Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Antient Town of Cirencester, in Two Parts: Part I. The Antient State; Part II. The Modern and Present State; With Appropriate Observations, and Illustrated With Plates
In our account of the tithings, we have introduced the method of floating meadow lands. In diffemi: nating this branch of knowledge we hope to be ufeful, as the method we have defcribed is by many judicious perfons efteemed to be preferable to all others; yet it has unaccountably happened, that Mr. Marfhall has taken no notice of it in his Rural Economy of Gloucelierihire, tho' it has been'praetifed as long, * upon as rational principles, 'and with as beneficial effeas, there, ' as in any part of the kingdom. In the fa�ls which we have related, great regard has been paid to accuracy and fidelity, without which hiftory would be of no value and we have even taken care to copy the monumental inlcriptioris correeily, the want of which, in a pompous and CK penfive work, in part only delivered to the p'ubhc, has been jufily complained of.'
