Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Surrey A history upon this scale is not intended to compete with the stupendous folios of Manning and Bray, nor with the voluminous gossip of Aubrey´s "Perambulation." Neither is it exactly similar in its objects. It aspires to give a brief general view of the history of the county, not of each place in the county, to notice events of general importance in English history which occurred in the county, and to illustrate phases of English history by examples taken from Surrey. Unlike some other counties, Surrey never corresponded to the territory of a people nor of a tribe. When it was a kingdom it was an insignificant dependent State, and only one of its kinglets has been remembered by name. It probably owed its separate existence to its position as a dependency of London, and it bids fair to become a rural suburb of London. But its position near London and the South Coast made striking events to happen in it. Every army, for instance, which ever approached London from the South had to march through Surrey. For many reasons local history is important. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
