It now only remains to render a fit apology for the inaccuracy of some of the wood-cuts, \u0026amp; the disproportion of others; which if duly considered, in connexion with the work, as being executed by one hand, together with the views, within the short space of five months, perhaps will be sufficient. However, the Author takes this opportunity of mentioning, that should he be so far encouraged as to issue a second edition, he trusts his friends \u0026amp; others will favor him with their drawings, especially upon such things appertaining unto the antiquity, architecture, botany \u0026amp; natural history of the island. Hitherto, at the suggestion of others, he laments having borrowed many of his views from by-gone works, which on being compared with the original of the day, have fallen considerably short of truth, especially as regards the improved character of sylvan \u0026amp; other extensive ornamental innovation; and, in this respect, he alludes chiefly to the country churches, which though in all their architectural portions are confessedly correct, nevertheless in the back scenery are somewhat defective. He likewise acknowledges with much pleasure that he is indebted for three of the engravings to two gentlemen, whose native talents are an ornament to the island; he alludes to Mr F. C. Lukis, \u0026amp; Mr Charles Mac Culloch; also for some excellent information from Col. Lane, Mr John Allaire, jun., \u0026amp; several others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo conclude, the stranger is begged to understand, that as he may occasionally fall in with the word “Baillif,” it is used in direct contradistinction to the English word “Bailiff,” which if properly rendered signifies a menial or subordinate officer, whereas “Baillif” of Guernsey carries the important meaning of chief magistrate or judge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuernsey, August 7, 1843","brand":"Denise Henry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152899424496,"sku":"2940014648790","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014648790","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
