X1V ADDRESS TO THE READER. 
It is, indeed, within the power of every intelligent reader, 
by assiduity and perseverance, to attain the high privilege of 
those who walk in the midst of wonders, in circumstances | 
where the uninformed and uninquiring eye can perceive 
neither novelty nor beauty ; and of being 
“ Even as one, 
Who by some secret gift of soul or eye, 
In every spot beneath the smiling sun, 
Sees where the Springs of living Waters lie!”
