Excerpt from Homes on the Sound for New York Business Men: A Description of the Region Contiguous to the Shore of Long Island Sound, Between New York and New Haven None who are familiar with them need be told that the regions of New York and Connecticut skirting Long Island Sound, from the Harlem river to New Haven, not only teem with features of historic and cotemporaneous interest, but abound in natural beauties, which pre-eminently commend them to the attention of those seeking suburban residences within easy distance of the metropolis. Those whose fortune it has ever been to pass over the great railway thoroughfare traversing this region, and forming a vital connecting link in the line of Atlantic seaboard travel, as well as being the great tributary by which New England annually pours her hundred thousand visitors and her millions of tons of freight into the great emporium of American commerce, cannot have failed to derive from their observations substantial evidences of the thrift, prosperity and promise of the various towns, cities and villages through which they have passed. Virtually, it is one continuous settlement, stretching from the Empire to the Elm City teeming with life and industry, and adorned with a wealth of natural beauty withal which the ingenuity and culture of man have not been slow to enhance parks, villas, manors and county seats, palaces which even a monarch might not disdain, lawns and landscapes which call up glimpses of England's ancestral sceneries, forests and groves, lakelets and rivers with stretches of blue sea interwoven here and there, and ever and anon a cluster of factory chimneys.
