Excerpt from Appletons' Summer Book: For the Seaside, the Forest, the Camp, the Train, the Steamboat, the Arbor, and the Watering-Place Beach, covered with snipe and curlew, and a great rendezvous for sportsmen, and the long Ogunquit Beach, between which and York Beach is the remarkable rocky promontory known as Bald Head Cliff. Twelve miles Off from Portsmouth are the famous Isles Of Shoals, a sea-girt group of little islands furnished with good hotels, where one may fancy himself, even when upon the firm-set earth, far out on the bounding ocean. Here all the air is salt; the sea-spray moistens the beard and hair; and one sleeps to the murmuring of the waves. One who would forget the turmoil, the parched highways, and the dust-laden airs of the land, can at the Isles of Shoals isolate him self from all past experience, and with every breath inhale fresh sensations of pleasure.
