Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Visitation of the Seats and Arms of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Great Britain, Vol. 1
An interest of a very peculiar kind attaches to the Castles, Mansions, and Baronial Halls of England, of Which every class in its own degree, and after its own fashion, is alike sensible. With the uneducated, as a mass, this generally appears linked with the supernatural, or with deeds of violence and bloodshed; the man of imagination has the same feeling but under a higher and more fanciful aspect. To abstract the mind, says Dr. Johnson.
