Scope and Content
Exeter itinerary and general directory, including, besides a list of the nobility, gentry, merchants, and traders [
] a walk through the city and suburbs, [
] an abridged history of the cathedral; [
]. Embellished with a neat map of the city. Exeter: T. and H. Besley, 1828. p. 9.EXETERThe salubrity of its air, -the proximity of its beautiful meandering streams, -and the delightful prospects around, no doubt prompted the first settlers to fix their abode on the spot, for as Izacke justly observes, "this city is seated upon a hill among hills, saving towards the sea, where 'tis pendant in such sort that the streets (be they never so foul) yet with one shower of rain are again cleansed, Nature itself being the chief scavenger."[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
