A Hundred Years Ago, Norwich Was A Remarkable Centre Of Religious,
Social And Intellectual Life. The Presence Of Officers, Quartered With
Their Troops In The City, And The Balls And Festivities Which Attended
The Occasional Sojourn Of Prince William Frederick, Duke Of Gloucester,
Combined To Make The Quaint Old City Very Gay; While The Pronounced
Element Of Quakerism And The Refining Influences Of Literary Society
Permeated The Generation Of That Day, And Its Ordinary Life, To An
Extent Not Easily Conceived In These Days Of Busy Locomotion And
New-World Travel.
