About This Book
The work offers a thorough history of the city, combining an architectural survey of public buildings with civil and municipal records and biographical notices of notable citizens. It presents complete lists of mayors, sheriffs, election returns and parliamentary representation, outlines ecclesiastical developments with memoirs of bishops and deans and the rise and progress of Nonconformity, and analyzes commercial life, manufactures, and wholesale trade, drawing on prize essays from a local industrial exhibition and on earlier antiquarian manuscripts to reconstruct urban growth, institutions, and economic foundations.
