Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hand-Book of Epsom: With Illustrations on Wood and Steel, Embracing the Villages of Ewell, Letherhead, Ashtead, Banstead and Chessington, With Their Varied Points of Attractive Scenery, Fishing on the Mole, the Downs, Geological, Botanical Entomological Notices, With a Map If it be true that a Preface is never read - he is not wise that writes one. The design of this little book is so plain on its title, as scarce to need prefatory matter. We would, therefore, but insert these lines to acknowledge our obligations to many friends for statistics supplied, especially to Rev. A. Barrett, M.A., of North Cheam, for his geological notice; and to Rev. B. Bradney Bocket, M.A., Vicar of Epsom, for that of the entomological peculiarities of this district. We would also request that we may be favoured by any corrections of this, as well as local information which may add interest to a future edition. Our only regret is, that on account of the limited field a Hand-Book affords, many facts of the greatest interest have been necessarily omitted, which were the space large we might with advantage have included.
