Scope and Content
Kendall, A. F. The picture of England and Wales. London: 1831. Devonshire. p. 587.TOTNESS,A large town, 196 miles from the metropolis, is finely situated on a hill overlooking the river Dart, which is crossed by a Bridge. Here, if you may credit Geoffry of Monmouth, Brute, the Trojan colonizer of Britain, arrived several centuries before the Christian era; its existence under the Roman government is more certain, as one of their roads had its commencement here; but not any historical event is connected with it, either in those remote ages, or in times nearer the present.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
