Federer 1889, p. 21, quote: Of Gent's literary activity it is difficult to speak without admiration: true, some [..] affect to sneer at Gent's attainments, and have nothing but contempt for the rude woodcuts and vile typography of his later productions.

Federer 1889, pp. 21–22, quote: Mr. Hunter, whose authority as a historian and antiquary is unquestioned, and who is no mere amateur critic, declares that "Gent's performances were not, like too many modern books of topography, mere bundles of pillage from the works of ingenious and painstaking authors, but contained matter honestly collected, and not, before his time, made public by the press." The extent of his miscellaneous and general information, the result of an indefatigable course of reading and research, was enormous; and his data are correct to an astonishing degree. The editor of the present volume has verified some hundreds of Gent's references to works of the most varied description, and found every one of them strictly accurate. Federer, Charles A., ed.
