THE

BEAUTIES

OF

England and Wales:

OR,

ORIGINAL DELINEATIONS,

TOPOGRAPHICAL, HISTORICAL, AND DESCRIPTIVE,

Incorrect pedigrees, futile etymologies, verbose disquisitions, crowds of epi
taphs, lists of landholders, and such farrago, thrown together without me-
thod, unanimated by reflections, and delivered in the most uncouth and
horrid style, make the bulk of our county histories.
GOUGH.
