Excerpt from A Journey Round the Coast of Kent: Containing Remarks on the Principal Objects Worthy of Notice Throughout the Whole of That Interesting Border, and the Contiguous District; Including Penshurst, and Tunbridge-Wells; With Rye, Winchelsea, Hastings, and Battle, in Sussex

Travelling, as the means of iinproving health, is sometimes highly necessary as well as desirable; and, as a pleasing indulgence, would more frequently be allowed to fill up a portion of that time in which it is usual to relax from the fatigues of study as well as of business, if it were not too commonly found to indispose the mind for receiving instruction. In some degree to remove this objection, and to afford to the visitors of the K entish coast an opportunity of placing in the hands of the junior members of their families a concise view of the principal objects worthy of attention there; to teach the young idea how to shoot, and to gratify rational curiosity, as well as encourage and promote those studies, of which it may be truly said that they constitute the main springs of human happiness, is the design of the present undertaking.
