Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Jersey Coast and Pines: An Illustrated Guide-Book (With Road-Maps) This aims to be an accurate descriptive guide-book to the Jersey Coast - from Sandy Hook to Atlantic City - and to the Jersey Pine Plains. New York City is taken as the starting-point, and the Sandy Hook and Jersey Southern routes as those respectively to the Coast and Pines; although one chapter, for the sake of completeness, describes the all-rail route via the N. Y. and Long Branch R. P., whose rates of fare are also included in the table of railroad fares in the Introduction. The illustrations, many of them from photographs by the author, and the maps, the first four of which are road-maps and almost in themselves a guide-book, were made especially for this work. Two fonts of type were adopted, in order to bring into sharp contrast the description of the Coast as it is and the historical portions which refer to the Coast as it was. Many historical incidents, some of them the result of original research, have been introduced; and doubtless not a few people who considered themselves familiar with the Coast and Pines will be surprised to discover how much romantic interest is attached to many of the places herein described. The author will esteem it a favor if any one discovering errors of commission or omission will call his attention to them.
