 IT is not supposable that the early settlers selected the site of their plantation1 on account of its picturesqueness2. They were influenced entirely3 by the lay of the land, its nearness and easy access to the sea, and the secure harbor it offered to their fishing-vessels4; yet they could not have chosen a more beautiful spot had beauty been the sole consideration. The first settlement was made at Odiorne’s Point—the Pilgrims’ Rock of New Hampshire; there the Manor5, or Mason’s Hall, was built by the Laconia Company in 1623. It was not until 1631 that the Great House was erected6 by Humphrey Chadborn on Strawberry Bank. Mr. Chadborn, consciously or unconsciously, sowed a seed from which a city has sprung.
 
The town of Portsmouth stretches along the south bank of the Piscataqua, about two miles from the sea as the crow flies—three miles following the serpentine7 course of the river. The stream broadens suddenly at this point, and at flood tide, lying without a ripple8 in a basin formed by the interlocked islands and the mainland, it looks more like an island lake than a river. To the unaccustomed eye there is no visible outlet9. Standing10 on one of the wharves11 at the foot of State Street or Court Street, a stranger would at first scarcely suspect the contiguity
