Book Description

Excerpt from Fifty Miles Around New York: A Book of Maps and Descriptions of the Best Roads, Streets and Routes for Cyclists and Horsemen In no way can you spend a more pleasant and satisfactory day than by taking a stroll on your wheel in quest of new matter for the next edition. If you contribute a new and acceptable route it will bear your name on the printed map page when it appears. It the new route contains features which are specially famous or beautiful, or of historical note, write a description of these features, as tersely and gracefully as you can and send them to the chairman with your map sketch. In making a sketch map of the route don't confuse your notes by attempting to get too much on one sheet. Better use a dozen pages for a ten mile route if necessary, and have them all clear. It will be easier to make and vastly easier to understand. Finally, don't attempt to cover a route that has already been sent to the committee. If you have a good route in mind write a line to Mr. Meserole and ask him whether it is included among his notes. That is the sort of letter he delights to receive and will promptly answer.
