Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine Library, Vol. 18: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868; English Topography, Part Vi. (Kent-Lancashire) His volume contains only two counties - Kent and Lancashire. Kent being so much more accessible and so much better known to the writers of the last and early part of the present century, received a greater share of attention in the pages of the Gentleman's Magazine than was given to most counties, and probably the relative importance of the two counties of Kent and Lancashire at the period represented by this volume is not unfairly represented by the space they occupy in the following pages. Of all the English counties, Kent occupies by far the most prominent historical position, using the word historical in its strict meaning, in contrast to the prehistoric. It was the garden ground of the Romans it was the landing-place and first occupation ground of the English; it is almost the garden ground of modern Britain.
