“The twenty-two chapters treat of the seaboard provinces ... and small, well-known places. Mr. Jackson describes the churches, dwellings, and other places and things of archaeological and artistic interest, telling something, too, about the people and their characteristics in the various towns. There are also extracts from the histories of churches, pictures or persons, the towns themselves, as well as the political and national history of the places visited. The illustrations ... are photographic reproductions, drawings, plans, etc. of buildings, natives, scenes, interiors, etc.”—N. Y. Times.

“Lovers of fine architectural construction and decorative detail will delight in the many fine drawings that enrich Mr. Jackson’s delightful volume.”
