Boston, at the mouth of the Witham, was once a famous seaport, the rival of London in commercial prosperity, in the thirteenth century. It was the site of the famous monastery of St. Botolph, built by a pious monk in 657. The town which grew up around it was called Botolph's town, contracted finally to Boston.
In the course of the next year she had one or two small, rather undignified flirtations with neighbouring farmers there was young Gain over at Botolph's Bridge, and Ernest Noakes of Belgar.
Another great burying ground long since built over lay at the back of Botolph's Lane in Thames Street. That is built over and forgotten. There is another where lies the dust of the marvellous boy Chatterton. I am due that of the thousands who every day seek this spot not one can tell or remember that it was once a burying ground. On this spot the paupers of the parish of St.
Botolph's had lately given," in the church tower, "until better times," when the monks expressed a hope that they should improve all their buildings and appointments. Oil that dropped from the framework on which church bells were hung was regarded in Florence as a panacea for various ailments.
At Loring the manners of the mill hands, as they were called, were upon the whole good, which I believe was in a great degree to be attributed to their Sunday magnificence. The real West-end of Loring was understood by all men to lie in Paragon Crescent, at the back of St. Botolph's Church. The whole of this Crescent was built, now some twenty years ago, by Mrs.

Then, Mr. Porter produced some curiously engraved drinking-glasses, with a view of Saint Botolph's steeple on one of them, and other Boston edifices, public or domestic, on the remaining two, very admirably done.
The most distinguished of these clergymen, John Cotton, in his younger days a Fellow and Tutor of Emmanuel College, had for more than twenty years been rector of St. Botolph's, when he left the most magnificent parish church in England to hold service in the first rude meeting-house of the new Boston. From Emmanuel College came also Thomas Hooker and John Harvard.
Botolph's Church Elizabeth cried, saying, 'O my dear father! Mother! mother! here is my father led away! Then cried his wife, 'Rowland, Rowland, where art thou? for it was a very dark morning, that the one could not see the other. Dr. Taylor answered, 'I am here, dear wife, and stayed.
Botolph's had certainly escaped the slightest tincture of the Pharisee, and by dint of admitting to himself that he was too much as other men were, he had become remarkably unlike them in this that he could excuse others for thinking slightly of him, and could judge impartially of their conduct even when it told against him.
