preface, page iv:-
These are the advantages proposed, in addition to the local
information they convey - a matter of no small importance,
as a branch of education. The style in which the engravings
are executed, Mr. Green flatters himself, will meet with
general approbation, as being calculated to give each
impression the appearance of a finished drawing, at less
than an eighth part of the price of such.
That this undertaking will find extensive encouragement, is
not doubted; Mr. Green having already had opportunities of
experiencing the liberal disposition of his friends in
Manchester, though untoward circumstances have prevented him
enjoying the benefits resulting from them, in the degree
that might have been hoped. Mr. Green takes advantage here
to inform his numerous friends and the town in general, that
he has made arrangements for establishing himself in London,
and does not doubt that he shall leave his situation here
with the strongest impressions of gratitude for the
continuation of that encouragement and liberality which he
has always hitherto experienced.
