The late Mr. E. H. Marshall, the Librarian of our Public Library, in writing of an exhibition of Old Hastings Guides and Views of the town, said, "As literature also, Guides must not be despised ; there are bits of humour in them, quaint little touches of human nature, which come to us from the past and make the realization of them not an unpleasant occupation. Many of the books in the exhibition have illustrations of very different degrees of merit, some very rude and others really pleasing and artistic pictures. These views have a special value as showing us the former appearance of parts of the town, which are changed enough now, and in combination with the various lists of names and other bits of local information, enables us to reconstruct in imagination the Hastings of the past, the inhabitants, and their life."
