Elecaiions which ftimish views of distant mmmtains, farticularhj those of Essex coimli/. 



From most of the high hills about Warrensburgh, fine panoramic views may be obtained of 

 the neiffhboring counties. One of the most accessible elevations is about a mile or a mile and 

 a half south from the village of Warrensburgh ; it is called Harrington's hill, or Prospect hill. 

 It is only about nine hundred feet high, and yet it commands on all sides an extensive or wide 

 range of vision. One of the most prominent objects is Crane's mountain in Athol. Lake 

 George, with the Black mountains, appear in the east, and the mountains of Schroon and 

 Ticonderoga or Crown Point, with Bluebeard or Pharaoh's mountain in the northeast ; and 

 in addition to these, a remarkably long ridge of a peculiar shape appears in the western 

 part of Schroon. But it is to the north that the rugged features of a moimtainous district 

 appear in bold relief. Mount Marcy is the most prominent object in this direction ; and 

 from the summit of Prospect hill, the ragged ridges seem to extend away to the northeast 

 and southwest. Several points of mountains just peer up behind the northeastern prolonga- 

 tion ; they are the sharp conical peaks near the sources of the Ausable in Keene. The view 

 from this hill is probably as widely extended as any in the State, except from a few of the 

 highest summits. This hill, in consequence of being so accessible, has its importance
