A CONCISE
_HISTORY OF NORWICH_.

In attempting a brief History of Norwich, it shall be endeavoured, so far
as the limits of the design will admit, to consider its situation and
extent, foundation and present state, former and present population,
memorable events, antiquities, eminent or learned inhabitants, trade,
manufactures, &c.

Norwich is situate in 1. 25. E. of London, and in 52. 40. N. latitude; it
lies considerably eastward of the centre of the county of Norfolk, of
which it is the capital, and indeed it may be considered as the principal
city in the eastern district of the kingdom. It occupies the top and
sides of a gentle hill, which runs parallel with the river Wensum on its
western side; the river suddenly takes an almost western course, and runs
through nearly the centre of the city. It is distinguished in the annals
of Great Britain for its manufactures, the memorable events that have
occurred, its antiquities, and for various other objects which shall be
briefly touched upon.

Norwich, in its present state, is said to occupy more ground,
comparatively with its population, than any city in the kingdom, being
much interspersed with gardens, and it is frequently stiled, a city in an
orchard; its shape is irregular,
