DENBIGHSHIRE, a county of Wales, bounded on the south by Merioneth and Montgomery shires, on the north by Flintshire and the Irish sea, on the west by Caernarvon, and part of Merionethshire. It is about 40 miles long and 21 broad. The air is wholesome, but sharp, the country being pretty hilly, and the snow lying long on the tops of the mountains. The soil in general is barren: but the vale of Clwyd, so called from its being watered by that river, is a very fertile pleasant spot of great extent, and well inhabited. The chief commodities are black cattle, sheep, and goats, rye, called here amelcorn, and lead-ore. The county sends two members to parliament, viz. a knight for the shire, and a burgess for Denbigh the capital.
