Each year the place becomes better known, but those who early made it their summer home have stamped upon it, it is hoped, that simplicity in manner of living which will prevent it from ever becoming either a place for picnics or a fashionable resort. It can never lose the picturesque beauty and the exhilarating climate which make it a most beautiful summer sojurn from May to November, for the autumn months are as glorious in clearness of atmosphere as the early summer months are lovely in their softness of verdure and coloring, while the sunsets always kindle the imagination into visions of the future.
Transcriber's Notes:
Throughout the book, the current town of Welshpool was referred to as Welch Pool. A review of the internet reveals that this alternative spelling has often been used.
On page 13, the phrase "had do other" was replaced with "had no other".
On page 17, "March, 28, 1789" was replaced with "March 28, 1789".
Starting on page 21, there is a section labeled "Nomination Day" which has an extended quotation starting in the middle of the first paragraph and continuing to the end of the section. That quotation had markers at the beginning of the paragraph and at the end, but not at the start of each paragraph within the quotation. The quotation marks were not modified to current usage.
On page 22, "descendant's" was replaced with "descendants".
On page 24, "arrrive" was replaced with "arrive".
