John Marius Wilson Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A comprehensive article on all England and Wales, similar in structure to each of the articles on each of the counties, but more in detail, with a wider range of topics, exhibiting all England and Wales in one view, and serving as both centre and cincture to the entire work, is an important portion of the Gazetteer. A thought was at first entertained to place it at the beginning, by way of Introduction; but mature consideration decides to place it at the end. It will figure there, not as an Appendix, but as a Summary; and, while present ing information peculiar to itself, will throw reflected light on words, phrases, statements. Descriptions, or other matters in almost all the articles.
