of its excellence, and will convince all of its superiority over cheaper or inferior grades, for all practical uses. Please ask your grocer for a sample of the above mentioned brand of ** T^ELCOMES. n 12 the Mechanic's Fair, in Section 92, F.) a very simple and elegant affair, and can be easily operated by a child, as it shuts up with all clothing in place; here can also be seen Childrens' Chariots, High Chairs, Patent Portable Wash Stand, Ti I ting Chairs, for office and library, and the new "Cable Spring" (see page 51). In the same store we sec the Wilson Adjustable Chair, which is really a wonder- ful invention, being capable of thirty changes of position, ;ind in an incredible short time can be converted into a parlor, reading, invalid, or eas} r chair, lounge, bed, crib, etc. Our readers will And it to their advantage to have one of these chairs in their houses ; at any rate they should not fail to see it (see page 51). A few doors farther along we notice the office of the world-famed Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Co. Just before coming to Boylston street, Ave pass the Evans House, which is a first class family hotel. We are now at the corner of Boylston street, which is occupied bj r thej Hotel Boylston, one of the most elegant apartment hotels in the cit} r , and the proper- ty of the Hon. Charles Francis Adams. On the south- west corner is the Hotel Pelham, the pioneer in Boston of the French apartment system. The next building but one passing down Boylston street is the Public Li- brary ot the city of Boston. Continuing up Tremont street, at No. l'.H, can be seen one of the most important and desirable articles for housekeeping; the improved "Weed" Carpet Sweeper; they prevent the wearing ont of* carpets, raise no dust or lint to stifle and irritate the lungs, or to lodge on the furniture, drapery, and ornaments ; a child or invalid can use them with but little exertion. Every person having a carpet should not be without one of these sweepers. The cost is trifling compared with the comfort they afford. They have been thoroughly tested by over one hundred thousand persons who have them in use and recommend them as being the most simple, prac- tical, and durable sweeper made. Otis H. Weed & Co., H)4 Tremont street, Boston, are the patentees and manu- facturers. They are for sale by all traders, carpet and house furnishing dealers, at the low price of $2.50. A few doors farther on the left, on the corner of Elliot street, is the "Young Men's Christian Association," next bo which is the Winthrop Public School. We continue up Tremont to Berkeley street, on the corner of which stands the new Odd Fellows Hall, a very fine building, well worth a visit. We will deviate from our course, passing on to Dart- 13 AT WOOD'S PRIVATE CONSERVATORY OF DANCING, 724 WASHINGTON STREET. Established in 1862.

After forty years sojourn in Chauncy place and street, the advancing tide of business made it necessary to seek new quarters, blooming gardens and quiet foot-paths having given place to lofty and crowded stores, and the jar and dm of heavy wagons. The next step was to Essex street, from which after five year's stay, the fire of May, 1873, compelled the removal to the present site in Boyls- ton street. The school is divided into departments, viz., Z^% Kindergarten for very young pupils, Primary School (formerly called Preparatory), and the Military Drill, introduced in 1861, thus affording excellent exercise, while at the same time it is a good school of attention and ^ST 6 ;, T j ie ;;\ i f 1 also an excellent Gymnasium at- tached to the drill hall, for members of the upper depart- ment, rhe classical and mathematical courses cover the requisitions of our highest colleges and scientific schools.

Its large corps of teachers enables it to carry out more thoroughly the div- ision of labor in instruction, so as to make the course ex- tend from the most tender years to adult age, fitting its pupils for the University, the Institute of Technology the Counting-room. bJ We will retrace our steps back to the corner of Dart- m ^i\ ail ?., Tl ' + eni ° nt Streets ' aucl continue up Tremont stieet to Chester square, passing, between Concord and Worcester streets, the Methodist church, considered the finest edifice belonging to the denomination, in the city. We pass through Chester square to and across Shawniut avenue, through Chester park to Washington street ; cross the street and turn down to the left until we come to Worcester square, on the comer of which is the Central Club, an entirely social organization, occupying- sumptuous quarters. This building is now one of the handsomest brown stone houses in the vicinity. We so through Worcester square into Harrison avenue. The Chancy Hall School (Founded 1828.) 259 BOYLSTON STREET.

