Synopsis

""A Short Treatise Of The Isle Of Man: Digested Into Six Chapters"" is a book written by James Chaloner in 1863. The book is a comprehensive guide to the Isle of Man, a self-governing British Crown dependency located in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland. The book is divided into six chapters, each covering a different aspect of the island's history, geography, culture, and economy. In the first chapter, Chaloner provides an overview of the island's history, including its early settlement by the Celts, Vikings, and Normans, and its role as a strategic location during the medieval period. The second chapter focuses on the island's geography, including its coastline, mountains, rivers, and forests. The third chapter covers the island's economy, including its agriculture, fishing, and manufacturing industries. The fourth chapter explores the island's culture, including its language, music, and customs. The fifth chapter discusses the island's political system, including its unique status as a self-governing Crown dependency. Finally, the sixth chapter provides practical information for visitors to the island, including transportation, accommodations, and popular tourist attractions. Throughout the book, Chaloner provides detailed descriptions and historical context for each topic, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the Isle of Man.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

Short Treatise of the I sle of Man digested into six chapters, written by James Chaloner, was originally printed in folio, by John Streater, in Little Bartholomew s, London, as an Appendix (with a separate title page) to ThV ale Royal of England; or the County Palatine of Chester illustrated: performed by William Smith and William Webb, Gentlemen, and published by Daniel King, in 1656. The work is very scarce, and when perfect, fetches a high price. Begarded as a separate treatise, it is the oldest history of the I sle of Man. Camden, in his Britannia in 1586, had previously given an outline of Manx history, compiled from the Chronicon Manmoe et I nsularum (published in the fourth volume of the Manx Society), and from papers by John Merrick, who was Bishop of Man from 1577 to 1600. Li the Polychronicon of Ralph Higden, 1482, there is a brief notice of the I sland, in Lib. 1, cap. xv.
