Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Picturesque Views and Description of Cities, Towns, Castles, Mansions, and Other Objects of Interesting Feature, in Staffordshire: From Original Designs, Taken Expressly for This Work, With Historical and Topographical Illustrations
The intention of the following pages has been to present short sketches of the principal Towns, and most of the Mansions and Seats of the Nobility and Gentry, with which this delightful and interesting County is so abundantly graced.
The Proprietor is aware that the Work might have been carried to a far greater extent, but he has been unwilling to increase the expenses of the Publication by elaborate details.
References have been made to the ancient as well as to the modern structures, which perhaps exceed in this those of most other Counties; Views of the most interesting will be found to be accurately delineated.
