"LINDSEY (PARTS OF), the N and NE division of Lincolnshire. It is separated from the S and SE division mostly by the river Witham; but it projects beyond that river, along the right bank of the Brant, to Waddington, and has an artificial boundary east-north-eastward thence to the neighbourhood of Bardney; and it recedes from the Witham at Frith-Bank, about 3 miles above Boston, -retires thence curvingly north-eastward to the Lade Bank, near Nordyke bridge, -and has a boundary thence partly eastward along the Lade Bank, and partly artificial thence southeastward to the sea. Its topography, and most of its statistics, are given in the article LINCOLNSHIRE. Its name was anciently written Lindisse; and is a corruption of the Lindon of Ptolemy, with the affix e or ey, signifying "island."
