Excerpt from Monmouthshire From Col. J. A. Bradney's valuable History of Monmoutbsbz're, and from the journal of the Cambrian Archaeological Association (arcbaologia Carnot-ends). The Geology we have got chiefly from Kelly's Directory, and the Biography from the well-known d.n.b. But the knowledge derived from books we have supplemented or verified, in the case of nearly every locality, by personal investiga tion. Our acquaintance with certain parts of the county has been long and intimate; and all those portions with which we were less familiar we have visited either separately or together in the course of the last two years. The chapter on the Fauna and Flora is the work of two gentlemen, T. W. Proger, Esq., and W. A. Shoolbred, Esq., who have most generously helped us in connection with these subjects, on which they are authorities; and our cordial thanks are also due to the Rev. H. J. Riddelsdell for valuable assistance. Even with all these aids, we cannot, indeed, hope that we have entirely avoided mistakes. But we have at least done our best to render our little volume a trustworthy guide to a most interesting and delight ful district, which those who come to know it will hold in the same affection as do.
