Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lucy Howard's Journal
The rush of progress in our native clime is Without parallel in its transforming and effacing power. The sound of the woodman's axe yields to the hum of the Village springing amid fallen trunks. The city forgets the primeval forest over Whose roots it rises. Every generation takes With it to the grave some trait or treasure Which it might be curious to restore or useful to cherish.
