Förlagets beskrivning
This locally written "History of Portsmouth" gives a detailed picture of the town as it was in 1801, as well as its local history. The author is happy to give criticism as well as praise. Although the High Street "impresses the visitors with the ......opulence of the place", the author describes Worblinton Street as giving travellers a worse opinion of Portsmouth than it deserves. Details of local produce, public buildings, public houses, the dockyard and the local dignitaries are given. The times of stagecoaches and waggons to the outlying areas are also given. The author also casts his net to the outlying areas and includes Havant, Hayling Island, Alverstoke, giving an insight into this thriving community
