About this title

Synopsis

A Description Of England And Wales: Containing A Particular Account Of Each County. Embellished With Two Hundred And Forty Copper Plates, Of Palaces, Castles, Cathedrals is an 18th? to early?19th?century reference work presenting an alphabetized index to a large antiquarian volume on Britain and Ireland. It surveys places, monuments, natural features, and notable people across England and Wales, with extensive entries on towns, rivers, churches, abbeys, castles, parks, mines, and megalithic remains; engravings and plate references accompany many entries. The work combines geography, archaeology, architecture, biography, and local history to form a cross?referenced atlas?like resource designed for researchers and readers seeking location?based knowledge, biographical context, and descriptive histories. Regions such as Wiltshire, Yorkshire, and the East Riding are treated in depth, alongside Roman sites, Druids?era remnants, and medieval houses. The text emphasizes cross?links among lives, descriptions, and plates, and often notes fairs, markets, governance, and notable estates. Composed in a style that aligns with late 18th? and early 19th?century scholarship, it blends travel narrative with antiquarian inquiry, producing a richly illustrated reference suitable for cataloging by geography, site type, or biographical entry.
