Penzance, Uloods l>olL jVjOWHERE in New England can be found a piece of land of such a peculiarshape. Its narrow length, combined with such an enormous waterfrontage, overlooking two such large bodies of water as Buzzards Bay andVineyard Sound, render it the finest place for summer residence in this Com-monwealth, A fine road, over a mile in length, by the side of which areelegant residences, attracts those fond of driving; and few visit the townwithout availing themselves of this pleasure. Penzance, in the town ofFalmouth, Mass., was so named because of the striking similarity of its posi-tion to this town as compared with the location of Penzance of Englandrelative to the original town of Falmouth. 88
