' Extract from preface (p viii) -
'The Church at Hales is well nigh a repetition of one of the most pure specimens in the Duchy, the Chapel of St Julian, near Rouen, which has been selected for the subject of a plate in the architectural antiquities of Normandy by Mr Cotman, to whom I trust it may be allowable without impropriety, here to make an acknowledgement most justly due.

Whatever merit may be found in this collection of drawings is mainly attributable to him. To him too is ascribable that it was ever formed. My daughter had the good fortune to become his pupil during the time where he was engaged upon the publications connected with Normandy & Norfolk. that do so much (1 word) to his name, and while they copied his sketches & listened to the tale of his discoveries, they could not but imbibe & portion of his enthusiasm.
