Description
Excerpt from The Isles of Shoals: An Historical Sketch
Since the original edition of this little work was published, important changes have occurred at the Shoals. Another of those summer palaces, replete with every convenience and elegance, has arisen on these barren rocks another steamer brings daily still other swarms of pleasure-seekers and invalids from all parts of the country to these salubrious islets. The Shoals have become the most frequented, and perhaps the most fashionable summer resort in New England. The circle of readers has thus been so widely enlarged, that we find ourselves called upon to issue another edition, in answer to a larger demand than we had anticipated.
In this second edition, we have thought fit, in some parts, to enlarge the original text of our Monograph, wherever the new matter seemed likely to be inter esting or had the merit of novelty.
