IN entering on our general description of the town, its public buildings
naturally claim the first share of attention. They will be found classed
under the heads of Public, Religious, and Charitable erections, and
noticed under that order: and whether we consider them in the
accommodation which they present for the transaction of the business
respectively carried on in them, for the antiquity of some, or for the
elegance of their erection, they will no doubt prove sources of
recreation to, and well worthy the inspection of, the stranger.
