own introduction says:-

ADVERTISEMENT
|
|
THE Author of the following Letters, takes the liberty, with all
proper deference, of laying before the public his idea of
parochial history, which, he thinks, ought to consist of natural
productions and occurrences as well as antiquities. He is also of
opinion that if stationary men would pay some attention to the
districts on which they reside, and would publish their thoughts
respecting the objects that surround them, from such materials
might be drawn the most complete county-histories, which are
still wanting in several parts of this kingdom, and in particular
in the county of Southampton.
