FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD, AND A CHRONICLE OF COUNTY 

 AFFAIRS DURING THE LAST CENTURY AND A HALF. 



The late Mr. Britton, not long ago remarked in a letter to a friend, that a good History of 

 Devizes might and ought to constitute the nucleus of a body of facts highly interesting to 

 the entire county. Such an object, the publisher hopes very shortly to realize. But 

 besides this, the work will contain much exclusively local matter which has never yet been 

 published, relating especially to the period of the Civil Wars, and will moreover be illustrated 

 by a variety of woodcuts and steel engravings. In one word, it is intended that the new 

 History of Devizes shall supply that long felt desideratum, a popular and portable history 

 of Modern Wilts.
