Excerpt from The Town of Reading During the Early Part of the Nineteenth Century

Reading in the early part of the nineteenth century. It has not proved convenient to limit its scope by exact dates, but the period under review may be said to extend from 1801 to 1832, the date of the Reform Act, and 1835, the date of the Municipal Corporations Act; and the aim has been to dissect and examine the organization and life of a typical country town when approaching and undergoing the great transformation, of which these measures were only the more obvious symptoms. In pursuit of this aim little attention has been paid to matters of purely personal interest; while, on the other hand, details suggestive of social change and development have been given with fullness, and in several sections of the work have been carried down to a date approaching the middle of the century.
