Scope and Content
Stirling, D. M. The beauties of the shore; a guide to the watering-places on the south-east coast of Devon. Exeter: D. M. Stirling, 1838. p. 5.The walks and drives in and about Seaton are beautiful and interesting. Strong contrasts of scenery diversify the immediate vicinity; beginning on both sides of the town with stupendous naked rocks, rising in solemn majesty over the sublime deep, which are united with verdant eminences, that decline gently into the bosom of the beautiful vale, vested in its robe of green to the margin of the restless ocean. These alternating lines of picturesque, sublime, and beautiful, flowing into woodland scenes, continue to increase in variety and loveliness as far as the eye can discriminate.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
