INTRODUCTION. 



xi 



Those also who, happily unembarrassed by 

 the sterner realities of the business of life, and 

 who, in the summer season, are attracted to 

 the sea-shore in search of health or recreation, 

 may, under the guidance of this little work, 

 sweeten the vacuity of unemployed hours with 

 healthful exertion, and enrich their cabinets, 

 as well as their friends, with specimens of most 

 exquisite and natural beauty.
