He was ordained, had gained a reputation as a preacher, and had published several theological works, when at the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted as a chaplain in the royalist army. Travelling round the country with Sir Ralph Hopton's troops, he pursued the historical enquiries which would result in the posthumous publication in 1662 of his most famous work. This two-volume edition was annotated by John Nichols, the bookseller and publisher, and published in 1811. The first part of the work consists of twenty-five short chapters which explain the organisation of the work, after which England and Wales are examined county by county: first, natural resources and manufactures, and then notable people, starting with princes and saints.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eLincolne-shire\u003cbr\u003e Middlesex\u003cbr\u003e London\u003cbr\u003eWestminster\u003cbr\u003e Monmouth-shire\u003cbr\u003e Norfolk\u003cbr\u003e Norwich\u003cbr\u003e Northampton-shire\u003cbr\u003e Northumberland\u003cbr\u003e Nottingham-shire\u003cbr\u003e Oxford-shire\u003cbr\u003e Rutland-shire\u003cbr\u003e Shrop-shire\u003cbr\u003e Somerset-shire\u003cbr\u003e Bristol\u003cbr\u003e Stafford-shire\u003cbr\u003e Suffolk\u003cbr\u003e Surrey\u003cbr\u003e Sussex\u003cbr\u003e Warwick-shire\u003cbr\u003e Westmerland\u003cbr\u003e Wilt-shire\u003cbr\u003e Worcester-shire\u003cbr\u003e York-shire\u003cbr\u003e York\u003cbr\u003e The Principality of Wales\u003cbr\u003e Anglesey\u003cbr\u003e Brecknock-shire\u003cbr\u003e Cardigan-shire\u003cbr\u003e Carmarthen-shire\u003cbr\u003e Carnarvon\u003cbr\u003e Denbigh-shire\u003cbr\u003e Flint-shire\u003cbr\u003e Glamorgan-shire\u003cbr\u003e Merionith-shire\u003cbr\u003e Montgomery-shire\u003cbr\u003e Pembroke-shire\u003cbr\u003e Radnor-shire\u003cbr\u003e Index to the natural commodities and manufactures\u003cbr\u003e Index to the worthies in the second volume.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266208485656,"sku":"9781108080521","price":50.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108080521i_1565384c-f0b8-4af7-8253-46493e53b1d9.jpg?v=1696751770","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-history-of-the-worthies-of-england-volume-2-paperback-9781108080521","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
