Conclusion
PREFACE
THE sale of this little book in former seasons was so flattering to the publishers, that they are induced to undertake a sixth edition, adapted to the present season. So great and continual are the changes going on in the modes of travelling, in the routes themselves, and in the places to which tourists resort, that it is absolutely necessary to have numerous alterations made from year to year in those works which are intended as guides and companions for the traveller.
To be brief, and yet sufficiently explicit ; to furnish statistical information without being tedious ; and, in short, to give much in little on every subject that presents itself to the intelligent tourist, is the design of the present work.
Tables of distances, routes, population, steamboat lines, principal hotels, will be found in their appropriate places.
June, 1838.
