A CAREFULLY COMPILED INDEX.
Opinions of the Press.
The following are extracted from a number of favourable reviews of
“Yorkshire in the Olden Times.”The Bury Free Press says: “The volume is one of wide and varied interest, which will secure for it readers in all parts of the country.”
The Shields Daily Gazette states: “The work consists of a series of articles contributed by various authors, and it thus has the merit of bringing together much special knowledge from a great number of sources. It is an entertaining volume, full of interest for the general reader, as well as for the learned and curious.”
The Hornsea Gazette concludes its notice by saying: “The work is one which cannot fail to instruct and entertain the reader.”
It is pronounced by the Hull Examiner “a most readable and well-bound volume.”
Says the Malton Gazette: “Unlike many books akin to it, this work contains nothing not of permanent and exclusive worth, and Mr. Andrews’ latest book is one which the future historian of the shire of many acres will be glad to avail himself of.”
The Christian Leader finishes a long and favourable review as follows: “The volume is one of diversified interest, likely to find readers in other parts of the country as well as in the great province to which it has particular reference.”
The Edition is limited to 400 copies, and only a few remain on sale.
