Published: Birmingham, . May 21st 1830
Description: This county, the most central, is one of the most interesting in the kingdom, not only on account of the illustrious characters who have dignified it by their situation, great and memorable actions, but by its beauty of situation, extent, the commercial speculations carried on in it, and its manufactures, which add so largely to its stock of national wealth and importance. We should be wanting in justice not to mention, that England's great poetical ornament, Shakespeare, was born in this county, whose master genius developed with equal felicity the beauties of nature and the images of art; of whom more will be said when treating of the
town which gave birth to. this great man. Confined to delineation, it is hoped that in every circumstance the delineations will, at any rate, he found to possess fidelity. This county is of an irregular figure, terminating in a point at the north and south, is bordered upon almost equally, by SIX counties, viz. Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire, on the western side, from north to south; and Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Oxfordshire, on the eastern side, in the same order.
