Excerpt from Newport Illustrated: In a Series of Pen and Pencil Sketches
The natural attractions of Newport are great, but it does not depend on these alone to engage the atten tion of strangers who would while away a few summer days by the sea shore. On every hand are beautiful country seats of every known and unknown order of ar chitecture; numerous hotels, and all well conducted; libraries of well stored and well selected books, easy of access; society composed of the leading men of the country, in all the walks of life; stately matrons, and dashing belles - all combine their attractions, and serve to make Newport the most desirable and popular of summer resorts.
