Large monetary results may not come from this volume, but I have gotten my reward in penning the lines that form it, for none could think and write upon the beauties and charms of Lake Mahopac without being lifted to an atmosphere higher and holier than envelops most places. After all, the book merely tells why the tourist and traveler sojourn here and why people come from all parts of the world to look in upon the little lake and its mountain ous surroundings. U. G.
