Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Times Re-Visited in the Borough and Parish of Lymington, Hants As to the Sketches which accompany the text, and I hope enliven it, perhaps I may be allowed to say a word or two. For several reasons it was found impossible to employ an artist (who would necessarily be a stranger from a distance, entirely unacquainted with the locality) to delineate subjects, several of which have been long destroyed, and others of which the originals could not be borrowed or transmitted for copying. I have been obliged to rely on my own hand for their execution; and as the work of an amateur advanced in life they will be judged as they deserve. They are merely pictorial memoranda, of things that could not be described by words. They make no pretence to fine execution or artistic taste, and will therefore, I hope, escape criticism.
