The ground at the base of the monument is graded thirty feet square, about a foot above the natural level, and inclosed by a heavy border of hammered Quincy granite. Gravel walks lead to the tablets, terminating in a circular gravelled space; the rest of the inclosure is turfed. The architect of the monument was Mr. B. F. Dwight, of Boston; and the contractors were the Gloucester Red Granite Company. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
