Excerpt from Windsor Castle: And Its Environs It will be perceived by the first sheet or two of this work, that the author, on commencing his task, had no expectation of finding the materials so abundant as they afterwards proved. The existing works of reference are, Pyne's Royal Residences, Ashmole's History of the Order of the Garter, Hakewell's History of Windsor, Barnes's Life of Edward III., Pote's Windsor, and Mr. Britton's Architectural Works; but the books affording collateral aid to the student are far too numerous for mention. It was the author's intention, without any parade either of reading or writing, to present in a small compass every thing really worthy of notice connected with Windsor Castle; and he trusts that his work will be found, in this respect, as useful in its literature as it is ornamental in its illustrations.
