The Proprietors of an undertaking upon which upwards of Twenty-five Thousand Pounds have been extended, are desirous of calling the attention of the Public to a Work, which, from the number of the Plates, the beauty of the Designs, the excellence of the Engravings, and the interesting nature of the accompanying Letter-press, is peculiarly suited for an elegant and acceptable Present, and deserving a place on the Drawing-room Table, and in every Library of Illustrated Books.

The three Volumes contain no fewer than One Hundred and Twenty-six Plates, all engraved by the Findens, in their best style, from Original Drawings by all our most eminent Artists, not consisting of imaginary subjects, but of actual Landscape Views, illustrative of the scenery of Lord Byron's Life, and the localities from which he drew his descriptions; together with a highly valuable Series of Original Portraits of the distinguished Individuals whose names occupy a prominent place in his Writings, and a full and interesting Letterpress description of each Engraving : and thus, in addition to all the qualities of the pacing productions of the year, possessing an interest lasting as the fame of the great Poet whose immortal Works they are Intended to illustrate.
