   80|Silbury Hill, Wilts, 183, 198. The remains of a stupendous Roman
     |barrow, it rises 170 feet in perpendicular height, and its form is
     |the frustrum of a cone, its diameter at the top being 105 feet,
     |and at the bottom 500. In digging through the centre of this hill,
     |in 1777, nothing was found but a rotten post, and a rusty knife.
     |
   48|Silver Hill, Sussex, 21. A strong military post, commanding a most

     |
     |Silvers Lake Bridge, Hants, 213.

   54|Singleton Wood, Sussex, 35.
     |
   14|Sipson Green, Middlesex, 174.
     |
   40|Sittingbourn, Kent, 6. This village, (which was formerly a market
     |town) consists of one long street, containing 200 houses, and 1347
     |inhabitants. The church is a large and handsome building, in which
     |are many ancient monuments.
     |
   41|Skewers, Hants, 74.
     |
     |Slindon Common, Sussex, 216.

   97|Sopley, Hants, 94. A parish containing 165 houses, and 840
     |inhabitants.
     |
  197|Sourton Down, Devon, 150.
     |
   75|=Southampton=, Hants, 79, 91, 221. A borough town, consisting of
     |seven parishes, (including Stoneham,) situated at the union of the
     |rivers Test and Itchen, which form Southampton Bay. It contains
     |1669 houses, and 9617 inhabitants; many of the streets are
     |handsome and well built. The High-street, terminating at the Quay,
     |much resembles, in width and beauty, the High-street of Oxford,
     |and has a charming view of the river and the New Forest, and the
     |shops may vie with any in the metropolis. The town, (except the
     |eastern part) is well paved and lighted, and supplied with
     |excellent water.
     |
     |The approach to the town from the London road is exceedingly
     |striking, from the beautiful view of Southampton Bay, the Isle of
     |Wight, and the scenery of the New Forest, elegant seats and rows
     |of trees line the road on both sides; and on entering the town by
     |one of its more fashionable streets, the view is farther
     |heightened by that venerable remain of antiquity, the Bargate. The
     |north front is a semi-octagon, flanked with two semicircular
