It would be a most pleasant task to me, if sufficient health and opportunity were granted to me, to endeavour to do more justice to the scenery and history of this river; but many difficulties the and I impeded even writing of these short chapters ; have been compelled in some degree to modify their original plan and arrangement, especially as regards the Estuary.
