The Victoria History Of The County Of Suffolk Vol 1 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the County of Suffolk, Vol. 1: With Genealogical and Architectural Notices of Its Several Towns and Villages Upon the completion of the First Volume of the present extensive and arduous work, it may not seem unseasonable to offer a few observations relative to its design and prosecution. The immediate aim of its Author has been to supply, in some measure, a deficiency in topographical literature by an humble essay to illustrate the History and Antiquities of the County of Suffolk, towards which so little, except in a few favoured spots, has hitherto been done. But although his undertaking dares not aspire to the character of a complete and general History, yet his object has been to 'convey, within reasonable limits, a detailed account of every parish in the county, - to record the actions, characters, and family history of its past generations, and to perpetuate the memorials of their taste, their patriotism, and their devotion.
