Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellanies: Historical and Biographical; Being a Second Series of Essays, Lectures, and Reviews Northumberland affords a tempting field not only to the naturalist and the sketcher, but to the antiquary and the student of county history. The wild and mountainous nature of a great part of the county, the peculiarities of its architectural monuments, the dialect and character of its population, all mark Northumberland by striking features. Its remoteness, the separate nationality (so to speak) which it retained during many centuries, and the slight intercourse with the rest of the kingdom formerly enjoyed by its inhabitants, combined, moreover, to give this part of England many distinguishing peculiarities. Then, too, its traditions and associations with by-gone times are full of character and interest; and perhaps there is not a county where the present is seen in more striking contrast with the past, for works of "the stone age" constructed by British tribes - probably the contemporaries of the unknown founders of Stonehenge and Carnac - enduring remains of Roman military occupation, feudal structures and towers of refuge and defence, are here the characteristic representatives of times gone by.
