From the Author's Note to the First Impression:  In doing so, I make no attempt to produce a work of any critical value, my aim being rather to give a broadly pictorial representation of the life and scenery of the country, and particularly those places of each which lie off the beaten track.  Nor do I pretend to fully illustrate my text or describe my illustrations; but my hope is, that each, amplifying the other, may convey to the reader a little of the fascination of the country, and perhaps excite some feeling of sympathetic interest in a people I have learned to like so well.
