The improvements of the present Edition will be found very considerable; the Statistical, Historical, and Antiquarian Notes interspersed throughout the work have been largely increased; indeed, so much new information has been introduced, that the work is more Topographic than it has hitherto been, while the most casual comparison will show that the Alphabetical Lists contain more names, and that the Classified Sections are far more developed, than the same portions of any work yet published for the County. The work is arranged in Alphabetical order, so far as the Parishes in the County are concerned; but a copious Index is given, by means of which the numerous Hamlets and the principal Farm-houses may be easily ascertained.
