TESTIMONIALS. 
from Hon. J. T.* Headley, the Historian, Author of 
“Adirondack, or Life in. the Woods,” Ac. 
rftia admirably written, and has lust enough of bn- 
b Ot, sentimenl* and description of scenery mixed, to 
_ake it delightful. The illustrations are well chosen 
frfi very effective, while tnc instructions respecting 
lutes, localities, distances, oulilts* &o., embrace 
rfcrythfng that can he desired. Taking it all in all* 
.. is the moat complete book that has been published 
[A the Adirondacks, not excepting even mv own—a 
' uplluieut that 1 trust; will be properly appreciated. 
Its extraordinary disinterestedness. 
-im. Albert B. Street, the Poet, and Author of 
“Woods and Watery” ' The Indian Pass* 11 Ac. 
•I thiuk it Is the font work on the forest that haa ap- 
earod—superior in word-painting to Aim ray’s, ar.d 
ill of wood pictures and vivid scenes, of catup-Kfc. 
To realize that wc are in the forest, are living with 
on in the armies doseriMed, and that the trees are 
mvlng and the waters ilowing over mid by ua. This, 
.think, the true test of a good hook, impressing Us 
aujity and distinctive life dtn.he mind. As a “Guide 
took^” it Is most creditable and valuable. Indeed, it 
• ilie only thing of the kind that haa yet been pub- 
jMlfcd—me very thing that haa been so long wanted 
nd walled for. It must have cost you intense appli¬ 
cation and labor. You may well be coutunt that you 
4i»ve produced a good book. 
From Benson J. Lousing, the Historian. 
I have read, those portions descriptive of the places 
thick cams under rny personal observation, with the 
Repost interest, and most cheerfully UiatiTy to the
