Excerpt from Leigh's Guide to Wales and Monmouthshire: Containing Observations on the Mode of Travelling, Plans of Various Tours, Sketches of the Manners and Customs, Notices of Historical Events, a Description of Every Remarkable Place, and a Minute Account of the Wye To descant on the peculiar charms of Wales would be super fluous, since they have been long and umversally acknow ledged. The Principality has frequently been called Switzer land in miniature, as it bears a very strong resemblance to that romantic country, in the beauty of its fertile vales, and the rude character of its lofty mountains, wild rocks, rapid torrents, and numerous cascades. To the lover of the picturesque it is an exhaustless store of pleasure; nor is it without interest to the antiquary, who at every step may recognise, in the decaying ruins of ecclesiastical and castellated architecture, the traces of former grandeur. Both portions of the Principality are inte resting; but North Wales is particularly distinguished for the grandeur of its mountain scenery, and South Wales for its ruined castles and busy manufactories. The vales of each are not exceeded in beauty by those of any country in the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
