Summary "A Concise History and Directory of the City of Norwich for 1811" by Berry is a historical account and directory written in the early 19th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Norwich, including details about its history, population, industries, and notable institutions of the time. The narrative is likely rich in local color, making it valuable for both residents and visitors seeking to understand the city's background and current standing. The opening of the book presents an editor's address to the public, indicating that it follows a prior directory published nine years earlier. The editor commends various contributions from local gentlemen to enhance the accuracy of the listings and historical sections included in this new edition. The initial chapters outline crucial local information, including population statistics, the city's infrastructure, and a brief history of Norwich, touching upon its origins, notable events, and significant architectural landmarks. The thorough data points on demographics, ecclesiastical and civic governance, and the city’s evolving commercial landscape set the tone for a document that serves as both directory and historical reference.
