Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Missions of Nueva California A word as to the illustrations. In sketching the Missions, the writer has drawn them with strict regard to architectural and topographic truth, eliminating only such Objects as were pal pably intruders Of a later date. A railroad and a telegraph line in front Of a church building; a mound Of hay and a mowing machine close to an arched Cloister; a modern windmill for pumping water, looming up high above the walls enclosing a patio, - such things are better left unrecorded. This a photo graph cannot do, and the writer has made use Of photographs only for those Missions he has not sketched, or which, if taken some years ago, Show the subject in a less ruined or altered con dition. Nearly all Of the writer's drawings were made in 1895, but some Of the photographs are Of an earlier date. In addition, three or four Old prints, reproduced in the Land of Sunshine magazine, have been reprinted from that magazine. In speaking of the earthquake of 1812, page 46, it is stated that only three earthquakes causing loss Of life have occurred in what is now the United States. Down to December, 1899, this statement was correct, but at the present time it is no longer true. On Christmas morning Of last year, a few minutes after four O'clock, a somewhat severe shock was felt generally from los Angeles to San Diego, which resulted in doing some twenty thousand dollars' worth of damage to buildings and property at San Jacinto and at Hemet. At Saboba, an Indian village near San J acinto, about thirty Of the oldest squaws had gathered, the night before, in an Old adobe hut, to celebrate Christmas with their legendary Indian games.
