| Summary |
"Norfolk Annals, Vol. 1" by Charles Mackie is a historical account compiled from the files of the "Norfolk Chronicle," written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a chronological record of notable events in Norfolk during the 19th century, specifically from 1801 to 1850. It provides a detailed look at local occurrences, reflecting the social habits, customs, and events significant to the residents of the region during this time. The opening of "Norfolk Annals" introduces the concept of the work and its origins, describing it as an elaboration of earlier attempts to chronicle local history, namely the "Norfolk and Norwich Remembrancer." The narrative establishes that the annals include a range of topics from significant public events, social issues such as the distribution of aid during scarce times, updates on local industries and businesses, to details of governmental and military activity in response to the political climate of the day. The preface emphasizes the importance of this chronology as a vital source for understanding the development of Norfolk's society over half a century. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
