A LIST OF THE PRINCIPAL WORKS That have been Published In illustration of the Topography and Antiquities of THE COUNTY OF HANTS. There was no detached general history of this couuty (except "Visitations; by T. Benolt, Clarencieux, 1530 or 1561, by Cook 1576, by Philpot 1622, and by H. St. George 16—.” Gough.) until the publication of "Collections for the History of Hampshire, &c." in six volumes quarto, by D. Y." and with respect to these it is observed in the first volume of the Hampshire Repository, that the work was merely a compilation from other prior works, put together by a person totally unacquainted with the county; a proper tribute, however, is paid to the new matter obtained from Mr. Warner, which is considered as the most valuable of the contents, although not so ample in quantity as to justify the use made of this gentleman's name in the title page, and still less so at the back which is very incorrectly entitled “Warner's Hampshire." We understand, however, that Mr. Warner did make very copious collections for a complete history of this county, which he put into the hands of a very respectable gentleman of the county. In the several editions of Camden's Britannia, under the head Hampshire, are general descriptions of the county. In the "Magna Britannia," under the same title. The Doomsday of Hampshire has been extracted and translated by the Rev. Mr. Warner. Among the local histories of particular places in this county, are the following: The "History of the Isle of Wight," by Sir Richard Worsley, Bart. in one volume 4to. The " History of Selborne," by the Rev. Gilbert White, one volume 4to. "Fossilia |
