Note—The north Peak of Moose-Hillock is rather higher than the south Peak. At the time I was on the South Peak, the weather was so extremly thick and9 inclement as to prevent my passing to the North-Peak. From my own observation however, and from the best information I could obtain, I think the difference between the two Peaks does not exceed one hundred feet. I presume therefore that 4636 feet may be taken for the Altitude of the North Peak, without essential error. This is undoubtedly the most elevated Mountain in the northern States—if not on this side the Mississippi—The white Mountains excepted. It is situated in the10 State of New-Hampshire about 45 miles—northeasterly—from Dartmouth College, and about 15 miles east from the Village of Haverhill which adjoins Connecticutt river. It takes its name from having formerly been a celabrated range for Moose—Ascutney is an11 insulated mountain in the State of Vermont situated about five miles South-west from the Village of Windsor, and about the same distance West from Connecticutt River—distant from Moose Hillock about Sixty three12 miles southwest. The prospect from its summit, embracing a large portion of the States of Vermont and New Hampshire, is very fine13—I have witnessed more extensive ones, but never a more beautiful one. The foregoing Altitudes Were all determined14 from Barametrical and Thermometrical15 observations, in the month of August 1817—
