descriptive text

Period - 18th century, early
|
| refce: |
Defoe 1724
From Winchester, is about 25 miles, and over the most charming plains that
can any where be seen, (far in my opinion) excelling the plains of Mecca, we
come to Salisbury; the vast flocks of sheep, which one every where sees upon
these downs, and the great number of those flocks, is a sight truly worth
observation; 'tis ordinary for these flocks to contain from 3 to 5000 in a
flock; and several private farmers hereabouts have two or three such
flocks.
