|of the adjacent country. It was built by Lady James, to
     |commemorate the reduction of Severndroog, in 1756, a strong fort,
     |which belonged to Angria the pirate, on an island near Bombay.
     |This structure is of a triangular form, with turrets at each
     |angle. From the top of this tower a most delightful view of the
     |surrounding country is obtained, including the metropolis, the
     |shipping on the river Thames, and the long range of the Surrey
     |hills, the top of the building being 482 feet above the level of
     |the sea.

  100|=Shaftesbury=, Dorset, 138. A borough and market town, consisting
     |of three parishes, containing 589 houses, and 2635 inhabitants. It
     |is situated on a hill, supposed by Camden to have been founded by
     |Alfred, and is recorded to have been a populous city, containing
     |twelve churches, before the Conquest, only three of which now
     |remain, none of them retaining any thing worthy of note. The
     |houses are tolerably well built; and many of them of free-stone.
     |In the corn market is a neat town hall, in which the Quarter
     |Sessions are held. Water here is extremely scarce.
     |
     |This borough has returned two members to parliament since the
     |reign of Henry the Third, except during the reigns of Henry the
     |Seventh, Eighth, and Edward the Sixth. The chief manufacture of
     |the town is that of shirt buttons, which are mostly made by women
     |and children. The market is on Saturday, and is well supplied with
     |all kinds of provision.

     |the 11th century, the see being removed to Salisbury, the
     |cathedral was converted into an abbey. It was originally a noble
     |structure, but, in the reign of Henry the Seventh, a quarrel
     |happening between the monks and inhabitants, the latter set fire
     |to the building, and great part of it was burned down. At the
     |dissolution of monasteries it was made parochial, and is now the
