At least twice that number of local poetic writers might have been quoted without below the level of but descending mediocrity ; the object of the Garland is to illustrate, not to to indicate the value of Western exhaust ; high poetic writers, not to give a complete list either of names or of examples. And 1 venture to think that the selection now offered to the public will sustain the claims of the district whence it springs to a leading place in the poetic literature of the country. Indeed, when two or three great names are excepted, it may in fairly be asserted that no county England has greater reason to be proud of its poets than Devon. The arrangement of the Garland is in the main, so far as the authors are concerned, chronological.

    Site Locator for Register of John Wesley’s Preaching Texts Introduction The list which follows on the next page provides location details for the sites mentioned in the Register of John Wesley’s Preaching Texts. Sites range from cities, to villages, to hamlets, to manor houses. They stretch across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales; with scattered visits to the Channel Islands and Isle of Man; and Wesley’s single trips to North America and Holland. The general format of the location description is: village, county/shire, nation. For smaller sites, reference indicators of proximity to larger sites are often included. Charing Cross is used as the traditional center for London in such proximity descriptions. For locations in England, Scotland and Wales, the traditional county/shire name is given, both to reflect how Wesley would have known the site and in keeping with preferred historical practice. Sites in England, Scotland and Wales were originally identified using the Bartholomew Gazetteer of Places in Britain, 2d edn. (London: John Bartholomew & Son, Ltd., 1986). This resource has recently been made available in an updated online format. All identifications have been verified in this new resource. Those who wish to know the modern “administrative county” listings for these sites (as used on Mapquest, for example, rather than the traditional county/shire names), can find this information on this online source, which provides both types of information. Gazetteer of British Place Names: http://www.gazetteer.co.uk/ The Gazetteer also references the grid location for each site on the standard Ordnance Survey Maps of Great Britain (Landranger Series, 1:50 000).
