Caernarvonshire (Wales) -- Description and travel
THE following small compilation (for it claims no higher title) was made
at the request of several friends, as the want of such a little Manuel
principally for the use of Strangers, was generally known and
acknowledged. The Writer would not have permitted his name to appear,
had he not been persuaded by the Publisher, that the countenance of even
such an obscure individual would in some degree tend to promote the sale
of the work. Some of the Subscribers, there is reason to apprehend,
expect a full and complete History of the County, but surely they do not
suppose that such a work could be compressed within the compass of an
octavo volume, or sold for such a small sum.
At some future period, the Writer would not be unwilling to undertake
such a Publication, (should he meet with proper encouragement, and his
life be spared) as he has for many years been collecting materials for
such a work.
