CHAPTER IV. NEW ENGLAND 



1. Boundaries and Extent. The six northeasternmost States are known by the general 

 designation of the Eastern States, or New England. New England is bounded on the N. by- 

 Lower Canada ; E. by New Brunswick and the Atlantic Ocean ; S. by the Ocean and Long 

 Island Sound, and W. by New York. It lies between 41° and 48*^ N. Lat., extending from 

 67° to 73° 48' W. Lon., and comprising an area of 65,000 square miles, with a population 

 of nearly 2,000,000.

2. ^Mountains. New England is distinguished for a surface of infinite variety. Mountains 

 in considerable ranges, bold spurs and solitary eminences, rising from the New Haven bluffs of 

 400 feet to the lofty grandeur of Mount Washington, are everywhere dispersed. Beautiful 

 swells of land m every form are innumerable. None of the mountains reaches the height of per- 

 petual snow, and few are utterly sterile or inaccessible. The ancient forests still clothe their 

 sides, but the industry of the cultivator is only necessary to render them productive. Their 

 outline is in general somewhat rounding and tame, and, except in the loftier regions of the 

 White Mountains, and perhaps some of the unexplored eminences of Maine, they exhibit none 

 of those astounding precipices, deep and gloomy ravines, abrupt elevations, and lowering peaks, 

 which invest the Alps and Andes with sulslimity.
