I may just allude to the few rudely-fashioned wooli-cuts which have been intermixed with the text for the purpose of giving it an occasional lift. It is not meant that they should.

Excerpt from Notes on Remains of Ecclesiastical Architecture and Sculptured Memorials

The following pages, although pretending to be no more than a mere matter-of-fact sketch, are offered in the belief that they will be found to contain some particulars not altogether trite to the Northern Ecclesiologist.

Partly with a view to provincial peculiarities, and partly in the hope of finding in the outlying quarters of my selected field, traces of an Architecture more antiquated than that described in the first Chapter, it was my purpose to comprehend a somewhat larger space of country than I found it possible to go over. The marine districts of Inverness and Ross, Skye, the Small Isles, and, above all, the intricate yet most tempting shores of the Long Island, I had to leave all but unvisited. Before long, however, I trust to see them, along with other equally unfrequented spots, engaging the attention of the professors of Archæology in Scotland, who ought really to come out and do a trifle more than they have hitherto been, doing in the pleasurable business of local research.

I may just allude to the few rudely-fashioned wood-cuts which have been intermixed with the text for the purpose of giving it an occasional lift. It is not meant that they should, in all instances, be taken as strictly correct.
