shore, which it follows to Strait's Pond, thence in a general south- 

 westerly direction to " Breadencheese Tree," and from there south- 

 easterly over Lambert's Lane and King Street to the northwest 

 corner of the First Division on King Street. 



Supper Island and Gulf Island in the harbor, the promontory 

 east of Great Neck, and Beach Island, and the other so-called 

 " islands " and high lands along the beaches east and north of 

 Little Harbor, are also in this portion of the Second Division. 



The westerly part of the Second Division lies on the west side 

 of Lambert's Lane and King Street. The easterly boundary 

 stretches from " Breadencheese Tree " to Scituate Pond, along 

 the west side of the east part of the Second Division, and of the 

 First on King Street. The northwesterly boundary line runs 

 from " Breadencheese Tree" irregularly southwest, passing around 

 and excluding Smith's Island to a cart path running southeast- 

 erly, which it follows to a point where it turns and runs easterly to 

 the First Division line, north of Scituate Pond. 



The Second Division is entirely in Cohasset. 



The Third Division is partly in Cohasset, but mostly in Hing- 

 ham, the northwesterly boundary starting at the northwest angle 

 of the Second Division and running rather irregularly southwest 

 till it strikes the patent line not far from Prospect Hill. The 

 southwesterly boundary starts at the southwest corner of the 

 Second Division and runs to the patent line in a direction gener- 

 ally parallel to the northwesterly boundary line. 



The Second Part of the Third Division is partly in Hing- 

 ham, mostly in Cohasset, and lies south of the Third Division and 

 the westerly portion of the Second, between them and the patent 

 line, and west of the First. It includes about half of Scituate 

 Pond. 



The Fourth Division was made of the tract lying along the 

 extreme southwest boundary of Hingham on the Weymouth 

 border. 



The Fifth and Sixth Divisions were of detached portions of 



lands remaining from the former divisions (excluding specific 



grants). Nutty Hill was included in the Fifth, and certain of the 



'westerly and northerly meadow lands in both the Fifth and Sixth. 



The Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Divisions of lands were made a 

 few years previous to the middle of the eighteenth century. 



We will return over South Main Street, passing, just before we 

 reach the road leading to the depot, the long old house, once 

 Christopher James's Tavern. A short distance further north, 

 on the Plain, stands the Old Church, erected in 1747, — the 

 first Meeting-House having been built here in 1713, 



About an eighth of a mile further on, Winter Street runs south- 

 west over Deer Hill. This street was the old Deer Hill Lane. 

 Just beyond the corner of the lane with North Main Street, there 

 begins, on the right, the renowned Jerusalem Road, also called
