PICTURESQUE BURLINGTON.


Much to our regret we Wore forced to dis
appoint many people who wished copies Of
picturesque Blu ngicn' during the holi-
dav season The first edition was all sold
out SO much sooner than we expected that
it was impossible to get another edition
ready to supply the demand. The second
edition is all ready now, however, and we
are prepared to fully supply the demands
The success Of the bool; and the words of
praise it has called forth on all hands have
encouraged lis TO believe that several moro
editions will be needed TO fully supply tho
demand a very large share Of tho books
already purchased have been sent away,
getting a wide distribution aud showing the
beauties OF Burlington to many people who
have had no Other opportunity of learning
about the attractions OF the city. Many
more could be sent out in the same way and
thus spread the fame of the city ana its in
stitutions all over the country. No doubt
hundreds of citizens will be glad to help
along the good work OF advertising Buring
ton There are, alse, we have no doubt,
many who have not yet placed n copy of the
book in their library or upon their centre
table No home in the city should be with
out n copy Of this superb volume about Bur
lington both for their own pleasure and for
the entertainment of visitors. We venture
TO say that there are few residents of Bur
lington who can read this book without get
ting a great deal Of new information about
the city in which they live,
Among tho pleasant words that have re
Gently been said in praise of the hook, we
print some Of the most notable. The sug-
gestion made by that lcvcl-headod business
man and progressive citizen, cX-Gov. Page,
if it could be acted upon by the Board Of

than any act of any organization since the
