In old Celtic chronicles we find the name Caer Oder, or "the City of the Chasm," given to a place in this neighborhood, a name peculiarly appropriate to the situation of Bristol, or rather of its suburb, Clifton. The Saxons called it Briegstow, "bridge-place." In 1373, it was constituted a county of itself by Edward III. It was made the seat of a bishopric by Henry VIII., in 1542 (now united with Gloucester). In 1831, the Reform agitation gave origin to riots that lasted for several days. The rioters destroyed a number of public and private buildings, and had to be dispersed by the military. Sebastian and Southey were na- Cabot, Chatterton, and tives of Bristol. Pop. about 365,000. a
