Excerpt from Yorkshire, an Historical and Topographical Introduction to a Knowledge of the Ancient State of the Wapentake of Strafford and Tickhill: With Ample Accounts of Doncaster and Conisbrough, and of the Villages, Hamlets, Churches, Antiquities, and Other Matters Connected TherewithThe mass of erudite Topographical information displayed in the following pages, was originally intended by the author as introductory to a more extended work. The departure, however, from this country, of the possessor of the voluminous materials-the fruits of a life of investigation-and out of which the ultimate history would have been composed, has left to the publisher the alternative of cancelling 414 Quarto Pages of interesting matter; or, of offering the present work to the general reader, at a price which will place it within the reach of every person, wishing to obtain a knowledge of the great transactions which have for a succession of centuries, been operating such striking changes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
