. Whittier-land; a handbook of North Essex. sbury side of the river, was formerly occupiedby Rev. J. C. Fletcher, of Brazilian fame. The Hawkswood oaks, the storm-torn plumesOf old pine-forest kings, Beneath whose century-woven shadeDeer Islands mistress sings. The Merrimac, beautiful as are its banks along its en-tire course, nowhere presents more picturesque scenerythan where it passes through the deep valley it has worn AMESBURY 59 for itself between the hills of Amesbury and Newbury, and especially where its tidal current is parted by theperpendicular cliffs of Deer Island.
