Samuel Willard Paftor of the Church of Chrift at Groton. CAMBRIDGE: Printed by Samuel Green* J 673. It is a book of exceeding rarity, — only three copies are known to be extant, — and it forms the only relic which time has spared of the first meeting-house of Groton. It suggests many a contrast between that dreary and unfinished building where our fathers met for worship, and this spa- cious and commodious hall where we are now assembled. Like all meeting-houses of that period of which we have ...any record, this structure was probably square or nearly so, and, as we have reason to suppose, measured about forty feet each way. It was two stories in height, and had two doors. The roof was thatched, and probably a steep one. The front gallery was on the north side of the house, so that the building must have been on the south side of the road, and faced the north. This confirms the theory that it stood on Mr, Boutwell's land. There were also galleries on the east and west sides of the building, and the pulpit was placed in the south end.
