Excerpt from The Stranger's Guide and Pleasure Visitor's Companion to Netley Abbey Notwithstanding the account of the Abbey IS the most minute and explanatory that has ever yet been published, it forms but an outline of the interesting matter which this noble ruin offers for consideration, and the author is compelled to refer, for minuter de tails, to the larger volume, now preparing, as the present work is considerably extended beyond the limits originally proposed. Two other points may be referred to here - that the work is entirely original, and has been, in great part, written on the spot, and that all those one-sided state ments and bitter attacks on certain religious questions, which have been so much the fashion in guides to abbeys, have in this been strictly avoided, so that it may prove to all classes an acceptable Stranger's Guide or Pleasure Visitor's Companion. To those gentlemen who have aided the author by suggestions and information, he would here return the warmest thanks, and add that though there has not been sufficient space to embody all the hints he has received in this little publication, he hopes both to publish all these, and whatever facts he may hereafter be kindly favored with, in the larger work, where there will be a more explicit and distinct acknow ledgement of such favors.
