Besides showing all bodies of water and watercourses, common roads or
highways and railroads, it has one feature distinct from and superior to
any map of the State hitherto published, viz: Contour lines, drawn for
each 20 feet of elevation above mean sea level. Figures are placed upon
the heavier contour lines which denote elevations of 100 feet, 200 feet,
etc., above mean sea level, also upon hills and bodies of water to
denote their elevation. A contour line indicating 20 feet depth of water
_below_ mean sea level is drawn along the coast. In a few cases figures
are given to indicate depths of water of less than 20 feet.
This Atlas includes 12 maps and 10 pages index and statistics in all 22
sheets 21×16½. The scale of the survey is 1/62500 or one mile to an
inch.

MARY DYER
OF RHODE ISLAND,
THE QUAKER MARTYR THAT WAS HANGED ON BOSTON
COMMON, JUNE 1, 1660.
-------
BY HORATIO ROGERS,
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island.
-------
The author has gathered from many sources the scattered facts relating
to the career of Mary Dyer and woven them into a detailed narrative, so
that the tragic story of her life is now for the first time adequately
told. By adding a brief but comprehensive sketch of the manner and
sentiments of her times he has furnished a background or framework for
his subject which adds much to the interest of the volume by enabling
the reader the better to understand the surroundings of the characters
he portrays. The important documents relating to her trial are printed
in the appendix.
