Open these pages and step into the landscapes, towns and great houses of 18th century Britain. The past feels close here. Volume V of A Description Of England And Wales continues this classic of antiquarian county history, an illustrated topographical survey that moves county by county across historic England and Wales. Drawing on the detail and curiosity of the Georgian age, it records situation and climate, agriculture and trade, civil and ecclesiastical divisions, and the lives of notable figures, while copper-plate engravings capture palaces, British castles and abbeys, as well as Roman and Saxon ruins and other antiquities. A true complete county gazetteer, it brings together physical landscape, human story and visual splendour. Once a trusted Georgian travel reference for those journeying through the England and Wales counties, it now serves local history researchers, students of genealogy and family history, and anyone fascinated by how place, economy and belief shaped communities. Its careful notices of markets, fairs, manufactures and sieges help reconstruct lives otherwise lost to time. 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. Ideal for dipping into or shelving as the centrepiece of an antiquarian illustrated collection, this handsome volume speaks to casual readers, armchair travellers and serious scholars of historic England and Wales alike.
