THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO, WEARY OF THE CON- 

 VENTIONALISM AND CONFINEMENT OF CITY LIFE, BELIEVE THAT THE 

 BIRDS SING AND THE BROOKS LAUGH AND THE TREES GROW AND THE 

 FLOWERS BLOSSOM FOR THEM ; AND THAT IT IS ON THE HILLSIDES AND 

 ALONG THE VALLEY SLOPES THAT THEY MAY FIND MOST OF HAPPINESS, 

 CONTENT, AND PROSPERITY.
