12. A brief historical and descriptive account of Maidstone and its environs - "S.C.L."

Published in 1834.
I love the language; old spelling; the different view of history; the assumptions of the author about what his readers would find interesting and what general knowledge they would have.

That the given facts differ to other accounts only adds to its charm.
