| Summary | "The Rivers of Great Britain, Descriptive, Historical, Pictorial: Rivers of the South and West Coasts" is a descriptive and historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the rivers of England, focusing specifically on those located on the southern and western coasts. The text likely features a blend of picturesque depictions, historical anecdotes, and detailed descriptions of the landscapes surrounding each river, captivating readers with the serene beauty and rich history of these waterways. The opening of the book presents a transcribed note that references the 1897 edition and addresses editorial corrections. It begins by emphasizing the noteworthy characteristics of southern chalk streams, particularly the Canterbury Stour and its tributaries, highlighting their importance to anglers and the unique qualities of their crystal-clear waters. The author paints a vivid picture of the tranquil beauty these rivers offer, contrasting them with the more turbulent rivers found in northern England. As the narrative unfolds, it introduces readers to various locales and historical anecdotes connected to these rivers, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the waterways that define the charm of Great Britain.
