Book Description

Excerpt from The English Lake District: With Maps, Plans, of Towns, and Illustrations Now that the work is just ready to appear, I am thankful to him [the Publisher] for the opportunity of saying in this prefatory page, with what pride and pleasure I have looked over the accessories and embellishments with which, by his zeal and spirit, and by the admirable co-operation he has been so fortunate to secure, my humble work is elevated to a quality of real importance. If my gratitude to my coadjutors causes me to overrate the product of our labours, I shall not at least be mistaken in saying that we have all done our best to set forth a true presentment of the land we love, in the hope of inducing and enabling those who live in town or plain to know and love it as we do. If any think that we have painted it too fair, and that we love it fanatically, let them come and see. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
