Excerpt from Through the Wordsworth Country
I may add that Mr. Goodwin's drawings in the present work were originally taken as illustrations of T/ze English Lake District, and inserted in the pages of his copy of that book, as he drew them during successive years They appeared to me so admirable, that I hoped Mr. Goodwin would be induced to reproduce them, indepen dently of an accompanying letterpress. They seemed of much greater value than any prose description could be, as illustrative of a district of England, the characteristic features of which are being rapidly changed by the intro duction Of machinery, railways, water-works, etc., and which posterity might in vain wish to recover from Oblivion.
