Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the County Palatine of Durham, Vol. 2 Approaching the city from the north, it has the most roman tic and uncommon appearance: It seems to be scattered over a multitude of irregular hills, (for the ground by which it is ap proached is thrown up into round mounts), and we discover various parts of the town, the castle, and churches, through se veral vallies in one point of view, so that they appear like so many distinct places. The west front of the castle is seen on the summit of a ragged and steep rock, with some parts of the ca thedral and the street of St Giles, as if totally unconnected with the rest of the town, is spread over the brow of a distant emi nence. The hollow passes amongst the hills on the north-west of the city, afford beautiful and picturesque prospects. At Cas tle-chair, where the view is much confined, the castle and cathe dral have a noble appearance; the octagon tower of the former, with the mound on which it is placed, have a grand effect. On the eminence Opposite to shaw-vvood, the view just mentioned is enlarged; yet, the distant branches of the town being inter cepted by rising grounds, leave the principal objects in the most distinct and picturesque arrangement. Approaching from the east down the street of St Giles, we command the second noblest view of the city: In front, the river Were forms a fine canal through a rich vale, crossed by Elvet bridge, of seven wet arches, and many other land arches; the town crowds the swift risings of the hill, pile upon pile; the castle and cathedral church crowning the summit of the eminence. To the left are seen the banks of Elvet and the church, anked by a distant forest of oaks, and the groves which hang on the margin of the river: On the right is a view of newton-hall, and the adjacent grounds. - To this general description, more minute particulars will be added as we pass through the city.

Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the County Palatine of Durham, Vol. 3 From an unfortunate misapprehension of the tenor of Mr Raine's letter to me of the 4th of October, 1793, in the advertisement I published, informing my subscribers, that by the decision the property of the work, and the impression which remained undisposed of, were become solely mine, I was led to assert that the unreceived subscription monies were mine for which error I have to beg pardon of the public, it being the arbitrator's intention, that all books delivered by Mr Hodgson previous to the 18th day of October, 1793, should be paid for to him, and that money to be his property. I should not have troubled my subscribers and the public with so prolix a statement of facts, but to remove any injurious prejudices, with which their minds might be impressed by re ports; and I flatter myself they will be convinced, that I was really more than the reputed author of the work; and that the delay in the publication did not proceed from me, or had my countenance or assent. Every endeavour that I could possibly exert was used to prevent the unfortunate suits in which I was engaged; and thence proceeded the voluntary undertaking I made, for pay ment of such expenses as should attend the printing of that part of the work which might overrun the two volumes.
