To RICHARD BRINSLEY SHERIDAN, Esq. M. P. SIR, HIGHLY admiring that transcendant genius and ability which renders you conspicuous among the foremost characters of the age; nor less venerating that manly independence which has dignified your political career, even under circumstances the most trying; it must be my regret, in dedicating this Work to you, that it is not more suitable to the rank of merit to which it is inscribed. ADVERTISEMENT. THE intention of this Work is, to point out and describe such objects as command general interest throughout the country.The usual plan of Tours only comprising a particular route, unless that precise line be retraced, a Tourist is obliged to encumber himself with several books, to enable him to gain all the information that he requires. The Author has felt this inconvenience in several excursions through Great Britain; and has therefore selected from the best authorities an account of those few parts which he had not an opportunity of visiting; in order that this Work may exhibit a general survey of Southern Cambria. a 3 |
