Excerpt from Old Yorkshire The completion of the third volume of Old Yorkshire again gives me pleasant occasion to express my earnest thanks to both contributors and subscribers for the generous help they have given me. With this help I trust that I have been enabled to produce a volume containing much valuable matter, which will, I hope, find permanence through its pages. Many of the original papers are on subjects of interest to antiquaries generally, to Yorkshiremen especially, and of historical value and importance. These have been contributed by writers of known ability, whose researches are evidenced by the array of facts to be found in their contributions.

Excerpt from Memorials of Old Yorkshire The Editor desires to express his gratitude to the authors of the various chapters, and especially to Mr. Keyser, who is widely recognised as the chief authority on the architectural details of Norman doorways, for the presentation of the fine series of Plates which illustrate.

Excerpt from Old Yorkshire: Second Series There is an apology due to the subscribers for the delay which has clogged the passage of the book through the press. That delay arose, in a limited sense, by the Change from the old lines, and the transfer of the venture to other hands. But it was further increased and maintained beyond all proportion, and until out of control, by the political crisis which consumed the closing months of the present year. AS a contribution to the history of his time, the Editor records his belief that such a crisis will not readily recur being, however, forewarned, he will now take care that, in the event Of its recurrence, it shall not produce a similar effect upon the appearance of any subsequent volume of this Series.

Excerpt from Legendary Yorkshire Who is there that has not heard of the famous and redoutable hero of history and romance, Arthur, King of the British, who so valiantly defended his country against the pagan Anglo-Saxon invaders of the island? Who has not heard of the lovely but frail Guenevera, his Queen, and the galaxy of female beauty that constituted her Court at Caerleon?

Excerpt from Stories and Sketches Relating to Yorkshire There is only a transient, hectic flush in the enjoyment of unrighteous pleasure; for this soon kills the true life of man. You may think, reader, as many others have imagined, that much of the penalty which men in voluntarily pay for the indulgence of unlicensed desire is the result of conventional theory or education, mov ing the soul, as it were, out of a perfect animal condi tion. Truly, if we may credit the old Saxon chronicles, those early barons did live like tangible wolves or other natural brute beasts; but that all this tended to indi vidual well-being or to national prosperity, we must emphatically deny.

Excerpt from The East Riding of Yorkshire No arguments should be needed to convince the inhabitants of East Yorkshire, young and old, that it is worth their while to learn something of the history of their own district. All of them, doubtless, are patriotic ought they not, for this reason alone, to know more of their patria or fatherland, and, especially, of that part of it which most closely concerns them?

Excerpt from The Old Coaching Days in Yorkshire The original articles which constitute this small work appeared from time to time in T be Yoréséz're Weekly Post. During their progress came numer ous demands from many and various places tor their te-publication in a concise and collective form, and those demands are chicfly responsible for the present issue. The work has been con siderably augmented, the main object being to keep some record of the old Yorkshire coaching times, before the few remaining men Who were connected With them shall have put on the skid for the last time and have passed off the road.

Excerpt from Yorkshire Battles Let pedants prate of wars of kites and crows; we take national life as a unity, and dare to face its evolution through all the throes of birth, own ing ourselves debtors to the old times before us, without being either so unwise or ungenerous as to contemn the bonds of association. And affect a false and impossible isolation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Annals of a Yorkshire House Stanhope are given somewhat at random, and occasionally with a confusion of dates which renders the information they might have conveyed of little worth; letters are introduced, Obviously as the writer found them, and without reference to the order in which they should have been in serted; while with regard to the interest which the ms. Might hold for a modern public, naturally many Of the persons whose names or whose corre spondence are recorded, although of note at the time Of writing, are unknown to the present genera tion. Doubtless it was the intention of John Stanhope from this rough draft to have constructed a more finished and careful work, but this was never done, and subsequently the Journals them selves, and many of the Old letters, appear to have been destroyed.

Excerpt from Shoddy a Yorkshire Tale of Home, Vol. 1 of 3 Was only a keen man Of business, or even a sharp practitioner, with as much heart as the Often quoted paving-stone; and if, as we have the authority Of antiquity for believing, the bowels are the dwelling-place for the tender sentiments of sympathy and compassion, that in his case either the property was not tenantable, or the occupants had been removed by some writ Of ejectment. In both cases I draw this inference, that for a faithful portrait, or correct estimate of character, we should avoid painting our subject in black, and contemplating it only when so depicted, as a good many lights may be obscured by the heavy colour ing, which would otherwise give much life and point to various dimples and curves, and without which the picture is imperfect. Thus, if those keen Observers of human nature referred to could have seen the astute Old lawyer in his garden before breakfast, on a fine spring morning, and with hoe or rake in hand grubbing up the weeds, or re moving the stones, wearing a straw hat and an Old shooting-jacket, and sometimes in the evening with the addition of a long clay pipe, they would scarcely have believed him to be identical with the staid gentleman who, in his suit of black and white neckcloth, left his gate at precisely nine o'clock to catch the omnibus that should take him to town.
