PREFATORY NOTE.
The writer of this little book has found so much pleasure in other men'swoods and fields that he has come to look upon himself as in some sortthe owner of them. Their lawful possessors will not begrudge him thisfeeling, he believes, nor take it amiss if he assumes, even in thispublic way, to hold a rambler's lease of their property. Should itplease them to do so, they may accept the papers herein contained as akind of return, the best he knows how to offer, for the many favors,alike unproffered and unasked, which he has received at their hands. Hisprivate opinion is that the world belongs to those who enjoy it; andtaking this view of the [Pg iv]matter, he cannot help thinking that some ofhis more prosperous neighbors would do well, in legal phrase, to perfecttheir titles. He would gladly be of service to them in this regard.