The true judge of work, are the youth and beauty who adorn the assemblages of Mr. Atwood (see page 13). We continue on, passing the Boylston Museum, so named, but in reality a small theatre, devoted to variety performances, and which the stranger should not confound with the old Boston Museum on Tremont street. A few doors farther down is the Boylston Market, an old laud mark, erected in 1809 ; immediately opposite is the spot where the famous "Liberty Tree" stood, which was cut down by the British soldiers on the 3d of August, 1775. The building upon the opposite cor- ner of Essex street is occupied by the Eagle Clothing House, and upon the first flight above are the piano ware- rooms of Chas. D. Blake & Co., whose instruments can be relied upon as being perfect in every particular ; a cata- logue with designs of all their styles will by application or letter, be sent free to any address, so that parties resid- ing at a distance can safely order an instrument corres- ponding in style and description to any of the engravings, and all instruments are fully warranted for five years. The catalogue above alluded to, contains numerous flattering testimonials from those who have purchased their pianos. (See page 2.) Again resuming our walk down Washington street, we pass on the right, the new " Globe Theatre " and " Emi- grant Savings Bank Building," one of the most elaborately fitted up banking institutions of the city ; on the left is the new International Hotel. A little farther on we come to the elegant new building of the Mercantile Savings Institution ; in the next building are Doe & Hunnewell's fashionable furniture warerooms, one of the best and most reliable in the city, (see page 25.) Farther down on this side is the Adams House, near to which is the Boston Theatre, the largest and leading theatre in the city ; con- tinuing down, passing the music store of Oliver Ditson & Co., the most extensive in the United States. We are now at Winter street. Upon the left hand cor- ner going up, as far back as 1768, stood an ante-revolu- tionary house, with an elegant garden. It was then the residence of Gov. Bernard. It was afterwards kept as a boarding house by Mrs. Dexter, and John McLean, found- er of the McLean Asylum, was one of her boarders. The present building was occupied for more than thirty years, Orlando Tompkins using the ground floor as a drug store, and was succeeded by the present proprietor, Mr. B.

We will go up this busy mart of fashion. Upon the left hand corner of Winter place (once known as Blott's Lane) stands the elegant and attractive establishment of A. Stowell & Co., in which is displayed myriads of unique and tasteful accessories to the fall and winter toilets in the way of fancy articles, of which the firm has an almost endless variety. There are chanteline bags, principally in black velvet, richly ornamented by oxidized silver clasps, others heavily ornamented with frosted leaves of flowers with gold colored swallows or beetles below the clasps. Next in order and variety are an almost endless variety of fans, frail and costly combinations of lace, pearls, and ivory, all of which show an exquisite taste in the selections and extremely delicate in design and coloring. These bi- jous are in great variety. The handles of pearl and ivory are elegantly carved and beautifully finished. It would be useless to attempt a detailed description, in such a small work. Suffice it to say that Messrs. Stowell & Co., are constantly receiving importations from all parts of the world, and an hour cannot be spent any better than in vis- iting this museum of art, whether it be the intention to purchase or not, as the goods will be cheerfully shown and an inspection sight of them will well repay a visit. On the next corner resided a citizen so influential as to receive the distinction of outlawry from George III. Upon this site stood a house once occupied by our revolutionary patriot, Samuel Adams. This quaint building, a mansion in those days, was a modest two story wooden house, which if it could be seen at this day, would appear in strange contrast with the extensive dry goods establishment of Messrs. Sheparcl, Norwell & Co., who occupy the first floor for their retail, and the second floor and basement for their wholesale departments. This enterprising firm has made very rapid strides in its business in but comparatively short time, as it commenced in a small way, using but one cor- ner of the building. It now occupies nearly the entire block (seepages 39 and 83). A novelty can be seen at the room of Miss M. E. Church, opposite, at No. 25, Room 11. It is the Everett Adjustable Dress Figure, an article indispensible to all who desire perfection in dress-making, as it enables ladies to fit and drape dresses as over their own person, and they should not fail to call and examine this novelty (see page 41). We now go up Music Hall Place to the Boston Music Hall, one of the *24 ^ 0>*/ Opposite Music Hall-X^O, *7 JEWELRY, SILVER-WARE. ° \Opera Glasses, (3\ JAPANESE FANS CL \ —AND— / ^S^ \p \Bamboo Chains,/ r^ 24 %\ /# 24 22 finest public halls in the world. The principal attraction ana chief ornament of this hall is the great organ, which was set up and inaugurated on the 2d of November, 1863, in the presence of an immense audience. It is the most per- organ in the country, its total cost with case, amounting to $60,000. After leaving Music Hall, upon the right in the same building is the New England Conservatory of Music, the oldest academy of music in America, and the largest in the world. Dr. Tourjee, the Director, or- ganized this institution in Rhode Island in 1859, removing from Providence to Boston, in 1867, and since then more than 20,000 pupils have honored him with their patron- age. Seventy-five eminent instructors are constantly em- ployed in this Conservatory, and its large number of graduates are filling responsible positions throughout the country. Its rates of tuition are exceedingly low, being only $15.00 for 125 hours' instruction, thereby placing a knowledge of music within the reach of all. We say then to parents who meditate on musically edu- cating their sons or daughters, if it can be afforded, send them to the New England Conservatory, whose roll of graduates embraces so many now prominent members of the musical profession (see page 29). We return to Wash- ington street, crossing which we go down Summer street to No. 18, where are the spacious salesrooms of the Non- otuck Silk Co., who are so justly celebrated for their manufacture of Corticelli Silk Twist. Their immense mills at Florence and Leeds, Mass., are hardly adequate to supply the demand for these goods, the European or- ders being so large. The company have medals of honor from the several expositions, which is a sufficient guaran- tee in itself of the superiority of these products, and we take particular pride in calling the attention of our coun- trymen to this matter, as illustrating the rapid stride which our industries have made (see page 60). At No. 48, a large assortment of the new fall styles of millinery goods may be seen at the wholesale rooms of J. K. C. Sleeper, whose retail department is 26 Temple place. We now go back to Washington street, and continue our tour, passing the immense clothing establishment of Macullar, Williams & Parker, occuping a new and elegant white marble building. Upon the opposite side, in the Washington building, No. 383, is located the office and sales room of The Oriental Rug Co. It will pay any one to visit this establishment, and inspect the large variety in elegant London, Turkish 23 BOSTON Saturday Evening Gazette, THE OLDEST SUNDAY NEWSPAPER IN THE COUNTRY, A distinctively Boston paper, having been for over a half century the favorite weekly in the families of this city.

