ADDRESS.

THE great demand for correct delineation of British Scenery, of a size adapted for embellishing Books, Portfolios, Albums, Scrap Books, &c. has induced the publishers of this Work to make every exertion to render it worthy of general patronage. The best Artists in every part of the kingdom are employed to furnish pencil drawings, of which the Prints are engraved fac-similes, combining all the touch and spirit of originals, and will therefore be extremely useful as lessons in drawing to the teacher and student in that delightful art. The gentleman engaged to write the topographical description of the various views is well known to the public; and the whole will be found to be executed in a style which nothing short of a very extensive sale will reimburse, from the extraordinary low price at which it is published. It is earnestly requested that Book and Print sellers will forward orders for this Work as early as possible for their Subscribers, as they will be entitled to the earliest and best impressions. Sketches sent from any part of the kingdom will meet with instant attention and speedy insertion.
