“I perceive that in these woods the earliest settlements are, for various reasons, clustering about the lakes, but partly, I think, for the sake of the neighborhood as the oldest clearings. They are forest schools already established,—great centres of light.”

“One of those men who reach such an acute limited excellence at twenty-one that everything afterward savors of anti-climax.”

—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
