Excerpt from The Annals of Manchester: A Chronological Record From the Earliest Times to the End of 1885 The history of Manchester is important, not only to its citizens but to all those who care to trace the development of modern civilisation. Its greatness in the present century sometimes leads to forgetfulness of the fact that it is one of the oldest communities in the land, and has had an unbroken existence from Roman and pre-roman days. The long chain of events which have trans formed the ancient village into one of the greatest commercial centres of the world are' not only important in this connection, but are also interesting in themselves. The annals of the city and 'district contain many quaint, picturesque, and romantic incidents. The Annals of Manchester attempts to give, in chronological order, a brief and pithy analysis of the history of Manchester from the earliest times to the present day. The sale of several successive issues of. The Manchester Historical Recorder has sufficiently shown the value and usefulness of such 'a manual. This edition contains, it is hoped, the most essential data in regard to the general, ecclesiastical, municipal, and commercial history of Manchester and Salford. Statistical information has been included, and biographical sketches given of the worthies of the place. The arrangement by dates has been retained, as affording the greatest facility for research, whilst not materially interfering with a general view of the changes, social, national, religious, and commercial, in which Manchester has had a. Share and often an important one. In this way the reader has brought before him the prehistoric settlement; the Roman station; the Saxon village ruined by the Danes; the Norman barony; the mediaeval manor; the early manufacturing town the Puritan stronghold where the first blood of the Civil Wars was shed; the town which gave so many to the fatal rebellion of 1745 and the busy district which saw the rise of the modern cotton trade and the development of the factory system.
