Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harper's New York and Erie Rail-Road Guide Book: Containing a Description of the Scenery, Rivers, Towns, Villages, and Most Important Works on the Road, With One Hundred and Thirty-Six Engravings, by Lossing and Barritt; From Original Sketches Made Expressly for This Work The object of this work is to furnish the traveler on the New York and Erie Rail-road with that kind of information which every one passing over a new route desires to have in his possession. In securing this, we not only add to the pleasures of rail-road traveling, but relieve it of much of the tediousness which is so often the companion of a long ride. The work, it is hoped, will find favor not only with travelers, but with those who take an interest in the progress of internal improvements, of which our road is one of the most important, being the longest rail-road owned by one company and under one management in the world. The engravings form a prominent feature of the book. The sketches for them, as well as the accompanying descriptions, were all furnished expressly for this work by Mr. William MacLeod, and, with the exception of two or three, have never before been published. They are intended to be portraits of the scenery and objects represented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
