Mount Mansfield and Its Environs

Excerpt from Mount Mansfield and Its Environs: Views and SketchesGrasses for which Vermont is so noted. And then, as you lift your eye over the expanding landscape, you behold all the beauties and contrasts that so peculiarly characterize American scenery, lying in picturesque com bination, and spreading out far and wide to greet the delighted senses. The many and multiform dark wooded mountains, the darker corresponding valleys, the thou sand intermingling hills and ridges, with their long, hazy dales and sequestered glades, the alternating squares of field and forest, the winding streams with their glancing waterfalls and cascades, and the wood-girt lakelets, sparkling up through the trees like silver threads, and bright gems interwoven and set, as if to light up and beautify the more sombre aspect of the groundwork, and lastly the solitary farm-houses, with their cosy, sur rounding openings, the more social-looking hamlets, and the ambitious white villages gleaming, at intervals, through the fringing tree-tops, and sending up their hundred church spires to mark their progress in arts and civilization, - these, all these lie spread out before you in their brightest beauty and magnificence. And over all these the gratified eye wanders on and on, till the vision, growing dim in the blue distance, at length rests on Mount Washington, which lies low outstretched on the extreme verge of the eastern horizon, like white wreaths of foam driven upon some distant beach of the ocean.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
