About This Book

A comprehensive county survey combines concise introductory chapters on location, physical landscape, climate, flora and fauna, population, communications, industries, history and antiquities with an illustrated alphabetical gazetteer of towns, villages and hamlets. The author relies on personal observation and specialist contributions to describe churches, parks, woods, waterways, transport links and local monuments, supplying statistical notes, botanical and ornithological observations, and historical and architectural details. Photographs, maps and indices accompany the entries to help readers locate and visualise places.

THE LITTLE GUIDES

The main features of these books are (1) a handy and charming form, (2) numerous illustrations from photographs and by well-known artists, (3) good plans and maps, (4) an adequate but compact presentation of everything that is interesting in the natural features, history, archæology, and architecture of the town or district treated.

In those volumes which treat of counties, there is first a general description of the country—its situation, physical features, flora and fauna, climate, inhabitants, industries, history and archæology. Then follows an account of the chief towns and places of interest in alphabetical order.

The books are not guides in the ordinary sense of the word. They do not give the usual routes for expeditions, information about hotels, etc., but they contain information which may be sufficient for the ordinary tourist of literary tastes, and they form not only practical handbooks, but delightful gift books.
