Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Home Counties Magazine, Vol. 1: Devoted to the Topography of London, Middlesex, Essex, Herts, Bucks, Surrey and Kent It is to the reader in Essex, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Kent and Surrey, that I chielfy address these words; our supporters in London, Middlesex and Hertfordshire, know pretty well the lines which will be followed by the "Home Counties Magazine" - namely, those on which "Middlesex and Hertfordshire Notes and Queries" has been conducted since 1895. To the reader in the five counties first mentioned - the new area we are embracing - I would, then, say that I desire to make the "Home Counties Magazine" a useful and popular topographical publication. Topography is a very comprehensive word, and I use it in its most catholic sense. Particularly do I ask that scraps of local information, such as we are all constantly lighting upon, and which are as constantly lost for lack of a suitable place of deposit, may be sent to the new magazine. I also ask that its pages may be used as a medium for eliciting, by "queries" and "replies," information on different points connected with the area we cover; so that "The Home Counties Magazine" may become for London, for the places in which Londoners reside, and the places they often visit, what the old, yet ever new, "Notes and Queries" is for Great and Greater Britain. I believe that it is perfectly possible to treat accurately and usefully, matters topographical from a popular standpoint. This I shall endeavour to do, and by so doing, to make more wide-spread than it is, a thirst for that knowledge of the things of yesterday, which is so helpful in comprehending those of to-day, or in speculating as to those of to-morrow.
