"Lincolnshire, maritime county in East of England, bounded
North by Yorkshire, from which it is separated by the Humber;
East by the North Sea; South by Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire,
and Norfolk; and West by Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire,
and Rutland. Lincolnshire is the second largest county in
England. For a very long time it has been divided into 3 'parts'
-namely, the Parts of Lindsey, the Parts of Kesteven, and
the Parts of Holland. Generally speaking the land is flat
and low, especially on the coast, which in some parts requires
an embankment to check the encroachments of the sea. The Wolds,
or Chalk Hills, in the Northeast, are about 47 miles long
and 6 miles broad." From Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British
Isles, 1887.
