In an 1856 issue of Harper's New Monthly Magazine the literary critic and biographer T. A. Richards conducted his readers through a house tour of famous literary residences in the Hudson River Valley. His itinerary and choice of authors were typical of the time. By using the picturesque vocabulary common to antebellum travel literature, Richards offered a vicarious glimpse into the domestic arrangements of successful writers and artists. He painted an edenic picture of gentility in the midst of the Hudson Valley's natural splendor. We read, for example, of the “broad lawns and slopes of Placentia,” the Hyde Park estate of the novelist James Kirke Paulding; and the “mysterious evening shadow” of Susan Warner's home on Constitution Island, just off West Point. “Dearest to us of all,” Richards added, was Sunnyside, Washington Irving's renovated Dutch farmhouse at Tarrytown. These elegant and vaguely romantic properties seemed utterly appropriate for the literary elite of the region. Like Hawthorne's Old Manse, they were architectural spaces indelibly suited to their masters' talents and temperaments.

An electrical resistivity survey of a lacustrine infilled basin in drift (Abbot Moss, N. England) clearly revealed the morphometry and internal structure of the basin. The technique also delimited extensions to the basin, which are buried beneath colluvium outside the present area of peat accumulation. Resistivity drilling has definite advantages over hand boring particularly for deposits formed between deglaciation and the onset of limnic sedimentation, or for sequences containing inpenetrable sand horizons. Geophysical techniques can provide an overall framework and gross stratigraphy of limnic deposits within which more detailed conventional Quaternary studies can be assessed.
