Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Series of Picturesque Views of Seats of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 3: With Descriptive and Historical Letterpress
Many and many a head of an ancient and honourable family is there at the present time, both titled and untitled, of whose name even not one person in every ten thousand you would ordinarily meet with has ever heard. But they are known, and well known, in their own neighbourhoods. They are content to live a quiet and peaceable life, the world forgetting, by the world forgot 5 and to do their duty in that state of life unto which it has pleased god to call them is the height of their ambition. Theirs is a happy and a useful career. They live among their tenantry, have a care for their welfare and set them a good example: they do that which England expects of every man.
