Excerpt from The Lancaster Sketch Book

Most of the following articles appeared in the columns of the Lancaster Gazette, with the exception of some of the sketches which were published in the Portland Transcript.

It is hoped they will prove acceptable in the more pretentious form of a book, to the residents of the town, and perhaps those whose former home was in this locality, but who have wandered far away from this pleasant valley among the mountains, will recall the scenes of other days in reading these sketches, and the summer visitor who has found health and pleasure among our hills, may find in the drives I have attempted to describe, a memory of happy hours.
