For much of its contents (especially for the "Introduction," the whole of the "Description of the Scenery of the Lakes," and a considerable portion of the "Directions and Information for the Tourist,") Mr. WORDSWORTH is answerable; and he has much satisfaction in having been the means of inducing his friend PROFESSOR SEDGWICK, to contribute "Three Letters on the Geology of the Lake District," most valuable for the importance of the matter they contain, and for the vigorous and eloquent style in which they are written.The "Botanical Notices" have been kindly furnished by Mr. GOUGH, the more ample lists of plants in the neighbourhood of Kendal being entirely the fruits of that gentleman's personal researches. For the remaining contents of the book, original and selected, the Editors hold themselves responsible; the Itineraries and admeasurements of distance having been compiled principally from GREEN'S |
