Tour through the Eastern Counties of England, 1722
By Daniel Defoe
Length4h 18m
About this audiobook
Defoe's "particular and diverting account of whatever is curious and worth observation" in his native country, told in a series of letters, was founded upon seventeen separate tours in the counties, and three larger tours through the whole country. He said he had "viewed the north part of England and the south part of Scotland five several times over," and he thought it worth while to note what he saw, because, "the fate of things gives a new face to things; produces changes in low life, and innumerable incidents; plants and supplants families; raises and sinks towns; removes manufactures and trade; great towns decay and small towns rise; new towns, new palaces, and new seats are built every day; great rivers and good harbours dry up, and grow useless; again, new ports are opened; brooks are made rivers; small rivers navigable pools, and harbours are made where there were none before, and the like." We are endeavouring, by little books published from time to time in this "National Library," to secure some record of the changes in our land and in our manners as a people, and of what was worth record in his day we can wish for no better reporter than Defoe.
