Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In describing the features of the scenery no at tempt has been made to paint in high colors. In deed, on a te-reading of the manuscript the im pression is that, in the desire to avoid the flamboy ant at all hazards, the balance may have been weighted a trifle on the conservative side. But if a mistake has been made, it is in the right direction; and the writer states here his plain belief that Cali formia, with her magnificent mountain range of the Sierra Nevada, her generally diversified configura tion, a shore-line extending through nearly ten de grees of latitude (with the variety in climate and in animal and vegetable life which that fact implies), and a history tinged first with the half-pathetic ro mance of Spain and then by the brief but lurid Epic of Gold, is by much the most beautiful, interesting, and attractive of all the States of the Union.
