The Book of the Thames: From Its Rise to Its Fall is a comprehensive account of the River Thames, written by Samuel Carter Hall and originally published in 1877. The book covers the entire length of the river, from its source in the Cotswolds to its estuary in the North Sea, and explores its history, geography, and cultural significance. Hall begins by describing the physical characteristics of the Thames, including its length, width, and depth, and the various landscapes through which it flows. He then delves into the river's history, tracing its origins back to prehistoric times and examining its role in the development of London and other towns and cities along its banks. The book also explores the cultural significance of the Thames, including its use in literature, art, and music, and its association with various historical figures and events. Hall includes numerous illustrations and photographs throughout the text, as well as maps and diagrams to help readers understand the geography and topography of the river. Overall, The Book of the Thames is a fascinating and informative exploration of one of England's most iconic waterways, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
