The first discovery of NewHampshire was in 1614, and the first settlements made by Europeans were at Dover and Portsmouth in 1623; only three years after the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth.
NewHampshire is more mountainous than any of her sister states, yet she boasts of large quantities of luxuriant intervale.
The Connecticut, Merrimack, Saco, Androscoggin and Piscataqua, receive most of their waters from the high lands of NewHampshire: while the former washes the western boundary of the state 168 miles, the Merrimack pierces its centre, and the Piscataqua forms the beautiful harbor of Portsmouth, a depot of the American navy.
