The Cambrian Directory [1800], by Anonymous 58153 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/5/58153 ] [Files: 58153-0.txt; 58153-h.htm] For those wishing to know: an early guide, published 1800, to Wales, for those wishing to tour it. This was the model for a whole series with variant titles etc. and where the Welsh spellings differed edition to edition, and often were varied within a single edition too! Thoughtfully the author(s) included suggested walks and longer tours, giving milages etc. All the best, David, England which is getting colder, snow forecast

His is perhaps most famous for treating the poet John Clare. This book is really a collection of thoughts and writings, and also his defence in a court case. All the best, David, England, cool but still dry

Visits to Fields of Battle, in England, of the Fifteenth Century, Brooke 58147 [Author: Richard Brooke] [Subtitle: to which are added, some miscellaneous tracts and papers] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/4/58147 ] [Files: 58147-0.txt; 58147-h.htm] For those wishing to know: Richard Brooke (1791-1861) was an antiquarian, very interested in the Wars of the Roses and he would visit the places of many of the famous battles, often to work out points which the historians had passed over. The text is generally very readable and interesting, and the footnotes are copious and very detailed. I've read a few modern books on the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 (the first he covers), and they all cite Brooke, and owe a great deal to him. All the best, David England where we've had a bit of rain, but it's stopped now

A Topographical Account of Market Lavington, by Henry Atley 58146 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/8/1/4/58146 ] [Files: 58146-0.txt; 58146-h.htm] For those wishing to know: the Rev. Henry Atley (1799-1881), an independent minister, published this account of the small town of Market Lavington, where is worked, in 1855. He spends quite a bit of the book on Church matters but that's understandable, as there wasn't a lot else there. It also includes an account of David Saunders the shepherd of Salisbury Plain, who was the subject of various pious tracts and lived in the area. All the best, David, Windy England, quite warm
