笔记

First edition, of a wry account of a sojourn in Bermuda: "It is said that the Bermudas consist of 365 islands, but thus to eke out an island for every day of the year it is probably necessary to include not only all the visible, but a good many of the submarine rocks" (pages 8-9).

The attractive plates are 'St. George's Town,…', 'West end of Hamilton wharf', 'A View from Gibbs' Hill', 'Government House – Mount Langton', 'Grassy Bay, H.M.S. 'Nile'…', ' Summer Sleeping Tents at Ireland Island,…', 'The dockyard,…', and 'The Commissioner's House'.
