The Annals Of Yorkshire From The Earliest Period To The Present Time Etc With Illustrations

Excerpt from The Annals of Yorkshire, From the Earliest Period to 1852 Agreeably to previous announcement, the first volume contains a record of the most interesting events connected with the County of which it professes to treat, chronologically arranged, from a remote period to the present time, compiled from authentic sources. Following in the order of date, is also given incidental notices of eminent men, whose public services and attainments deservedly endear their memories to posterity; reserving the fuller account, in somewhat of a biographical shape, for the close of the second volume. The several minerals, organic remains, together with the successive discoveries of the various relics of past ages; cannot fdl to be interesting to the antiquarian and geologist; nor will the progress of intelligence and civilization, as exhibited from the timm of the Norman Conquest to the establishment of free and responsible government afford less abundant material for reflection in the study of history.
