Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Berkshire The following pages profess to be no more than a compilation. So much has been already written about Berkshire that my chief difficulty has been to select what seemed to me the most salient periods and, I trust, most generally interesting episodes in its history. I have endeavoured, I feel very imperfectly, to show how Berkshire grew to be the ´Royal County.´ At first but an ill-defined portion of southern England, its earliest story is necessarily that of the country of which it formed a part, and I found it impossible therefore to disassociate its personal upgrowth from that of the districts that surround it. Though I have touched most briefly on its geological condition, I hold that to understand the history of any county, its physical structure must first be examined, as from the materials that compose its underlying strata its present superficial aspect is derived; and on this, too, its successive human occupation and its eventual political development are almost if not entirely based.
