Excerpt from Handy Guide to the Country Around New York: For the Wheelman, Driver and Excursionist

A preface for a book of this kind must take the form, if any, of an explanation. The purpose - for which originality may be claimed has been to suggest to citizens of the more crowded parts of New York and the adjacent cities, the means for taking recreation trips, at a small expense of time and money, into the suburban districts. The situation of New York provides for an almost inexhaustible variety of scenes and outdoor pleasures, attractive to the rambler along the seashore, upon the rivers or inland and it is believed that a book that attempts to indicate the character of the country in all directions from the city, the nature of the roads and stopping places, and the means of reaching each to best advantage, will be welcomed by a large class of citizens.
