Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Fountain Inn, Agnes Surriage and Sir Harry Frankland: A Paper Read Before the Marblehead Historical Society, December 8, 1904
The picture of the Fountain Inn opposite the title page was made for the Historical Society by Thomas Pitman, a native artist and a member of the society.
The site, the islands and the distant shore were all sketched with an artist's skill, while standing upon the premises. The house was then drawn where the hidden foundations plainly indicate that it should be; and the various details are made to harmonize with the descriptions of the house as given in the sundry divisions, subdivisions and executions that followed in its brief history after the death of Nathaniel Bartlett, the Innholder.
