Sinossi
Excerpt from The North Riding of Yorkshire
Yorkshire is of so great extent that it is not surprising to find that it has from very early times been treated as three separate counties. Each Riding has its own Lord - Lieutenant and its Own county Offices; and, though the City Of York is, for some purposes, the capital of the whole, each has its own county town. That for the North Riding is Northallerton.
The English kingdoms that were founded in our island after the departure Of the Romans could not, in those days Of difficult travelling, be properly governed from one point. They were therefore divided into shares or sbires, roughly according to the number Of men able to fight; and the men Of these Shires were themselves answerable for most duties of government. Yorkshire was a portion skarn Off (the derivation Of the word is the same as that Of shire) by the wedge Of Bishop's land, the county of Durham, from the great kingdom of Northumbria.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the unique composition of the North Riding of Yorkshire. By examining geology, natural history, and industry, the author presents an unusually broad picture of what makes this region of England so special. The book sets the scene, describing the landscape of moorland, farmland, and dramatic cliffs and then goes on to examine the geology of the area, showing how it came to be this way, followed by a look at the plants and animals that are found here, particularly in the dales and along the coastline. Finally, the author examines the evolution of industry in the region, with a focus on iron. The resulting image is a comprehensive and multidimensional portrait of a remarkable and fascinating region. The author's deep knowledge of the area informs every page and provides the reader with a valuable vantage point to appreciate the grandeur of the untamed parts of North Yorkshire.
