Guide book, The Lakes of England, by George Tattersall,
published by Sherwood and Co, Paternoster Row, London, about
1836.
A map and the prints are recorded separately (the plate of
Loweswater, listed to be opposite p.84, is the
frontispiece).
The author has drawn his own pictures, and explains, in the
preface:-
'... "Without a pencil," says Mr. West, a clever and
observant traveller, "nothing is to be described with
precision; and even then, that pencil ought to be in the
very hand of the writer, ready to supply with outlines every
thing that his pen cannot express by words." True; but in my
humble opinion, for the purposes of description, with
reference to the pointing out of a scene to which the
beholder is a perfect stranger, all the powers of language
will fall short of a faithful effort of the pencil. Such was
the conviction of my own experience as a stranger; and in
the results of that conviction will be found my second
novelty, of execution.'
'Here are my main stays; here my chief hopes of support.
Fail these, I go the way of all dismissed and superannuated
Guides.'
'The method which I have endeavoured to pursue in the
following pages, is that of introducing the reader to those
"faor scenes," of which the drawings, by their references,
must then explain the component features. ...'
