Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belford Regis, Vol. 1 of 3: Or Sketches of a Country Town IN an Article on the last Volume of Our Village, the courteous critic recommended, since I had taken leave of rural life, that I should engage lodgings in the next country town, and commence a series of sketches of the inhabitants; a class of the community which, Whilst it forms so large a portion of our population, occupies so small a space in our literature, and amongst whom, more perhaps than amongst any other order of English society, may be traced the peculiarities, the prejudices, and the excellences of the national character.
