About this book
The book carries "PRESS NOTICES OF THE FIRST EDITION," one of which says "We cordially recommend Mr. Ritchie’s book to all who wish to pass an agreeable hour." A second notice says "Local gossip, a wide range of reading and industrious research, have enabled the author to enliven his pages." The text says "It was to the Brewsters that the village was indebted for the ministry of the Rev. John Phillip, who married the sister of the pious and learned Dr. Ames."
The text names a work of Dr. Ames that "got him into trouble," "A Fresh Suit against Ceremonies." The text says "Yarmouth is intimately connected with literature and the fine arts" and "It was off Yarmouth that Robinson Crusoe was shipwrecked." A waiter at a Norfolk hotel is quoted as saying "They say we are Norfolk fules" and "I ain’t ashamed of my county, for all that."
