Excerpt from The Beauties of England and Wales, or Original Delineations, Topographical, Historical, and Descriptive, of Each County, Vol. 13: Part I
In closing this volume, it is necessary I should state that mr. Rylance, with whose name the subscribers have already been made acquainted, extended his la bours to the end of the shropshire account only. I engaged that Gentleman to make an actual survey of this interesting county; and from the fruit of my friend's exertions, aided by the Obliging communications of se veral Gentlemen resident in shrewsbury and other places, and by availing myself of the little assistance, Which printed materials have furnished, I drew up the present account. I am as conscious, as any native of the place can be, that I have fallen far short of what is te quired, in delineating so charming a district as the county of Salop. Under this consciousness,'i have anticipated objections, and prepared my mind for the criticisms of the most fastidious. It should, however, be remember ed, that this sketch, meagre and imperfect as it is, is the only attempt that has hitherto been made to describe this county. The Account of,shrewsbury, by the Rev. Hugh owen, is the only book of the least consequence deserving notice, if, indeed, we except the excellent Agricultural Survey by the Rev. Archdeacon blym ley, (now Corbet). Phillips's History of Shrewsbury is entirely superseded by Mr. Owen's book.
