The Historic Thames (1907)

The Historic Thames is a book written by Hilaire Belloc in 1907. It is a comprehensive guide to the River Thames, which flows through southern England and has played a significant role in the country's history. The book covers the river's geography, geology, and natural history, as well as its cultural and historical significance. Belloc describes the river's many landmarks, including castles, churches, and other historic buildings, and provides detailed accounts of the events that have taken place along its banks, such as battles, coronations, and royal processions. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs and maps, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and geography of the River Thames.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
