"First published in 1953, at the time this book was the most comprehensive history and description of an English county ever attempted in a single volume. Its first part describes the county's natural situation and its earliest history and surveys its economic life, not least its almost vanished agriculture and its modern industrial development. There are chapters on particular aspects of Middlesex's history, inhabitants and buildings." "The second part - virtually a book in itself - is a lively gazetteer of the places in contemporary Middlesex, from Action to Yiewsley. The whole work is fully indexed and referenced, and includes tables of population and a detailed bibliography (both updated for this edition), line maps, diagrams and 48 pages of superb photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
