Excerpt from The Channel Islands
That the Channel Islands, as a group, deserve and require a monograph, will, it is believed, be admitted without a question. That no treatise, combining a general description of them with a careful account of their Natural History, Ethnology and Archaeology, has yet been published, is certain. It is for the public to decide how far the present work is sufficient and satisfactory.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1862, provides a comprehensive overview of the Channel Islands beyond simple geographical and historical details, also discussing their natural history and ethnology. It was a collaborative effort between Professor Ansted and Dr. Latham, and has since become a valuable resource for in-depth study of the islands and their place in history and culture. The book's descriptions of the islands' flora and fauna, and their geological formations, are especially detailed. The authors also explore the history and development of the islands' unique language, and their position in the cultural and political landscape of the English Channel.
