Excerpt from Middlesex
Middlesex is the metropolitan county of England, and only Rutland _and London are smaller in point of area. For more than one thousand years it contained London, or the greater part of London, and this fact contributed to its wealth and importance. Although the whole of London north of the Thames was taken from Middlesex in 1888, the county is at the present time one of the most populous of English counties; and we shall certainly understand much better the progress and development of England as a whole, if we first carefully study the geography and history of this small, but very important, portion of our land.
