Journey through 18th century England and Wales as they were first surveyed, county by county, in this richly detailed antiquarian geography book. The past feels close here. Volume IX of A Description Of England And Wales unfolds as both an england and wales gazetteer and an illustrated county history, blending precise topographical notes with vivid accounts of english county antiquities. From rivers, mineral springs and soils to agriculture, markets and fairs, it captures historic England and Wales in motion, while two hundred and forty delicate copper engravings preserve palaces, castles and cathedrals England once knew in their prime, together with roman and saxon ruins, abbeys, monasteries and other vanished religious houses. Long prized by researchers of British history and by collectors of antique books as a cornerstone of the great British county histories collection, this volume also reads as elegant antiquarian travel literature, alive with curiosities, sieges, battles and the lives of notable county figures. 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 the reference shelf, the study or the armchair traveller, A Description Of England And Wales speaks both to serious scholars and to curious readers discovering the landscape and memory of a nation afresh.
