Scope and Content
Cornelius's guide. DAWLISH: historical & topographical with sketches of the most attractive walks, drives and excursions. Second Edition. Dawlish: W. M. Cornelius, 1869. pp. 36-7.An excellent terraced walk extends from a little beyond the station alongside the railway to Langstone Cliffs and the Warren, at once constituting a memento of the engineering tact and skill of the late Mr. Brunel, and affording a most agreeable promenade for invalids and pleasure seekers. [
]It evidences how well taste and utility may be combined, and is really a great boon to the town, for whilst the sea breeze can be enjoyed, there is at the same time much around to interest the mind - to wit, the flowing oceans, dotted with fishing craft and other vessels; the beautiful scenery, and all enlivened by the trains with their living freight hurrying to and fro leaving their trail of steam behind them.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
