Tht3 beautiful county is the third largest of the English shire*, being exceeded only by those of Lincoln and York. It is bounded on the N. and N.YV. by the Irish Channel, on the W. by the rivers Tamar and Marsland-waters, on the S. and S.E. it ha3 the British Channel, and on the E. and N.E. it is conterminous with the counties of Dorset and Somerset. Extent from 1ST. to S., 71 miles, from E. to W., 72. Circumference, 287. Area, 2586 square miles—being equal to 1,655,180 acres of land, of which about 1,200,000 are in cultivation. It contains 33 hundreds, 465 parishes, and 36 market towns. Population, 1871, 601,374. It is in the see of Exeter, and is included in the western circuit. The assizes are held at Exeter. Fortunately for the lovers of picturesque scenery its extensive surface presents those contrasts of ruggedness and soft rich beauty which charm and attract the eye. The mountains in the vicinity of Dartmoor rise to 1500 and 1800 feet above the level of the sea. On the south and south-east are extensive wastes, covered with rough masses of detached granite and immense rocks. To the north and north-west are large tracts of swampy ground, and many peat bogs of great depth ; while the Yale of Exeter, with an area of about 200 square miles, consists of some very fine land. The district to the south of Dartmoor, called the South Hams, is regarded as the garden of Devonshire, and is ; 96 DEVONSHIRE. strikingly diversified by bold swells and luxuriant vales, and in many parts towards the north by picturesque and romantic scenery. West Devon is remarkably uniform. North Devon, 01 the country round Bideford, Barnstaple, and South Molton, contains much productive Land, and is greatly diversified with beautiful scenery. The climate of Devon varies according to the height of the district, still, from its situation between two seas, its immediate ex- posure to the south-west winds as they blow from the ocean, and the elevated summits of the surrounding mountains, it is upon the whole' much milder than that of the other English counties. The winters are exceedingly mild, and proverbially favourable to the cure of pulmonary complaints. The air is generally dry and warm, and the harvest earlier than in any other parts of the* west. On the southern coast the myrtle flourishes in the open air. The principal rivers of Devonshire are the Taw, the Torridge, the Tamar, the Dart, the Teign, and the Exe ; and the lesser are the Tavy, the Plyin, the Yealm, the Anne, the Avon, the Otter the Sid, the Axe, and the Lyn. The ancient castles, now in ruins, are Berry-Pomeroy, built by Balph de la Porneroy, who came to England with the Conqueror ; Compton Castle ; Eougemont Castle, formerly the T seat of the T\ est Saxon kings, in the vicinity of Exeter, and, according to tradition, built by Julius Caesar ; the castle of Oke- hampton, which stood about a mile south-west of the town • Plympton Castle, which was the residence of Richard de Rivers, Earl of Devon, in the reign of Henry L The same person was also in possession of Tiverton Castle, the ruins of which may still be seen, and of Totnes Castle, erected by Judhael de Totnais, to whom the manor was given by the Conqueror. The remains of the abbeys and monasteries of Devonshire are those of Buckfastleigh, near Ashburton ; Buckland Abbey, on the eastern banks of the river Tavy ; Dunkeswell, near Cullomp- ton ; the Cistercian Abbey at Axminster, the property of Lord Petre ; Hartland Abbey, part of the present house of Paul Orchard, Esq.

It should be noted however, that the connection with the GRENVILLE family has at present only been suggested in terms of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Bridge Street. I am indebted to Andy Powell for locating many of the reference sources referred to below, and in providing valuable historical assistance to progress this research to its conclusions. In the main Statement of Significance Report, the history of the buildings was researched as far as possible in an attempt to assess their Heritage Value, with a view to the owners making a decision on the future of these historic Bideford properties.

The Junto was a discussion group of young men seeking social, economic, intellectual, and political advancement. When they foundered on a point of fact, they needed a printed authority to set- tle the divergence of opinion. In colonial Pennsylvania at the time there were not many books. Standard English reference works were expensive and difficult to obtain. Franklin and his friends were mostly mechanics of moderate means. None alone could have afforded a representative li- brary, nor, indeed, many imported books. By pooling their resources in pragmatic Franklinian fashion, they could. The contribution of each cre- ated the book capital of all. Fifty subscribers invested forty shillings each and promised to pay ten shillings a year thereafter to buy books and maintain a shareholder’s library.
