peril As there is now a good road over Long beach, access may be had to Nahant at all hours; but the pleasantest time for a drive over the beach is at low water, or between that and half tide. The same time should be taken to visit the Swallow's cave, as the water passes through it at high tide. The best time to view the dashings of the Spouting horn, is when the wind is eastward, and the tide coming in. The people of Nahant, as well as visitors there, are greatly indebted to Frederic Tudor, Esq. for his care in embellishing Nahant by the construction of side walks, and setting out many thousand shade trees along the avenues, for several miles in extent. His gardens are great curiosities, and his hydraulic works, by which he raises water spontaneously to the height of more than ninety feet, for the purpose of watering them, are the admiration of all. A complete map of Nahant has been made by Alonzo Lewis, showing every lot as it was originally laid out, with the names of the present owners, which will be found very convenient to proprietors, and to persons wishing to purchase land there. Many interesting historical particulars respecting Nahant may be found in the History of Lynn, which may be obtained of the author, or of Mr. Thomas Herbert. |
