Preface page ii:-
IN TRUTH A MORE PLEASING TOUR THAN THESE LAKES HOLD OUT TO MEN OF LEISURE AND CURIOSITY CANNOT BE DEVISED. WE PENETRATE THE GLACIERS, TRAVERSE THE RHONE AND THE RHINE, WHILST OUR DOMESTIC LAKES OF ULLS-WATER, KESWICK, AND WINDERMERE, EXHIBIT SCENES IN SO SUBLIME A STILE, WITH SUCH BEAUTIFUL COLOURINGS OF ROCK, WOOD, AND WATER, BACKED WITH SO TREMENDOUS A DISPOSITION OF MOUNTAINS, THAT IF THEY DO NOT FAIRLY TAKE THE LEAD OF ALL THE VIEWS IN EUROPE, YET THEY ARE INDISPUTABLY SUCH AS NO ENGLISH TRAVELLER SHOULD LEAVE BEHIND HIM.
Mr. Cumberland's Dedication to Mr. Romney.
