SUFFOLK

"Suffolk, an English COUNTY 47 miles in length and 30 miles in breadth, bounded on the West by Cambridgeshire, on the North by Norfolk, on the South by Essex and on the East by the German Ocean. It contains 575 parishes, 28 market towns and sends 16 members to Parliament. The air is generally wholesome, but the soil is various, on the sea coast it is sandy and there are several small hills which yield hemp, pease and rye. The inland parts are clayey and more full of trees. The borders towards Essex are fit for pastures and the NW produces corn of all sorts. There are manufactures of several kinds, particularly all sorts of broad-cloth, stuffs and coarse linen. The principal rivers are Little Ouse, the Waveney, the Stour, The Breton, the Orwell or Gippe, the Ore and the Blyth. Ipswich and St.Edmundsberry are the principal towns".

From "The Complete and Universal Dictionary" by Rev James Barclay - 1812
