Excerpt from Sand Dunes and Salt Marshes The sand dunes and marshes of Ipswich in Massachusetts have been for many years the subject of close and loving scrutiny by Dr. Townsend. He knows them in every aspect, in every season. He knows their humblest ih habitants, the Shells cast up on the beaches, the changes wrought by wind and wave, the tracks of tiny feet upon the sand, and, best of all, has caught the spirit of the place, which is as dis tinct from that of the mountains or the plains, as Athens is from Rome.
