Excerpt from A Week in the Isles of Scilly: Revised and Rewritten
From Troutbeck and Woodley I have not hesitated to take whatever appeared to be of value.
To Lady Sophia Tower I beg to tender my grateful acknowledgements for her tasteful embellishment of my book. The kindness, which she has shewn in preparing her beautiful drawings for the Lithographer, has laid me under great obligations.
