First sentence: AT somewhat more than halfway distance between Weymouth on the skirt of the Altantic, and the good old city of Bristow by the Severn sea, on the thin iron line that crosses the wide end of the western peninsula between those places,-and which in the early days of railway enterprise was cleverly, but of course futilely, stretched as a boom, designed to 'block' all further extension westward,-and just inside the county of Wilts, lies the quiet little town of Westbury.
