Norfolk


The Scientific Tourist through England, Wales and Scotland by T. Walford (1818)

NORFOLK HAS the German Ocean on the N. and E. Suffolk on the S. and Cambridgeshire on the W. It is nearly 60 m. from E to W and 38 m. from N. to S. and contains 1830 square miles. The air and climate of a certain part of thiS county are salubrious and pleasant but in the marshy and fenny parts they are often unpleasantly cold and damp. The soil is not generally good, yet the skill and industry of its inhabitants have given it a high name as a farming county. The principal rivers are the Great and Little Ouse, Waveney Bure, Wensum, Yare &c. The manufactures are chiefly woven goods. The produce fat cattle, &c.
Quotations
 Chapter 4 
They were young people of fortune. The son had a good estate in Norfolk, the daughter twenty thousand pounds.
 Chapter 12 
The season and duties which brought Mr. Bertram back to Mansfield took Mr. Crawford into Norfolk.
 Chapter 20 
“From Bath, Norfolk, London, York, wherever I may be,” said he; “I will attend you from any place in England, at an hour’s notice.”
 Chapter 23 
She could not compliment the newly arrived gentleman, however, with any appearance of interest, in a scheme for extending his stay at Mansfield, and sending for his hunters from Norfolk,
 Chapter 34 
“You have a great turn for acting, I am sure, Mr. Crawford,” said her ladyship soon afterwards; “and I will tell you what, I think you will have a theatre, some time or other, at your house in Norfolk. I mean when you are settled there. I do indeed. I think you will fit up a theatre at your house in Norfolk.”
 Chapter 40 
“And now that I have begun,” she continued, “my letter will not be worth your reading, for there will be no little offering of love at the end, no three or four lines passionnees from the most devoted H. C. in the world, for Henry is in Norfolk;
 Chapter 41 
that he thought himself lucky in seeing Mary for even half an hour, having spent scarcely twenty–four hours in London, after his return from Norfolk, before he set off again;
 Chapter 41 
Norfolk was what he had mostly to talk of: there he had been some time, and everything there was rising in importance from his present schemes. Such a man could come from no place, no society, without importing something to amuse; his journeys and his acquaintance were all of use, and Susan was entertained in a way quite new to her. For Fanny, somewhat more was related than the accidental agreeableness of the parties he had been in. For her approbation, the particular reason of his going into Norfolk at all, at this unusual time of year, was given.
 Chapter 42 
I have half an idea of going into Norfolk again soon. I am not satisfied about Maddison. I am sure he still means to impose on me if possible, and get a cousin of his own into a certain mill, which I design for somebody else. I must come to an understanding with him. I must make him know that I will not be tricked on the south side of Everingham, any more than on the north: that I will be master of my own property. I was not explicit enough with him before. The mischief such a man does on an estate, both as to the credit of his employer and the welfare of the poor, is inconceivable. I have a great mind to go back into Norfolk directly, and put everything at once on such a footing as cannot be afterwards swerved from.
 Chapter 43 
Henry, I find, has some idea of going into Norfolk again upon some business that you approve;
 Chapter 43 
Whether Mr. Crawford went into Norfolk before or after the 14th was certainly no concern of hers, though, everything considered, she thought he would go without delay.
 Chapter 45 
It was weeks since she had heard anything of Miss Crawford or of her other connexions in town, except through Mansfield, and she was beginning to suppose that she might never know whether Mr. Crawford had gone into Norfolk again or not till they met,
 Chapter 48 
Curiosity and vanity were both engaged, and the temptation of immediate pleasure was too strong for a mind unused to make any sacrifice to right: he resolved to defer his Norfolk journey, resolved that writing should answer the purpose of it, or that its purpose was unimportant, and staid.
