By John E. Cussans. Illustrated with full-page Plates on Copper and Stone, and a profusion of small Woodcuts.
“Mr. Cussans has, from sources not accessible to Clutterbuck, made most valuable additions to the manorial history of the county from the earliest period downwards, cleared up many doubtful points, and given original details concerning various subjects untouched or imperfectly treated by that writer. The pedigrees seem to have been constructed with great care, and are a valuable addition to the genealogical history of the county. Mr. Cussans appears to have done his work conscientiously, and to have spared neither time, labour, nor expense to render his volumes worthy of ranking in the highest class of County Histories.”—Academy.
Demy 8vo, cloth extra, 12s. 6d.
Doran’s Memories of our Great Towns.
With Anecdotic Gleanings concerning their Worthies and their Oddities. By Dr. John Doran, F.S.A.
“Lively and conversational; ‘brimful,’ as the introductory notice in the volume describes them, ‘of pleasant chatty interest and antiquarian lore.’... The volume will be found useful to ordinary visitors to the towns included within its range.... Many of the anecdotes contained in this pleasant collection have not, so far as we know, been published elsewhere.”—Saturday Review.
Second Edition, demy 8vo, cloth gilt, with Illustrations, 18s.
