Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine Library, Vol. 15: Being a Classified Collection of the Chief Contents of the Gentleman's Magazine From 1731 to 1868; English Topography, Part IV (Durham-Gloucestershire) The description of Southend in 1812 as a summer resort is a note of the change produced by railways, and the descriptions of several interesting towns in this county are full of local details which are probably not to be found elsewhere recorded in print. Gloucestershire has also received a fair amount of attention from the contributors to the old Gentleman's Magazine, and the papers on the mediaeval houses of the county are valuable, especially when accompanied, as in the original, by illustrations.
