Boston, November 15. On Saturday a large bell was raised,
and placed in the steeple of the West Church in this town,
whereof the Reverend Mr. Hooper is pastor, which by good
judges is allowed to have the loudest and most melodious
sound of any bell in the country; and we are inform'd was
the generous present of Francis Wilks, Esq; and some of his
friends, who are well wishers to the dissenting Protestant
interest. The bells weighs, without the clapper, twelve
hundred and forty six pounds.
