Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Picturesque Views and Description of Cities, Towns, Castles, Mansions, and Other Objects of Interesting Feature, in Shropshire: From Original Designs, Taken Expressly for This Work Although Shropshire has not, like most of our Counties, had to boast of any great or elaborate Historian, yet various portions of its Antiquities, Historical Associations, and its Picturesque Beauties, have been ably and interestingly described in various detached Publications, which rank beyond what are usually termed "Guides;" and as they enter very fully into descriptions of particular places, remarkable for their Antiquities, Public Buildings, and Institutions, we shall duly notice them, particularly in a description of Shrewsbury, Ludlow, &c. &c. Mr. Nightingale´s History of the County, as attached to, and forming a portion of, the "Beauties of England and Wales," is perhaps the most full and general description of it. He states in his Preface, that he engaged Mr. Rylance to make an actual Survey of this interesting County, and that from the fruit of his friend´s exertions, aided by the obliging communications of several gentlemen resident in Shrewsbury and other places, and by availing himself of the little which printed materials furnished, he drew up his account. This account was published in 1813. Great alterations and improvements, have subsequently taken place, which will be duly noticed.
