Synopsis

The Book of the Thames: From Its Rise to Its Fall is a comprehensive account of the River Thames, written by Samuel Carter Hall and originally published in 1877. The book covers the entire length of the river, from its source in the Cotswolds to its estuary in the North Sea, and explores its history, geography, and cultural significance. Hall begins by describing the physical characteristics of the Thames, including its length, width, and depth, and the various landscapes through which it flows. He then delves into the river's history, tracing its origins back to prehistoric times and examining its role in the development of London and other towns and cities along its banks. The book also explores the cultural significance of the Thames, including its use in literature, art, and music, and its association with various historical figures and events. Hall includes numerous illustrations and photographs throughout the text, as well as maps and diagrams to help readers understand the geography and topography of the river. Overall, The Book of the Thames is a fascinating and informative exploration of one of England's most iconic waterways, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
