Historical and Descriptive Sketches of the Town and Soke of Horncastle 64182 [Title: Historical and Descriptive Sketches of the Town and Soke of Horncastle [1820]] [Author: George Weir] [Subtitle: in the county of Lincoln, and of several places adjacent] [Ill.: Thomas Espin] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/4/1/8/64182 ] [Files: 64182-0.txt; 64182-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this is the first version of Weir's history of Horncastle, in England, and whilst written around 1815, there was a delay in publishing it. Gutenberg has the next edition (1822): they have long sections which are identical, but each has some material the other does not. All the best, David, Sunny but cold England
