Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Guide, or Picture of Bristol, With the Beauties of Clifton: A Descriptive Arrangement of Excursions in Their Vicinities: And an Appendix on Their Geology, Botany, &C. &C. Illustrated With a Plan of the City, a Map, &C This edition has been carefully revised, and will be found to contain much additional information, particularly in literary and curious anecdotes relative to the vicinity of the city, and a most important paper on Geology from the able pen of Mr. Cumberland. The author also owes his best acknowledgments to Mr. Miller, curator of the Bristol Philosophical Institution, and to Mr. Rootsey, for the valuable communications which enrich the appendix. Of the embellishments, it is sufficient to remark, that the plan of the City, Clifton, and the Hotwells, is engraved by Mr. Hall, whose productions in this branch of art are eminently distinguished by their clearness, elegance, and beauty. The map of the country, twelve miles round the city, is found particularly convenient for reference; and together, the plan and the map, furnish the stranger with a perspicuous guide to the several objects of curiosity and interest in the city and in its vicinity. In a word, neither labor nor expense has been spared to render this little work worthy of the ancient and opulent city it attempts to describe; and still more deserving of the patronage with which this volume has hitherto been distinguished.
