There are two spellings of the author's name - Sedgwick and Sedgewick. Both spellings have been retained.

There is a map mentioned, 20 × 30 inches of the canoe courses of Northern Maine but nothing was found in this copy or any other copy of the same publication date.

“Took to his bark upon the pebbled shore,

Those unknown realms of Nature to explore.”

BY

Thomas Sedgwick Steele, Author of “Canoe and Camera,” Maps of Maine, etc.,

“Hunting is the noblest exercise,

Makes men laborious, active, wise,

Brings health, and doth the spirits delight,

It helps the hearing and the sight;

It teacheth arts that never slip

The memory, good horsemanship,

Search, sharpness, courage, and defence,

And chaseth all ill habits thence.”

Jonson’s Masques.

WITH OVER SIXTY ILLUSTRATIONS,

AND MAP 20 × 30 INCHES OF THE CANOE COURSES OF NORTHERN MAINE.
