Notes
The life of Edward Hasted, 1732-1812, whose popularity as an historian is undiminished today, was one of extremes. Despite his reduction from country squire to inmate of a debtor's prison, he remained single-minded about his work of writing a definitive history of Kent, work which occupied forty years of his life. Here is the background to that magnum opus.
