Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Description of the Western Islands of Scotland, Including the Isle of Man, Vol. 3 of 3: Comprising an Account of Their Geological Structure; With Remarks on Their Agriculture, Scenery, and Antiquities The following Plates contain sketches of different kinds, intended to illustrate various circumstances occurring throughout the preceding descriptions, of which no accurate idea could be conveyed by words. The economy which it was judged expedient to study in these volumes, has rendered it necessary to limit these illustrations to the most indispensible. For the same reasons they have been, in most cases, reduced from the original drawings, to the least space on which it was possible to express them, and crowded together, in no very regular order, into a small compass. The defects hence resulting are numerous; since a general idea has been frequently substituted for a fact, an imaginary for a real section, or an assemblage of lines for a view. The proportions of the parts have also been almost every where sacrificed, for the purpose of condensing the abstract nature of the thing to be represented, not the object itself, into the space to which it was condemned. They must only be considered as the ghosts of subjects to which a body is wanting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
