History of Doylestown, old and new : from its settlement to the close of the nineteenth century, 1745-1900 . lestown, both in the way of increasein travel and volume of business, no one can calculate at this earlyday.

The last century. DOYLESTOWN, OLD AND NEW. 373 came in with a population of 125, and went out with 3,500, and thisprospective growth of the county seat is not in the least over are several things that point in this direction. The location of Doylestown is an ideal site for a county boroughand cannot be excelled, if equaled. The spot, the Court House standsupon, lacks only a few feet of being six hundred above tide water atPhiladelphia. The country around it is picturesque, rich, populousand healthy, and, from the steeple of the Court House, the view ischarming, equaling anything Midland England presents. Such, in afew words, is our summing up of the present and prospective Doyles-town, whose modest history we have attempted to portray. As wetake leave of the volume, and turn it over to the reader and historianof the future, we congratulate ourselves on the conclusion of ourlabor. We have nothing to say in its praise or condemnation, leav-ing that to the reader. INDKX. Armstrongs Corner, 5,
