THIS BOOK 18 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.
