Although it focuses mainly on the North Riding of Yorkshire, the observations made in the text are presented as broadly reflective of circumstances in other areas of the country. A bibliography and map of the North Riding region are also included, together with extensive notes. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the development of local government, British history and early modern history.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 1.
