Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Mendip Valley, Its Inhabitants and Surroundings: Being an Enlarged and Illustrated Edition of Winscombe Sketches
The Second Edition of winscombe sketches having been some time exhausted, an opportunity has been given for enlarging and revising the work, and issuing it in an illustrated form, and under a new title.
The illustrations will speak for themselves. They have been a labour of love, like the rest of the book. I have also to thank Professor Lloyd Morgan for his kindness in freely offering to contribute a paper on the Geology of the Mendips, and for the interesting chapter from his practised pen. To Canon Church, the sub-dean of Wells, I am indebted for an inspection of the Register in the Cathedral Library, from which the history of Winscombe Church has been corrected. References to other friends and neighbours will be found in the body of the work.
The delay in publication having been occasioned by the illustrations exceeding the number expected, will not, I trust.