There are also on exhibition many handsome rugs worked from their patterns by Boston lad- ies and others who all agree that it is the most fascinating Art ever offered to the American people, as it is difficult to distinguish them, when finished, from those imported, and the expense is a mere trifle in comparison. This company furnish yarn, hooks, frames and clamps, with in- structions that will enable any one to work a rug, fit to grace the finest home in this country. Visitors at the great Fair will find a display of their goods in the gallery, section P. (See page 91.) Upon the corner of Bromfield street, is the office of the Saturday Evening Gazette, the oldest Sunday paper in the country. Upon the same street are the newspaper offices of the Evening Transcript, the first evening paper established in Boston. Farther down are the offices of the Heiiald, in the building recently erected by its proprietors, which is without doubt the finest building of the kind in the city. Directly opposite, is the office of THE BOSTON JOURNAL, which is published morning and evening ; the publishers also issue a semi-weekly and weekly paper. It is the pop- ular family newspaper of Boston and vicinity, and has a circulation throughout New England second to no paper of its class. Among its popular contributors, are "Per- let," its veteran Washington correspondent ; "Burleigh," its New York correspondent : Edward King, whose letters from Europe are so extensively copied, and a score of others. It aims at being a live newspaper, furnishing news of a reliable character, and avoiding sensations. The offices of the Globe, Journal, and Sunday Courier, arc also located in this vicinity. Turning up School street we end the tour at City Hall. Ij. \V. Jones, Wholesale, Retail and General Grocer. This store, situated on Beach street, No. 76, in close proximity with the Boston & Albany depot, United States and Boston Hotels, has every convenience for the large and increasing business the house is doing, and it is replete with a large stock, all of which has been selected with the greatest care and in the best of markets, and are offered at a price that will hear comparison with any house in the trade. The proprietor is a courteous and agreeable gentleman, ;md the writer is sure, will give entire satisfaction to any customers who may favor him with a call.

