Kent

KENT is bounded on the north by the German Ocean and the estuary of the Thames, which ends at the north-eastern point of the Isle of Sheppey, on the west by Surrey, on the south by Sussex, the Kent water, the river Rother, and the English Channel, which also forms its southeastern and eastern limit: it juts out from the south-eastern coast of England in the form of a cant, corner, or horn, whence its ancient Iberian or British name, Romanised into Cantium, and preserved to us in the present name of Kent: this horn runs into the sea from west to east, its seaboard dipping from north to south.
