About the book >.>.> The object and utility of this little work are sufficiently expressed in the title-page and therefore a few words explanatory of the nature of its publication only are necessary. Nearly all the plates are the Illustrations to two distinct local works namely THE PIC- TURE a hand-book at 4s. 6d.-and THE DESCRIPTION of the Island by the late Rev. Legh Richmond price 2s. 6d. It was considered that as very many of the Visitors to the Isle of Wight come prepared with one or other of the numerous unembellished Guides that are published (and which are often purchased previously to landing) a series of Views like the present would be supplying a regretted deficiency: and subsequently prove equally useful as a memento and book of reference to the most striking objects of see- nery which distinguish the Garden of England.
