Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Account of the White Mountains of New Hampshire
It is not however for their great elevation alone, that moun tains become interesting to the naturalist and traveller. Those of minor or secondary size, are equally objects of curiosity, and often furnish to the explorer more satisfactory results. The mediocrity of their height renders them of course more accessible, and more susceptible of investigation in all their parts. Being short of the limits of perpetual snow, they are covered with vegetables, wherever the earth on them is sudici ently deep. The prospect from such mountains, as Baron Humboldt has observed, is far more interesting, than that from extreme elevations, where the scenery of the adjacent country is lost and confounded by the remoteness of its situation.
