POSTSCRIPT

TO

THE QUARTO EDITION OF THIS WORK.

THE Author of these excursions having now accomplished his original intention, and brought his labours to a close, bids adieu to his readers, with a few words at parting. During the progress of this protracted work, he has found the public his most liberal patrons. To one individual only, besides his engraver and his draftsman, is he under any extraordinary obligation, and that individual is now no more. While living he promoted the interests of this publication by his communications, his suggestions, and exertions. In some instances the writer has been disappointed: he has solicited information from those whom he thought competent to give it, and his letters have been too often unnoticed. His townsmen, and those who reside near him, appear to have felt a more lively interest in this work even than the inhabitants of the county the scenery and local history of which it has been his object to explore. It was his intention, originally, to produce a work nearly unique in the beauty of its decorations, elegant in its typography, interesting in matter, and worthy of the patronage of the county it professes to illustrate. To Derbyshire he is under many obligations, to his townsmen more, and he returns them his sincere thanks for their support, with a satisfied feeling, that the last part of his PEAK SCENERY will not be found inferior to the first.
