THE COUNTY. 



YORKSHIRE has always been fpoken 

 of as the firft Province of thefe king- 

 doms. If we confider its fuperior magni- 

 tude ; the variety and flrength of its natural 

 features ; the fertility of its foils ; and the 

 induftry of its inhabitants ; the abundance 

 and copioufnefs of its rivers ; the richnefs 

 of the views on their banks; and the wild- 

 nefs of thofe which are found among its 

 mountains j — it is well entitled to pre-emi- 

 nence.
