Step into the counties of 18th-century England and Wales as their inhabitants knew them: rich with memory, layered with story, observed in exacting detail. Every county tells its story. Volume VI of A Description Of England And Wales is an illustrated county history and antiquarian travel guide that ranges from climate and soils to rivers, caverns, plants, minerals, markets, sieges and battles, while dwelling on English county antiquities. Across its England Wales topographical survey, 240 finely engraved copper plates depict palaces, historic castles and cathedrals, ruined abbeys, monasteries, Roman and Saxon remains, urns, inscriptions and other relics that fix the landscape in the mind. First issued in the high age of topographical writing, this meticulous British Isles topography stands alongside the greats of British local history reference, indispensable for genealogists and historians tracing places, parishes and past events, and a dependable research source for academics studying 18th-century England and Wales. For fans of Camden Britannia, it offers a more intimate county-by-county gaze on agriculture, civil and ecclesiastical divisions, manufactures, trade and the lives of illustrious men rooted in each shire. 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, and an essential addition to any antiquarian reference collection.
