"Middlesex, an inland county within the basin of the Thames, bounded
on the N by Herts, on the E by Essex, on the SE by Kent, on the S and the
SW by Surrey, and on the W by Bucks. Its outline is very irregular, but
may be described as that of a parallelogram extending from E to W with two
quadrilateral projections on the NE and SW. The boundary is traced along
all the E by the river Lea, along all the SW, the S, and the SE by the river
Thames, and along most of the W by the river Colne. The length from NE to
NW is 28 miles, the greatest breadth 17 1/2, the circuit is 104 (40 of which
are along the course of the Thames), and the area is 181,301 acres, and
its population 3,251,671" from The Comprehensive Gazetteer of England and
Wales, 1894-5
