About the book >.>.> WHILE the beauties of the British Islands were never so0 well or so numerously depicted as in the present day it must be matter of surprise that no Work devoted to “THE GAR- DEN OF ENGLAND.” (as the Isle of Wight is so properly deno- minated) has ever been published on the plan of combining Illustrations worthy of the subject with a concise Historical and Descriptive Guide and supplying both these desiderata at a price sufficiently moderate to meet the circumstances of all who are desirous of visiting this delightful place of resort. Few places of equal extent possess greater variety and beauty of scenery than this far-famed Island; comprehending. as it does within the space of a few miles sublime coast views terrific chasms formed by convulsions of Nature richly cultivated plains and romantic wooded seclusions. As the old rhymist Michael Drayton (in his Poly-Olbion) picturesquely sings. (SP)
