preface
	page 2:- IN giving Letter-press Descriptions with the Sixty Prints now intended for publication, the Artist had designed originally likewise to have presented a Short Guide to the Country from which his subjects have been selected; but when finished, though brief, it was swelled to a bulk much beyond his calculation, it was therefore abandoned, and a short description of each particular scene adopted. In selecting and arranging these descriptions from the body of the work, he has been tempted to say something for the accommodation of travellers - Windermere and Derwent Water were strong incentives; Wast Water has, of necessity, demanded a short description of the various approaches to it; and Ulls Water and Haws Water some account of beauties almost hitherto unknown. 72, Newman Street, London, August 15, 1814.