We will make our starting point the Crawford House, situated in Scollay square, the name being derived from an old landmark, known as Scollay's Buildings. It was named Scollay square, and to the stranger it is as bewildering as Bradshaw's Guide. Continue on until reaching the Hub Billiard Palace, on the same side; these are the largest billiard halls in the city. Near by in Howard street, is the Howard Athenseum Theatre. This temple of Momus has been freshly painted, and its new management flatter themselves that they can make it a first-class theatre, in which they will most signally fail, as it can never be other than the old variety Howard. The entire ground floor of this building is occupied by the immense bottling estab- lishment of Moses Fairbanks & Co., who are the pioneers in this branch of industry, having been located here since the year 1846. It is the most extensive establishment of the kind in this country, and some idea of its immensity may be found, when it is known that twenty-five of its teams are employed daily in supplying goods to customers in and around Boston, while they are forwarded by express, to all parts of New Eng- land. The bottling department is complete in all its arrange- ments, thousands of dozens of prime ales and porters, arranged on shelves, and thousands of gallons in casks on racks ready for bottling. The corking machines were specially imported for this firm, and excite the admiration of all beholders by their per- fect working. During the busy season, a force of eighty men is constantly employed in manufacturing and bottling all kinds of summer beverages, such as soda, mineral water, Belfast gin- ger ale; also tonic beers of all flavors. The firm also deal ex- tensively in ale, porter and cider, and are the sole New England agents for the celebrated Vienna lager beer, and Eisen's Ameri- can champagnes, which are rapidly growing into popular favor, being fully equal to many brands of imported wines and sold for less than one-half the price. This firm make a fine exhibit at the Mechanics' Fair in O, section 1, Columbus avenue gallery. We will now go down Hanover street, one of the widest and busiest thoroughfares in the city. A short distance down on the left, at No. 16, is the hat and bonnet bleachery of the Messrs. Pool Bros., (see page 91), who have a well earned reputation, as they fully understand the art of restoring an old hat or bon- net and making it look as well as new, and at a moderate price. A little further upon the same side is the AMERICAN HOUSE, one of the most popular and best managed of New England hotels. The present structure was built by the late Lewis Rice, 27- THE HOUSEHOLD COMPANION. An Illustrated Monthly Magazine for T3E3CJ3 HOME CIRCLE.

Mr. Rice was for thirty years one of the most efficient and successful of Boston landlords, and gave to the " American " a world-wide fame for those solid and substantial comforts so ac- ceptable to the travelling public. The house is now conducted by his son, (under the style of Lewis Rice & Son,) and has a great reputation for the uniform excellence of its table, the cleanliness and comfort of its rooms, and the air of perfection which pervades every department. Its rates, always reasonable, have recently been reduced to 33 -oo and $3.50 per day. For years it has been the headquarters of the shoe and leather trade, and a favorite resort for Western and Southern merchants, being within easy distance of the depots and steamers. We continue down this street, which in Paris would be called the rue du ban Marche, as the cheapest purchases can be made in this vicinity. At the end of this street, one can take the boats of the Winnisimrnet Ferry for Fast Boston, formerly known as Xoddle's Island. The wharves of the Cunard steamers are located here, also an immense grain elevator. There are also several large foundries, and ship-building yards, from which many of the largest and finest ships in the world have been launched. As there is nothing of further interest to be seen here, we re-cross the ferry and take a horse-car, if desirable, and return to the hotel. ' SPECIAL NOTICE. Win. B.

We have deemed it advisable to devote an article in this work bearing exclusively upon the insurance interest, making mention of some of the most prominent companies, whose offices are situated upon the line of our route. We will accordingly enter Devonshire street from State street, reviewing a portion of a former route. No. 60 is the well-known Faneuil Hall Insur- ance Co., (see inside of back cover for statement.) Continuing on to the corner of Water street, directly opposite the new Post Office, is the fine building erected by the Commonwealth National Bank, which occupies the first floor, while the upper stories and basement are occupied by bankers, insurance brokers, etc. At No. 22 is the agency of P. E. Eddy, (see page 57;) also that of W. B. Sears, both of whom represent several first- class companies, (see back cover.) Next is the Simmons Building, another fine specimen of architecture, and devoted to similar pursuits. At No. 48 is the office of Richard Rowe, insurance agent and broker, (see pages 1 7 and 69.) Directly oppo- site in Post Office square, is the Shawmut Insurance Company, (see page 45.) We go through Congress street as far as Exchange place; at No. 8 this place is the office of Wm. A. Beattie, at No. 7, directly opposite, is Richard Pope, (see page 55;) also in the same building, J. C. Paige. On the right hand cor- ner of Kilby are Hollis and Snow, (formerly Ellison, Hollis & Co.) 85 Devonshire street, (see page 17.) Continuing through Kilby street, upon the right, corner of Doane street, are Messrs. Stearns Bros., (seepage 13.) The five last named firms are the representatives, or we might say, general agents, of many of the largest and wealthiest insurance companies in the United States, the Canadas and Europe. -*-♦- Curtis I>avis «fc Co.'s Soap Works— The extensive soap manufactory of this firm is situated in Cambridgeport, and is the most extensive of the kind in New England, turning out half a mil- lion pounds of soap every month, and employing from fifteen to twenty men in the soap and tallow rendering department alone. To detail the various manufactures of this house would require too much space, but among the most popular brands, are the "American Peerless," "Curtis Davis Extra," "Gold Dust" and "Right Nice," and the new brand "Comfort," just introduced. They have supplied these soaps for nearly half a century, and the use of Curtis Davis & Co.'s manufacture invariably leaves the clothes perfectly sweet, soft, white and thoroughly cleansed. The reputation which this firm have obtained, has led to numerous imitations of their brands, and only such as bear their name on bar or wrapper, can be depended upon as being genuine.

