Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beauties of England and Wales, or Original Delineations, Topographical, Historical, and Descriptive, of Each County, Vol. 13: Embellished With Engravings; Part I
The county of Souzase'r, has been more successful. It is the great mart of fashion - the splendid summer te sort of the gay and the rich, and the constant residence of a very large portion of our English nobility and gentry. And yet even this county did not find an adequate his torian before the year 1791, when the Ray. Joan Cor. Ltnsort published his very excellent History. Numerous, however, have been the books and pamphlets published in illustration of detached parts of this county; parti cularly of the cities of Balls and Bristol. These various stores of information left but little to be done in ad dition to that which they contain. 1 have, however, availed myself of the local knowledge of several intellio gent gentlemen on the spot: my greatest obstacle aris ing more from a dificulty of leaving out what could be spared, without manifest injury to my work, than from any want of materials for a much more extended survey than the limits of my plan would admit. Yet could I have foreseen certain events connected with this exten sive publication, my delineations of Somersetshire had certainly assumed a somewhat different feature. As far as I have been permitted in regard to extent, I trust the descriptions are faithful and just.
