First line:
The lapse of two centuries, or thereabouts, is bound to produce a change in the aspect of a place, although it is astonishing with what slowness the evolution proceeds in some west country villages thanks to the ingrained conservatism which Byam and Addison (singular conjunction!) noted in the days, and which has characterised the sons and daughters of the soil down, almost, to the present time.
