The labor of preparing for the press the present little volume has been much greater than is apparent upon the surface, and consisted not so much in the actual amount of writing done as in the comparison of authorities, the securing of data and the winnowing of the chaff from the grain. This task has been conscientiously performed, and the narra tive part of inland massachusetts illustrated will be found clearand concise, suited to' popular reading and to the purpose in view - that of describing in the fewest possible words the country, the villages and cities, the public institutions, the industries and attractions presented to those who seek advantageous Opportunities for the investment of capital in productive enterprises as well as the topographical and climatic beau ties sought by the tourist for pleasure or instruction. Incidentally our pages bear witness to the energy and indomitable public Spirit of a people who have by sheer force of genius and hard work made this portion of Massachusetts the fairest and in some respects the most prosperous region of New England.
