First edition. 8vo, pp viii, 178, textual illustrations, contemporary green morocco, gilt, browning to endpapers, neat ink name on title-page, otherwise a handsome copy. "On inquiring at the Booksellers' for a guide of some sort to the Channel Islands previous to my departure from England, I was informed that there was none in existence, the only work on the subject having been issued many years ago, and was out of print. Endeavouring, therefore, to supply this deficiency, I have produced the following volume, and trust that, as the drawings for it were made with great attention to accuracy, and the larger portion of the letterpress was written on the spot, it will be found a faithful guide and pleasant companion to these beautiful Islands.".
