bridge. It lies at the head of tidewater, the An-
droscoggin being navigable to the foot of the falls
at this place. Brunswick is handsomely laid out
and well built, principally on two wide streets
running parallel to each other, and united by
cross streets at right angles. The buildings of
Bowdoin College are situated on an elevated
plain at one extremity of the village, having in
the rear a handsome grove of evergreens. The
college buildings and the professors' houses are
arranged in good taste, and make a pleasing ap-
pearance. See Colleges.

By the falls on the Androscoggin at this place,
Brunswick possesses a great water power. Vast
quantities of timber and logs are floated down
the river, to be sawn into boards at the numerous
mills which are in operation here. Cottons and
woollens are manufactured to some extent. Much
more of this extensive privilege remains to be
improved. Possessing such an exhaustless water
power, and being at the same time situated on
navigable waters, with its river coming down
about 140 miles, through the heart of a fertile
and healthy country, Brunswick has peculiar ad-
vantages for becoming a large manufacturing
town. This place is now connected, by railroad,
with Augusta, Portland, and Bath.
