Excerpt from Sherman's Bar Harbor Guide, Business Directory and Reference Book Many people are deterred from visiting Bar Harbor by the idea that there is a tedious, uncomfortable and expensive trip, by land or water, between them and this paradise of summer resorts this work will strive to show them that they can travel cheaply, rapidly and luxuriously in the most modern of steamboats or palace cars. In fine, it will be the endeavor of the editor to correct all those erroneous notions about Bar Harbor life which have sprung rather from a lack of information than from misstatement; and toil lumine the path thither in a manner that, it is hoped, will lead many to tread it to their lasting benefit, during the coming summer. It is with a deep sense of his inability to depict attractions to which the talent of even the greatest of modern artists has failed to do full justice, that the writer begins his task. But he is comforted in the reflection that those of his readers to whom the scenery is familiar can fully appreciate the difficulties of the work, while those for whom the future still holds the pleasure, will forget the feeble copy in the contemplation of the sublime reality.
