Boston - Public Garden: The Ether Monument: The Good Samaritan The Ether Monument: The Good Samaritan, designed by sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward and architect Henry Van Brunt, was dedicated on September 26, 1868 in Boston Public Garden near Arlington and Beacon Streets. The monument was commissioned by Thomas Lee and commemorates the discovery ether and its use as an anesthetic in surgery performed at Massachusetts General Hospital October 16, 1846. The Boston Public Garden, established in 1837, was the first public botanical garden in the United States. The twenty-four acre landscape, which was once a salt marsh, was designed by George V. Meacham. In 1859, an act by the Massachusetts General Court preserved the Public Garden as an open space. Together with the Boston Common, these two parks form the northern terminus of the Emerald Necklace, a long string of parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. While the Common is primarily unstructured open space, the Public Garden contains a lake and a large series of formal plantings that are maintained by the city and others and vary from season to season. During the warmer seasons, the four acre pond is usually the home of one or more swans and is always the site of the Swan Boats, a famous Boston tourist attraction. Several statues are located throughout the Public Garden. Located at the Arlington Street gate is the equestrian statue of George Washington, which faces Commonwealth Avenue. A set of bronze statues based on the main characters from the children's story Make Way For Ducklings is located between the pond and the Charles and Beacon streets entrance.
