<h1 id="id00013" style="margin-top: 7em">PREFACE.</h1>
<p id="id00014" style="margin-top: 2em">Three years ago I spent some six weeks on Nantucket Island, making the
town of the same name my headquarters, but visiting other points of
interest, to which I take the characters of my story; so that in
describing the pleasures of a sojourn there during our heated term, I
write from experience; though, in addition to my own notes, I have made
use of Northrup's "'Sconset Cottage Life" to refresh my memory and
assist me in giving a correct idea of the life led by summer visitors
who take up their abode for the season in one of those odd little
dwellings which form the "original 'Sconset."</p>
<p id="id00015">Should my account of the delights of Nantucket as a summer resort lead
any of my readers to try it for themselves, I trust they will not meet
with disappointment or find my picture overdrawn.</p>
