Four rivers meet near the city, and the waters of
     |three of them run through the streets in canals lined with brick.
     |There are no vaults in any of the churches, nor any cellars in the
     |town, the soil being so moist that the water rises up in the
     |graves dug in the cathedral.
     |
     |Salisbury sends two members to parliament. There is a concert
     |every other Thursday during the winter, and once a month during
     |the summer, well supported, and at which all strangers are
     |admitted gratis: there is also an assembly every other Thursday
     |during the winter, and a neat little theatre.
     |
     |Here are three charity schools, in which 170 children are taught
     |and clothed.
     |
     |The races are commonly held in the month of August, and continue
     |three days, being generally well attended. The markets are on
     |Tuesday and Saturday.

  112|Saltford, Somerset, 202. A parish containing 54 houses, and 223
     |inhabitants.
     |
   21|Salt Hill, Bucks, 175. This hamlet is remarkable for its fine
     |situation, and for being the spot to which the scholars of Eton
     |make their procession triennially, called the _Montem_, when a
     |public collection is made from the company for the benefit of the
     |captain of the school, who is generally elected a member of King’s
     |College, Cambridge. This collection often amounts to £1000.

     |Sarisbury Green, Hants, 221.
     |
   64|Sarre, Kent, 12. This village was once a place of some repute, and
     |had anciently a haven, where there is now only a small brook.
     |
   71|Savernake Forest, Wilts, 182. This forest is twelve miles in
     |circumference, plentifully stocked with deer, and rendered very
     |pleasant by the many delightful walks and vistas cut through the
     |coppices and woods with which it abounds.
     |
     |Scratchbury Camp, Wilts, 206. This fine encampment comprehends an
     |area of forty acres, enclosed with a single ditch and rampart,
     |1846 yards in circuit, having three entrances; and is supposed to
     |be of British origin, from the remains of antiquity found within
     |its precinct.

   23|=Sevenoaks=, Kent, 18. A market town and parish, containing 358
     |houses, and 1922 inhabitants. It is supposed to have derived its
     |name from seven remarkable oaks which stood near it when first
     |built. The town is well built, and has a good free grammar school.
     |The market is on Saturday.
