Excerpt from A Sketch of Norwich: Including Notes of a Survey of the Town
The first settlement was made soon after at Bean Hill, (now called on the Map, Westville.) Afterwards, and for a number of years, the principal business was done at what is now locally called the Town: but subsequently it was found more convenient to do business nearer the Wharves,' and that section' of'the town now holding the City Charter began to be the chief seat of mercantile Operations. But, as was the natural consequence of several rival Villages in one town, few permanent improvements were made until within a few years.

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.
