 Islands, their Topography, Natural History, Commerce, Agriculture, and Civil 

 and Domestic Economy, deduced fiom authentic Sources, sufficiently ample, 

 without beii;g unnecessarily difluse, had long been a Desideratum in English 

 Literauire; and it was with a viev.- of supplying this defect, that the pres€nt work 

 was iuidert:iken. 



It will be readily admitted, a perfect acquaintance with the local History and 

 ipternal A''vantages of our Native Country is one of the most useful, oruainental, 

 and desirable branches of Human Knowledge, and there is not, perhaps, a country 

 in the world, more geiierally interesting to the Scientific Observer, than that of 

 Gkeat Britain. 



The plan of this Work has received particular approbation, from each County 

 being divided into Easy Journeys, by which means, Persons, either riding or on 

 foot, have the opportunity of viewing many Beauties which might not otherwise 

 be noticed. 



To Frequenters of the various Watering Places in the Kingdom, it 

 will be found a most agreeable GiW'/e and Camparivm. The Work m^y 

 be had complete in Twenty-six Volumes, price Six Pounds in boord>, 

 illustrated with Two Hundred and Twenty Views of the most inteiest- 

 ing objects in the several Coimties.
