The History of Guernsey and its Bailiwick: With Occasional Notices of Jersey is a book written by Ferdinand Brock Tupper and published in 1854. The book is a comprehensive account of the history of Guernsey, a British Crown dependency located in the English Channel, and its surrounding islands. Tupper covers the island’s early history, including its occupation by the Romans, the arrival of the Normans, and the impact of the English Civil War. He also examines the island’s cultural and economic development, including its role as a center of the wool trade and as a base for privateers during the Napoleonic Wars. In addition, Tupper provides occasional insights into the history of Jersey, another British Crown dependency located nearby. The book is considered an important historical resource for anyone interested in the history of the Channel Islands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
