Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook for Travellers in South Wales, and Its Borders, Including the River Wye: With a Travelling Map
During the last twenty years. The general features of South Wales have undergone great changes in social, commercial, and even geographical points of view.
The enormous development of mining enterprise and the opening of new railways have peopled districts which were formerly uninhabited. New towns have arisen, new harbours have been formed; and the fair counties of South Wales, particularly those of Gwent and Morganwg, have woke up to a new phase of existence.
The Editor has brought the information in this Handbook up to the present day, in the hope that it will really guide the traveller to what is most worth seeing. Having lived the greater portion of his life in the district that he has endeavoured to delineate, he believes that it may be depended upon. But if any inaccuracies or misstatements should be met with (and both will occasionally creep in), he will be obliged if his readers will kindly write to him on the subject, in order that a speedy correction may follow, to the care of Mr. Murray, Albemarle Street.
