by Granville Sharp

An Account of the Ancient Division of the English Nation into Hundreds and Tithings is a historical book written by Granville Sharp in 1784. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the ancient division of England into small administrative units known as ""hundreds"" and ""tithings."" Sharp explores the origins and evolution of these divisions, tracing their history back to the Anglo-Saxon period. He also examines their role in the English legal system, particularly in the administration of justice and the collection of taxes. The book is a valuable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the history of England's political and legal institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Basically, the guy who started Sierra Leone because he was an abolitionist also believed that the whole idea of the township came from the Old Testament, which then lived on in the Magna Carta.
