Excerpt from A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland, Comprising the Several Counties, Islands, Cities, Burgh and Market Towns, Parishes, and Principal Villages, With Historical and Statistical Descriptions, Vol. 2 of 2: And Embellished With Engravings of the Seals and Arms of the Different Burghs and Universities; From Keanlochbervie to Zetland Kellas, a hamlet, in the parish of murroes, county of forfar; containing 25 inhabitants. Kells, a parish, in the stewartry of kirkcud bright, 14 miles (n. W. By N.) from castle-douglas, and 19 (n. By W.) from Kirkcudbright containing, with the burgh of New Galloway, 1121 inhabitants. This place is supposed by some to derive its name from its elevated situation, of which, in the Gaelic language, the word is descriptive. Others deduce the name from the British Cell, on account of the extensive woods for merly existing here, and of which considerable remains are still found embedded in the various mosses. The parish is one of the largest in the county. It is bounded on the west and south by the river Dee, which separates it from the parishes of Minniga ', Girthon, and Balma ghie; and on the east by the river Ken, which divides it from Dalry, Balmaclellan, and Parton parishes. Kells is about sixteen miles in length and eight miles in ex treme breadth, comprising an area of acres, of which by far the greater part is mountain pasture, and, with the exception of about 400 acres of woodland and plantations, the remainder is arable and in good cultiva tion. Its surface is irregularly broken, rising towards the north into a range of lofty mountains, including the most conspicuous heights of Galloway, some of which have an elevation of 2700 feet above the sea. The ara ble lands, which are chie y along the banks of the Ken, are tolerably level, and interspersed with copses of oak and birch. The lower grounds are watered by nume rous rivulets, intersecting the parish in various direc tions, and forming tributaries to the Dee and to the Ken. The Ken has its source on the confines of Dumfries shire, and after entering the parish on the north - east, receives the waters of the Deuch, and at the southern extremity unites with the Dee. There are also many lakes, of which those of Loch Dungeon and Loch Har row, ia the north, are of considerable extent, but both inferior to Loch Ken, on the eastern border of the parish, which is about five miles in length and three quarters of a mile in breadth, and by far the most emi nent for the beauty of its scenery. A remarkably large pike, probably the largest known to have been killed in Scotland, was caught in this loch with the rod and y many years ago; it weighed seventy-two pounds, and the head is still preserved in Kenmure Castle, bearing witness to its enormous size. The parish affords an in teresting field for the investigations of the botanist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Every fact of importance that illustrates the local history of Scotland is in this book. Arranged alphabetically by place (village, parish, town, etc.), it has an accurate description of all Scottish localities as they were at the time of publication (1851), showing where a village was located in relation to its parish, or the nearest town or towns, where a parish was located in relation to its nearest district, and the names of villages in it, the number of inhabitants of an area, the main landowners, and chief topographical features. This work enables you to identify a given locality in relation to a parish and thus the identification of the parish records. So, if you know the place of origin of your ancestor--the village or town--this gazetteer will show you, in effect, which parish records to search for births, marriages, and deaths. Modern gazetteers are useless for this purpose. The civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths began in 1855, at which time all the old parish registers were called in. The LDS Church has copied the parish registers of every parish in Scotland, from the earliest up to 1855, and has indexed virtually all of them--all the more reason to know your ancestor's parish.

This present offering is a reprint of the original 1831 edition, one of only two editions of the Lewis Dictionary that will lead the genealogist back to the English parishes and chapelries that are of importance in seeking probate records. In alphabetical order, every county, city, borough, market town, post town, parish, chapelry, township, hamlet, tything, and hundred in England is accurately recorded and described. With respect to counties, information furnished includes the following: situation, extent, and population of the county; statistics and history of all civil and ecclesiastical jurisdictions; and accounts of the courts of assize and quarter sessions. With respect to cities, boroughs and market towns, information given includes: situation and bearing from nearest county town; population and local institutions; and markets, municipal government, courts, and religious establishments. Concerning parishes, data provided covers the townships and chapelries which the parishes comprise, their archdeaconries and dioceses, and, if of exempt ecclesiastical jurisdiction, the peculiar court to which the parish belongs. In townships, chapelries, hamlets, and tythings forming civil divisions of parishes, the same arrangement of data is given, but with respect to villages and hamlets which are not recognized divisions, they are described under their respective parishes. Key to the work (for the genealogist) is the fact that even the most obscure place in England is identified in relation to a parish and in most cases to a specific church. But over and above its obvious genealogical value, the Dictionary is a fascinating and illuminating work in itself, and it brings to life the ancestral homes and villages which until now have existed in name only, or as part of family lore and tradition.
