Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Chronicles of the Devizes: Being a History of the Castle, Parks and Borough of That Name; With Notices Statistical, Parliamentary, Ecclesiastic, and Biographical

The object and character of a work bearing the title of the present must be so obvious to all, that preface seems hardly necessary except for the purpose of saying a few words on the sources of information. And paying that just tribute of respect which is due to the gentlemen who have assisted me in the undertaking.
