Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of Old Somerset The object of the present volume is to provide a conspectus of the principal historical and archaeological interests of the country of Somerset These, however, are so rich and varied that the Editor has found it beyond his power to include between its covers all the attractive topics that might be treated. Still, the work, if not actually encyclopaedic, is fairly comprehensive, and its scope is certainly wider than that of any similar publication while it is far more authoritative. The different writers have attempted to deal with their subjects in a literary, as well as scientific, spirit. Nothing has been assumed that a person of good education may not be reasonably expected to know; and, conversely, as the writers, in most instances, are either well-known authorities or particularly acquainted with their respective subjects, it may be confidently anticipated that the results of their labours will be to a "make the bounds of knowledge wider yet," even for those residents possessing an antecedent familiarity with some of the topics. All the papers, with two exceptions, have been specially written for "Memorials of Old Somerset," and, conformably with the aim of the series, in a manner adapted to the cultivated general reader.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of Old Devonshire The Editor takes this opportunity of rectifying two omissions in his preliminary sketch. Owing to some accident, he failed to refer to the defence of Dartmouth against the attack of Du Chastel in 1404. This event was memorable on account of the active part taken by the women, who, Amazon-like, hurled Hints and pebbles on the French, and thus expedited their retirement. The other omission concerns the abortive Cavalier rising of 1655. Penruddock and Groves, the leaders in the afiair (for which they suffered death at Exeter), were both Wiltshire men, but it is certainly interesting that an attempt which might have antedated the Restoration by five years was initiated by the proclamation of Charles II. At South Molton - a town of the county of which George Monk, to whom the Merry Monarch owed his crown, was a native.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of Old Essex Belongs is simple and understandable. It is to produce books which, while they do not assume to be detailed historical records of any one county, shall gather together the principal episodes of a county's history, and afford prominence to some of its outstanding characteristics and features. Thus in the present volume, dealing with a part of our land which, by reason of its geographical position, was necessarily the scene of frequent and exciting struggles for supremacy between Briton and Roman, considerable space has been devoted to the fascinating record of those far-off days. Again, the almost unique association of Essex with the Royal Forests of England, of which small fragments now remain, renders such a study of the Forest Records as Dr. Cox contributes of especial interest. And so, too, in regard to such widely different subjects as the Religious Houses of the county and the Monumental Brasses which are still contained within its churches, Essex, with few exceptions, stands at the head of all other counties. In common with other counties, Essex. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of Old Northamptonshire Orthamptonshire is so rich in interest, both historically and architecturally, that it has been thought that another book, which does not encroach upon the provinces of the county history or guide-book, but which seeks to illustrate certain objects of interest and historic association, would not be out of place. In considering the subjects, I thought that many people would like to have some of my father's notes on the county. I had intended to include a few that were unpub lished, but on further consideration I found they were so incomplete that instead I have reprinted some that were only accessible to a limited number in the pages of the Architectural Societies' Reports. I have endeavoured, by cutting these down, to bring them to a level of more general interest, without impairing the value of the con tribution.
