On the Picturesque

by Uvedale Price

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Reviews

[Andragel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think it started strong on the subject I'm interested in but then got progressively worse. Rather than dwelling in major aesthetic categories, he resorted to settle feuds with other researchers by examining belts and clumps of trees up to their bark. This didn't help - at all.
