FIRST EDITION WITH THE FULL COUNT OF TWENTY-FOUR PLATES OF SOME OF ENGLAND'S MOST BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE. The author and artist have joined forces to create here a fine and beautifully illustrated work on the uplands forming the High and Low Peak that southern vertebra of the rocky backbone that runs through the upper half of England with ribs stretched out along its lateral river-valleys. There are depicted here in the beautiful paintings by Mr. Biscombe Gardner the moors and tablelands and rugged ridges hollowed by deep glens the dales and cloughs which with their rich show of crag wood and torrent make its most striking scenery.
