Overview

Excerpt from The Ambulator; Or a Pocket Companion for the Tour of London and Its Environs, Within the Circuit of Twenty-Five Miles: Descriptive of the Objects Most Remarkable for Grandeur, Elegance, Taste, Local Beauty, and Antiquity The fluctuations of property, as was expected, have rendered many alterations indispensable in the present: edition of this Work. Of these the Editor has endea voured to procure accurate information. Besides all the corrections to the present day, the additions and improve ments have been so numerous, that this edition may be almost considered as A new work; and /in none of the articles will such information be sought for in vain, as can reasonably be expected in a work professedly ih tended as a Pocket Companion. The Editor, however, in justice to himself, cannot but remark, that he is aware that even his utmost endeavours have not secured a strict accuracy. In a volume of this kind it is absolutely unattainable. Gentlemen's seats are perpetually changing their possessors, either through that rage for speculation by which the age is distinguished, or through the depredations of the last foe, who spares no one class of society. In either cases, a few months etfect a considerable alteration; such is the evanescent com plexion of this ever-changing world! The improvement of the Work will constantly be kept in View, whereby every future edition will be rendered still more worthy of the public favour.
