Scope and Content
Sanford, John. The tourist's companion; being a guide to Devonport, Stoke, Morice-Town, Stonehouse, and Plymouth. Devonport: W. Colman, c.1825. p. 19. DOCK-YARD. In contemplating this great naval arsenal, we may regard it as one of the primary sources of the increased extent, wealth, and population, of the whole port of Plymouth, and as the immediate parent of the town of Devonport. It has been recorded as a subject of great astonishment, that the national facilities of its scite had not before attracted the attention of government; but from whatever cause this neglect preceeded, it is certain that after the age of Elizabeth and of Drake, the want of such an establishment, on the western shores, was severely felt, and justly complained of, long before any measures were taken to compass an undertaking of such great national importance and manifest utility.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
