LANG-BlRELEY CO. 3 l I V, R S r SECON LOS A * Preface n Placing This Folio Collection before the public, the com- piler takes pleasure in stating that it is the only complete collection ever issued, containing, as it Joes, all the Missions of California, together with the "Home ol Ramona," the bath house used by the Mission Fathers over one hundred years ago, and the celebrated chair imported from Spain by Father Junipero Serra. The Missions herein represented are located about forty miles apart, ten having been founded by Father Junipero Serra and the others by his successors, all of whom have long since passed away. Many of the Missions themselves are now in ruins noth- ing but mounds of adobe marking the place where once they stood — thus making this collection a valuable agency for per- petuating their memory, as well as a charming souvenir of California during the most poetic epoch in its history.
