Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts, Vol. 1 of 3: Part I, Historical Much of the remaining territory presents itself in rounded hil locks of various elevations, and in the west part of the town these prevail over a great area. Unfortunately they have to a great extent been denuded of trees. Barren wastes are found, unsightly to the eye where beauty might abound, and where rofit might be realized if the surface could be devoted to forest on ture. Nothing could be done that would be more advantageous to this almost destitute portion of the town than to cover it with the white pine, as there can be no doubt but that it would be a wise investment of money to do this if proper precautions were taken to protect the growth from destruction by fires.
