Strange Stories, Characters, Scenes, Mysteries, and Memorable Events in the History of Old England.
In his present work Mr. Andrews has traversed a wider field than in his last book, “Historic Yorkshire,” but it is marked by the same painstaking care for accuracy, and also by the pleasant way in which he popularises strange stories and out-of-the-way scenes in English History. There is much to amuse in this volume, as well as to instruct, and it is enriched with a copious index.—Notes and Queries.
A fascinating work.—Whitehall Review.
Famous Frosts and Frost Fairs in Great Britain.
Chronicled from the Earliest to the Present Time.
The work is thoroughly well written, it is careful in its facts, and may be pronounced exhaustive on the subject. Illustrations are given of several frost fairs on the Thames, and as a trustworthy record this volume should be in every good library. The usefulness of the work is much enhanced by a good index.—Public Opinion.
A great deal of curious and valuable information is contained in these pages.... A comely volume.—Literary World.
Not likely to fail in interest.—Manchester Guardian.
