Step into the counties of Georgian era Britain as contemporaries knew them: vivid, curious, and teeming with detail. The past lives on here. Volume III of this renowned antiquarian topographical survey offers an illustrated county description of 18th century England and Wales, uniting careful observation with the atmosphere of a historical travel reference. From English county antiquities and civic charters to agriculture, markets and manufactures, it records landscapes, townscapes and ways of life now long vanished. Copper-plate engravings of British castles and cathedrals, palaces, abbeys, Roman and Saxon ruins and other monuments turn every page into a guided tour, a resource for local historians and an evocative companion for the armchair traveller. As part of a classic British county history series, this volume stands as an early national survey, prized as a reference book for historians, genealogists and lovers of antiquarian local history books. Its county-by-county attention to soils, rivers, mineral waters, plants, trade, sieges, battles and notable lives preserves the texture of everyday and exceptional experience across the realm. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A fitting addition to any serious library, and a welcoming doorway for curious modern readers.