CHARLES M. CARTER, Pres't. C. FREDERICK CARTER, Treas. On exhibition in Mechanic's Fair, No. 1077. 38 THE BOSTON SOCIETY OF NATURAL HISTORY, founded in 1831, and erected upon land presented to the society by the State, in 18G1. It is an elegant structure, three stories high, in the Doric and Ionian styles of archi- tecture. Among other interesting objects to be seen, is the rich cabinet of natural history, open for the public on Wednesday and Saturday. The next building to the right INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, founded in 1861. The style of architecture is about the same as its sister building, with the addition of four Corinthian columns on the facade, which are pronounced the most perfect specimens in Boston. The object of the Institute is the furtherance of practical arts and sciences ; it was modeled after the school of Arts et Metiers of Paris, which is the first of its kind in the world. Ten regular courses of study, including all of the applied sciences, are liberally provided for, and which attracts students from every State in the Union, and, it is said, even from Europe. Nearly opposite is the Hotel Brunswick. We continue up Boylston, passing Clarendon street, where we come upon the new and imposing fire-proof edifice of the CHAUNCY HALL SCHOOL, the veteran among all the educational institutions in the. city. It is a preparatory school for all the higher branches, and, at this institution, military drill was first classed among the regular studies in the Boston schools. We continue up Boylston street to the next block, which is Dartmouth street, on the corner of which are the edifices of the Old South Society. The central church is called THE NEW OLD SOUTH. It is, in every respect, a magnificent pile. In the centre of the buildings — for here are clustered a church, a chapel and a model parsonage — rises a tower 240 feet high. Like the First Church on Marlboro street, the stained glass windows were made in England. This superb structure is a good illustration of the tendency of the age, when compared with the plain Old South Church, on Wash- ington street, which we shall see in route No. 2. Following Dartmouth street across to St. James avenue, we see at the corner of Huntington avenue the MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, which is destined to become to Boston what the British 39 SHEPARD, NORWELL & CO. 26 to 30 Winter Street, BOSTON.

SHEPARD, NORWELL & CO. 26 to 30 Winter Street, Boston. 40 Museum is to London, or, in other words, a great temple of art. The building itself is new, externally very attract- ive, and, internally, admirably adapted to the use required of it, the main object of which is the collection of paint- ings and statuary, and the opening to students in drawing opportunities to study the models of the most celebrated masters. While it will be a museum where the visitor may find rare paintings and statuary to attract attention, and where the simply curious may pass an hour inspecting the peculiar art products of the ancients, it will have still higher claims to public encouragement by the opportuni- ties it will afford for obtaining a vast amount of informa- tion, which will be particularly useful in developing taste and raising the standard of production in many pursuits. The laud updn which the buildiug stands, and sufficient for the extension, as means may be secured, was given by the city, with no other condition imposed except that four times each month the building shall be opened to the public without an admission fee. Continuing on still through Dartmouth street, past Engine House No. 22, we cross the track of the Boston and Albany Railroad, then that of the Providence Rail- road, and next come to Columbus avenue, one of the broadest streets in the new district, lined on both sides with handsome dwelling-houses. This avenue is very animated on pleasant afternoons, as it is the principal drive leading out of the city, making it, in every respect, a magnificent boulevard. Now, turning to the left, we soon come to the imposing edifice of the second Universalist church. This is one of the first churches where the now fashionable plan of a carriage drive under the tower was adopted. We follow the avenue, crossing the bridge close to the church, until we come to the new and imposing edifice of the BOSTON AND PROVIDENCE PASSENGER STATION, which is one of the finest buildings of the kind in the world in external appearance, and can certainly be, claimed as the most perfect; in fact, it is an ideal railway station. Who has not been obliged to wait, oftentimes several hours, for a desired train, in a cold, or, at any rate, cheer- less waiting-room, with nothing to do to while away the time? Here all of this is obviated; for there are comfort- able waiting-rooms, a splendid restaurant, a cafe, read- ing-rooms, a barber shop, and a billiard room, which is unique and practical in the extreme. The entire length of the building is over 800 feet. In the waiting-rooms 41 UJ RICH TOILET GOODS ! Customers are invited to examine our stock of rare and beautiful TOIEET ARTICL.ES.
