Synopsis
Excerpt from Wharfdale: Or, a Description of the Several Delightful Features of That Extensive, Splendid and Fascinating Valley, Interspersed With Other Topographical Illustrations of Its Towns and Villages
Some there are, no doubt, who may look into this small volume with the expectation of obtaining from it such a general know ledge of the Valley of the Wharfe as they could wish to possess of the whole of the Island in which they live, whether remarka ble for beauty or otherwise. Such are trades men, farmers, and almost every class of the middle rank. To those, also, who may take up the book for amusement, such a summary as is here proposed, will be highly necessary, that whilst they are going over the descrip tion of its curiosities they may assign to them their proper places, without confusion en terin g in their ideas.
The Wharfe is one of those rivers which add so greatly to the beauty of Yorkshire.
