Excerpt from Vectis Scenery: Being a Series of Original and Select Views, Exhibiting the Picturesque Beauties of the Isle of Wight, With Ample Descriptive and Explanatory Letter-Press It is a peculiar feature in the vectis scenery, and Which must strongly recommend it to the attention of Strangers, that it is completely a local production, and never has been committed to the hands of either Hawkers or the London Publishers and its accuracy may be fairly inferred, from the long residence of the Artist in the island; and from the Views being studied and executed on the spot, as well as the Printing of the Plates and Letter-press circumstances which render it singularly well-suited for a remembrancer, or to be taken away for the purpose of a present to a Friend, or as an Object of Curiosity: since it always possesses the value of being a Novelty, taken to whatever patt of the Kingdom it may.
