Oh the church at Wakefield. IV. Those of Leeds: With a visit to Kirkstal, and Kirkham. V. An account of Keighley. VI. State of Skipton Castle, &c. VII. Knaresborough. Of the church, and its monuments; St. Robert's Chapel, &c. VIII. Towns near York: as, Tadcaster, Bilbrough, Bolton, Percy; Howlden; Selby, Wistow, Cawood church and castle; Acaster and Bishopsthorpe; Acomb, Nun Monkton and Skelton, &c. with their antiquity and inscriptions. Faithfully and painfully collected by Tho. Gent, of York. To which is subjoin'd, by the author of The Country Life, a letter to the Hon. John Aislabie, Esq;...The Happy Reign; an Eclogue. And a Latin copy of verses, with a translation, on the renowned Grotto of Queen Caroline.
