The Bermuda Islands are coming more prominently before the public each
season, as a health resort and winter watering place. Although it is but
sixty-five hours' sail from New York to these coral islands, yet they
are strangely unfamiliar to most well informed Americans. Speaking our
own language, having the same origin, with manners and customs prevalent
in New England a century ago, it is only now that these islands and
their inhabitants have attracted much attention and led the public to
inquire concerning them.
It is to satisfy this demand and also to bring to the notice of those
unacquainted with the beauties of these semi-tropical islands that the
writer has been led to issue this work, which is the first illustrated
guide-book and history of Bermuda yet published. The book contains two
hundred pages, and is embellished with sixteen photo-mechanical prints
made by a new process from negatives (taken by the author during the
past winter) of the finest scenery in Bermuda. This is a new feature in
the matter of book illustrations, and it makes the work both unique and
valuable.
