Excerpt from Greenwich: A Poem, Descriptive and Historical The Author flatters himself, that, when the antiquity and rising splendour of Greenwich are considered, the making it a subject for encomium needs little apology. Greenwich is mentioned in Doomsday Book, under the name of Greenviz, Probably it had been a town long before, though how long must be left to conjecture. As it now stands, it was for many ages called East Greenwich, to distinguish it from West Greenwich, or Deptford, that is Deep-ford, from the little river Ravensborne running between the two parts. The ancient celebrity of Greenwich was considerable, but the Author must confine himself to very narrow limits in his account. We find that Edward the Third founded a religious house adjoining to his palace at Greenwich. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
