Excerpt from Nelson's Guide to Lake George and Lake Champlain: With Oil-Colour Views Drawn From Photographs Taken Expressly for This Work
WE will take it for granted that the traveller has reached Saratoga Springs, that celebrated resort of lovers of mineral waters, fresh air, and amusement. We will suppose that he has visited the springs, tasted the health-giving waters, wondered at the extraordinary powers of the invalids, who rise early in order to drink, and sit up late in order to dance, and we will conclude that he is now desirous of visiting the two romantic lakes which form the subject of this little volume.
