Summary "Hertfordshire" by Richard Lydekker is a geographical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the county's physical characteristics, history, and natural features, providing an informative look at the region's development and significance over time. With detailed analysis and illustrations, this publication aims to give readers a comprehensive understanding of Hertfordshire's landscape, geology, agriculture, and its historical context. The opening of the book sets a foundational tone, emphasizing the importance of understanding geography through the lens of local history. Lydekker begins by delving into the etymology of Hertfordshire's name and its designation as both a county and a shire, discussing its origins from ancient Anglo-Saxon times. He explains how historical governance and land divisions have shaped the current understanding of the region. Furthermore, the early chapters hint at a rich exploration of Hertfordshire's landscape, agricultural practices, and demographics, establishing a framework for the subsequent detailed discussions that follow in the book.
