Scope and Content
Watkins, John. An essay towards a history of Bideford. Exeter: E. Grigg, 1792. p. 3.Nothing, perhaps, can be more picturesque and truly pleasing than the view above the bridge. Near the fording place a pretty large wood rises from the side of the river to the summit of a high hill of a square pyramidical form, and at the bottom of that side, fronting the town, is a beautiful small meadow, which is a perfectly natural amphitheatre, and is verdant all the year round. This, with a large antient [sic] house close by, gardens and fields in a high state of cultivation, form a landscape admirably worth the attention of the eye of taste.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
