Description
1797 Polwhele DEVONSHIRE Devon England Exeter Archbishops South Wales HUGE FOLIO



Richard Polwhele was an 18th-century English historian from Devon. He wrote numerous poems, epigrams, and elegies in verse, works on English orations, and sermons, and theological essays. However, his most impressive work was his “History of Devonshire”, an enormous history of the history of Devon and towns therein, its archbishops, and the Diocese and Archdeaconry of Exeter.



The impressive, full-page engravings were drawn by Thomas Bonnor. Illustrations include views of Hartland Abbey, Kitley, Monument of Glanville in Tavistock Church, and Colcombe Castle.
