PREFACE TO THE FOURTH EDITION. THIS Handbook for the County of Kent has been drawn up from a careful personal exploration of the country, and from the most recent information that could be obtained. If, however, from the rapidity of change in every part of Great Britain, or other causes, errors or omissions should occur, those who, from living on the spot, have ready means of detecting mistakes, are requested to aid in the object of obtaining a correct guide for all corners of Old England by sending notice of them to the Editor, care of Mr. Murray, 50, Albemarle Street. The present Edition has been carefully revised; but it is obvious that the task of correcting up to date such a volume as this, is one of no common difficulty. The Editor gratefully thanks many personal friends, and others unknown, who have aided him in making this Guide more correct than it would otherwise have been. For the convenience of travellers and residents, it has been determined to divide the County of Kent from Sussex, and the two are now published in separate volumes. |
