Extract

Camden takes notice that the city of Chichester “is washed on every side but the North by the little river Lavant [a]” to which Philemon Holland adds “the course of which stream is very unaccountable, being sometimes quite dry, but at other times (and that often in the midst of summer) so full as to run with some violence.”
