Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the County of Cambridge, From the Earliest Account to the Present Time; Wherein Is Given an Account of Its Inhabitants, Kings, Air, Rivers, Soil, Produce, Dimensions, Hundreds, Deaneries, Seats of the Gentry, Members of Parliament, High She: Also a Particular Account of the Ancient and Modern Cambridge, With the City of Ely, and the Several Parishes Therein, Likewise an Account of the Several Towns and Villages in an Alphabetical Order The present Work was compiled, as the title expresses, by Mr. Edmund Carter, a schoolmaster in Cambridge, afterwards of Chelsea, with the assistance of some academical friends, and particularly of the Rev. Robert Smyth, rector of Woodston, near Peterborough. The author continued his literary labours in a "History of the University of Cambridge," which bears the same date as the present performance, viz. 1753.As a writer, he seems to have possessed but very moderate talent; and his materials are consequently displayed to little advantage. His History contains, however, some curious and valuable matter; especially, particulars of the ravages committed in the churches by William Dowsing, employed by the Government in 1643 to destroy all the ancient monuments and memorials as ministering to superstition, which cannot fail to be interesting to the Antiquary.
