The northern traveller, and northern tour, with the routes to the Springs, Niagara, & Quebec, and the coal mines of Pennsylvania, also, tour of New England

Preface

The present fifth edition of the Northern Traveller has been revised with care, and in many parts written over entirely anew. Abridgments have been made as far as was considered consistent with usefulness, and thus space has been found for the introduction of much matter not found in former editions. Every important improvement, especially on the principal routes, it has been the intention of the author to introduce ; and the novel modes of travelling, and various new objects of attraction, have required additions in almost every page.

The Western Traveller^ which will be found as a distinct appendix to the work, now appears for the first time : the increased travelling and emigration to the West requiring the addition of this now important department to the traveller's book. ^ The information and directions it contains are derived from the most authentic sources, and carefully condensed and arranged in such a manner as to render them most convenient for reference on the route.

Numerous prints and maps complete the recommendations of this book, which it is the intention of the author to render useful to the utmost of his power.
