About the book >.>.> ALL “PUFFING” has been avoided in the compilation of the following pages; whether to gratify interested friends or to improve the style by too liberal a use of elegant and superlative epithets- often creating an expectation in the mind of the stranger which will be disappointed on the first view of the object so blazoned forth with unmerited encomiums. But though the author’s aim has been through- out to sketch with the strictest fidelity and sobriety of coloring yet as scarcely any two persons will ever give the same measure of praise to any one object so of course there will often be a con- siderable difference of opinion between him and his readers on the questions of taste and local beauty; but it is to be hoped however great such difference may be his veracity will not be too hastily impugned.
