Excerpt from A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain; Divided Into Journeys, Vol. 1 of 6: Interspersed With Useful Observations; Particularly Calculated for the Use of Those Who Are Desirous of Travelling Over England Scotland In the present work, though the editor had the former editions of the Tour through Great Britain in his eye, he has not been led implicitly to copy it, nor to follow that plan, if any regular plan was intended to be pursued in that work. He has, in the present volumes, divided the whole of the kingdom into different journies, as the roads from London may extend, wishing to note all places of which any thing can be recorded worthy the attention of the traveller or the reader; as much as he could, adding historical information to local description, and preferring plain narrative to beautiful or ornamental language. In the first volume he has given a short view of the history of England, of Wales, and of Scotland; with a survey of each of the counties, respecting their ancient and their present state, their agriculture, commerce, parliamentary consequence, and population; and this by way of introduction, that the journies might be less interrupted with observations, in themselves proper, but more applicable to the state of the county at large than the particular town or village in review: this occupies half the first volume.
