Opinions of the Press.
“A remarkably handsome volume, typographically equal to the best productions of any European capital.”—North British Daily Mail.
“A handsome book. It is extremely interesting, and is a work which cannot fail to find a permanent place amongst the best books devoted to the history of the county. The military history of Yorkshire is very closely investigated in this work. Although the book is written in a clear and picturesque style, great care and attention have been given to the researches of antiquaries and historians, and many authorities have been consulted, in consequence of which, several long-established errors have been corrected, and some oft-repeated but superficial conclusions confuted. Special attention has been given to the military history of the county during the great rebellion—a subject which has yet to be fairly and intelligently treated by the general historian. So far as the limits of the work permit, the general history of the county, from epoch to epoch has been sketched, maintaining the continuity of the work, and increasing its interest and value both to the general reader and the specialist. The printers of the book are Messrs. Wm. Andrews and Co., Hull, and it must be regarded as a good specimen of local typography.”—Wakefield Free Press.
“An important work.”—Beverley Independent.
