Excerpt from The History of the House of Stanley: From the Conquest, to the Death of the Right Honorable Edward, Late Earl of Derby, in 1776; Containing a Genealogical and Historical Account, of That Illustrious House; To Which Is Added, a Description of the Isle of Man And though this account from so public an author might be esteemed by some very honourable, as being related to, or descended from a family which made one of the greatest figures in the nation for some ages; yet methinks as the noble House of Stanley hath produced so many brave and gallant persons both in peace and war, the original thereof demands a more particular enquiry and description than Mr. Cambden hath thought fit to bestow upon them, who appears to me to have taken the relation given us of this moll worthy family more upon trust, and the credit of others, than any labour or acquired knowledge of his own.
