Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Excursions in the County of Sussex: Comprising Brief Historical and Topographical Delineations
ON completing the Excursions through the counties of Sussex, Surrey, and Kent, and submitting them to the continued patronage of an indulgent public, the Editor conceives that he might possibly be considered. Wanting in respect to the readers of these numbers, in entirely omitting the prefatory matter, with which it has been customary to introduce the labours' of literature and graphic illustration to the world.
For his own part his highest aim having been to select and arrange from the most judicious topographical writers, such descriptions and remarks as appeared applicable to the several subjects before him, he has neither praise to claim, nor fears to derive censure, for what has emanated from the mmds of others. If the descriptions and remarks alluded to have been placed in lucid order, in interesting points of view, and comprised in volumes of that moderate length, which neither tires in perusal, nor prevents their being adopted as a pocket companion, to the enlightened tourist and general traveller, the object proposed has been sufficiently accomplished, and the value of the accomplishment must be alone estimated by the reader.
