Lincolnshire
Published in 1856, White's Directory begins: "Lincolnshire, the
largest county in England except Yorkshire, ranks with Norfolk and Devonshire in
agricultural importance, and is the 13th in amount of population. Its extensive
fens and levels were formerly watery morasses, producing little else than geese
and wild fowl, but they are now well drained and cultivated, and produce
abundant crops of grain, grass, potatoes, woad, flax, etc..."
