Historical and descriptive sketches of the town and soke of Horncastle

The author in this book examines Britain's economic, agricultural, and political life prior to the Roman invasion. This historical and culturally relevant book explains how the populace cemented their subjection to the yoke by succumbing to the allures of Roman etiquette. Their savagery was tamed: from a wild barbarian tribe roaming the forests, they became civilized, learning and settling in towns; and, finally, they sweetened their slavery by delighting in the pleasures of refined life.
