The Marlborough Country. Notes, Geographical 

 and Historical, on Sheet 266 of the one-inch 

 Ordnance Survey Map. [By H. C. B(rentnall) and 



CC.C(arter) 1910]. 



Limp cloth 7^in. X 5in., pp., including title, 77. Printed at the Times 

 Office, Marlborough. 



This little book, written by the authors expressly for the use of 

 classes at Marlborough College, differs entirely from anything written 

 on the County of Wilts before. Its title accurately defines its scope. 

 It consists of ten chapters, on " Reading of Relief in General ; Relief 

 and Streams of the Marlborough Country ; Climate and Water Supply 

 of the Marlborough Country ; Regions of the Marlborough Country ; 

 Antiquities and Ancient Communications ; Modern Communications ; 

 Using a Map in the field ; History ; Statistics of Wiltshire ; and 

 Selected Bibliography." For its purpose it is excellent, and the 

 Geological and Physiographical Sections contain much scientific 

 information as to the history of and reasons for the present conformation 

 of the land, not readily to be found elsewhere. Antiquities are dealt 

 with in a more superficial way, as was to be expected, but taken as a 

 whole, more is to be learnt from its 77 pages than from many books on 

 Wiltshire of many times its size. Indeed anyone who wants to know 

 something of the why and the wherefore of the physical features, as well 

 as of the incidence of population, in this district of North Wilts can- 

 not do better than possess themselves of it.
