REMARKS.
Arrangement pursued in the description of counties*
We have now completed our " General Description of Virginia ;" having
presented in the first part a view of Natural Virginia, comprehending her
Situation, Boundaries, Extent, Face of the Country, Mineralogy and Geol-
ogy, Scenery and Natural Curiosities, Mountains, Bays, Harbours, Rivers,
&c. and in the second, her Moral and Political Condition: — under which
head we included, Population, Religion, Government and Laws, Arms
and Military Organization, Provisions for the Insane, Penitentiary, Inter-
nal Improvement, Manufactures, Agriculture, Commerce, and Fiscal Con-
cerns. We now proceed to give a more detailed account of the same sub-
jects, taking the State, County, by County, in alphabetical order, and giving
the origin of the county, an accurate and generally minute account of its
topography, and a detail of the number, occupation, &c. of its Citizens,
and of each Town and Village. In order to present a more condensed and
connected view, than would have been possible by taking the counties of the
whole State at once into consideration, in the confused order which an al-
phabetical arrangement would present ; and as that arrangement was abso-
lutely necessary for covenience of reference, we have divided the State into
Eastern and Western Virginia, at the Blue Ridge, and made an alphabeti-
cal arrangement of the counties of each portion separately. The Towns,
Villages, Post Offices, <SfC. are arranged in Alphabetical order in the coun-
ties to which they respectively belong; the County Town, and other places
of more than usual importance, being distinguished by a larger type. An
Alphabetical Index of all the places mentioned, and general subjects treated
of) is at the end of the volume.
Under the head of Eastern Virginia, we will consider all of the
counties east of the Blue Ridge.

ALBEMARLE.
This county was created by the Legislature in 1744, from a part ^of
^Goochland County. It is bounded N. W. by the Blue Ridge, which sep-
arates it from Augusta and Rockingham, N. E. by the southern part of
^Orange, E. by Louisa and Fluvanna, S. by James River which separates it
from Buckingham, and S. W. by Nelson. Its length from S. W. to N.
-jE. is 35 miles, its mean width 20, and area 700 sq. m's. The parallel of N.
-lat. 38° passes very nearly through the centre of the county, which is
likewise the case with long. 1° 30' W. of Washington. The northern part of
^this county is drained by the Rivanna and its constituent creeks, which
uniting below Charlottesville, pass through the South West Mountain,
and enter Fluvanna some miles below. The southern portion of the
county is drained by the waters of the Hardware, which rises by 2 branches,
the one in North Garden, and the other in South Garden, which uniting at
the foot of the S. W. Mountain flow between the portions of it known by
the local name of Carter's and Green-Mountain, and passes also into Flu-
vanna, before its junction with James River.
There is little of the soil of Albemarle absolutely barren, and in the
mountain valleys, and river or creek bottoms it is exceedingly fertile, whilst
the undulating hills which intervene are susceptible of almost unlimited
improvement by judicious cultivation. The scenery in all parts of the county
is exceedingly beautiful and picturesque; we know of no portion of the
state which presents such a number and variety of beautiful prospects as
