It is intended more especially for the Tourist, and presents, in a condensed form, the outline facts most useful to those visitors of the Channel Islands who chie?y desire suggestive information. If further and more detailed ac counts are required, they will be found in the larger work by the Editor already alluded to, or in the local island histories. Of these latter.
