LITERATUR TIE TOPOGRAPHY AND Northants History
A literary notice discusses topography as a key to national character and announces two major publications. The History of Northamptonshire by Nichols, long in progress, awaits index finalization before delivery, while Leicestershire follows under Sylvanus Urban. An ambitious plan hints at two large libraries for scholars, including the Archbishop of Senne’s vast collection and Cardinal Brienne’s library offered at seven thousand pounds. The piece laments publication delays but highlights ongoing scholarly efforts and acquisitions.
