Excerpt from Exeter
Of in the nature of beauty and romance, particularly where it flows past the wooded grounds of Powder ham Castle, the Devonshire seat Of the great Courtenay family. Truly there is much to redeem modern Exeter and make it interesting over and above its historical atmosphere. Yet with comparatively few vestiges of age the city has an historical past. In both a religious and a military sense she has played a part in the annals of England, and more than one ancient docu ment in the Library of the Dean and Chapter bears testimony to her honour, her valour, and her glory.
