Excerpt from Observations on the Ancient and Present State of the Islands of Scilly: And Their Importance to the Trade of Great-Britain; In a Letter to the Reverend Charles Lyttelton, LL. D., Dean of Exeter, and F. R. S

Reverend Sir!

If I fall short of any one of my obligations to you, don"t let it be imputed to my negligence, but to the number of those obligations, and the difficulty of levelling accounts where there is so much due: among the rest, since you are not contented with the short sketch I have already given you of the Scilly Isles, I acknowledge my promise to give you a particular account of my little voyage to them, and instead of apologizing for not doing it sooner, I proceed to acquit myself of that engagement as well as I can.
