Springfield Present and Prospective

The aim of this book is to hold the mirror up to Springfield: a community whose qualities, in their varied significance, in the many lessons to be derived there from, have little enough engaged the thought of its members; a dwelling-place whose visible charm, the pride of every resident, carrying its fair fame wherever Springfield is known, has a destiny of which we may see visions only after a careful survey of the spot as we find it today, endowed with rare gifts from Nature and stamped with the characteristics of its daily life. Nor is it aside from the purpose to proclaim our city far and wide and share our enthusiastic discoveries with a larger public.
