The description of Plate 1. at page 25. having been made from the original drawing, does
not in a few places correspond with the plate ; because, through thé haste ot the
engraver, the minuter details in the outline of the distant mountains,. and some other
particulars of less moment, have not been sufficiently attended to. But this, however,
does not affect the general correctness of the view.
