This extraordinary collection of historical facts, a valuable
source for local history, was compiled by Thomas Fuller (1608-61),
who came from a clerical family and was educated at Cambridge. 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.
