First sentence: IN the south-eastern part of the old town of Ipswich, Mass., on an island which rises in its centre to a considerable elevation and commands a view of the open ocean and the neighboring villages, RUFUS CHOATE was born, as his father, with ancient precision, recorded the event in the Family Bible, "Tuesday, Oct. 1, 1799, at 3 o'clock, P.M."
