Excerpt from Rock-Climbing in the English Lake DistrictThe rapid exhaustion of the first edition of Mr. Owen Glynne Jones' book on 'Rock-climbing in the English Lake District,' and further numerous enquiries for copies of this unique and invaluable work, induced us to make arrangements for the publication of another issue. A third edition has now become necessary.Since the first edition appeared in 1897, several important new climbs have been made, most of which have been written about by the author, and are here found just as they left his pen. Of some of the other climbs nothing had been written, so, in response to the request of several climbing friends, an appendix, bringing the book up to date, has been added. The memoir by Mr. W. M. Crook, which is accompanied by an excellent portrait of Mr. Jones, will, we are sure, be welcomed by all as a valuable addition to the work.We are glad to avail ourselves of this opportunity of acknowledging the kindness of several friends for much valuable advice and assistance given.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
