are three others named Clifford, in reference to
their contiguity to a fordable stream; and 22 na-
med Clifton, implying towns on a cliff, or high
ground. None of these demand any particular
notice, except Clifton contiguous to Bristol, to
which city it forms a beautiful and interesting ap-
pendage ; as its name implies, it is built on an em-
inence, at the foot of which, on the north bank
of the Lower Avon, is a hot well, that contrib-
utes greatly to its advantage, by the numerous
visitors who seek to avail themselves of the ben-
efits of its restorative properties. The buildings
of Clifton are in general elegant and commodious,
and from their elevated site command extensive
and beautiful prospects. The population, which
in 1801 was only 4,457, in 1821 amounted to 8,811.
