Excerpt from Old Yorkshire The completion of the third volume of Old Yorkshire again gives me pleasant occasion to express my earnest thanks to both contributors and subscribers for the generous help they have given me. With this help I trust that I have been enabled to produce a volume containing much valuable matter, which will, I hope, find permanence through its pages. Many of the original papers are on subjects of interest to antiquaries generally, to Yorkshiremen especially, and of historical value and importance. These have been contributed by writers of known ability, whose researches are evidenced by the array of facts to be found in their contributions.

Excerpt from Old Yorkshire: Second Series There is an apology due to the subscribers for the delay which has clogged the passage of the book through the press. That delay arose, in a limited sense, by the Change from the old lines, and the transfer of the venture to other hands. But it was further increased and maintained beyond all proportion, and until out of control, by the political crisis which consumed the closing months of the present year. AS a contribution to the history of his time, the Editor records his belief that such a crisis will not readily recur being, however, forewarned, he will now take care that, in the event Of its recurrence, it shall not produce a similar effect upon the appearance of any subsequent volume of this Series.

Excerpt from Stories and Sketches Relating to Yorkshire There is only a transient, hectic flush in the enjoyment of unrighteous pleasure; for this soon kills the true life of man. You may think, reader, as many others have imagined, that much of the penalty which men in voluntarily pay for the indulgence of unlicensed desire is the result of conventional theory or education, mov ing the soul, as it were, out of a perfect animal condi tion. Truly, if we may credit the old Saxon chronicles, those early barons did live like tangible wolves or other natural brute beasts; but that all this tended to indi vidual well-being or to national prosperity, we must emphatically deny.

Excerpt from The East Riding of Yorkshire No arguments should be needed to convince the inhabitants of East Yorkshire, young and old, that it is worth their while to learn something of the history of their own district. All of them, doubtless, are patriotic ought they not, for this reason alone, to know more of their patria or fatherland, and, especially, of that part of it which most closely concerns them?

Excerpt from Yorkshire Battles Let pedants prate of wars of kites and crows; we take national life as a unity, and dare to face its evolution through all the throes of birth, own ing ourselves debtors to the old times before us, without being either so unwise or ungenerous as to contemn the bonds of association.

Excerpt from Northern Roses, Vol. 2 of 3: A Yorkshire Story Nobody wanted them, old Molly said; and perhaps the few servants remaining at the Hall were of the same opinion, for they went on in a kind of dreamy way, opening a few windows in the morning, and closing them at night, and giving themselves as little trouble in the gardens and plantations as was consistent. With accounts to be rendered of the sale of fruit, and other produce. In the whole range of the premises nothing looked more deplorable than the stables. The hunters had all been sold, with the exception of two or three turned out to grass, and amongst them was a beautiful young animal, which a celebrated horse trainer had received orders to make ready for the coming winter. Nobody knew why, for Sir James was not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Annals of a Yorkshire House Stanhope are given somewhat at random, and occasionally with a confusion of dates which renders the information they might have conveyed of little worth; letters are introduced, Obviously as the writer found them, and without reference to the order in which they should have been in serted; while with regard to the interest which the ms. Might hold for a modern public, naturally many Of the persons whose names or whose corre spondence are recorded, although of note at the time Of writing, are unknown to the present genera tion. Doubtless it was the intention of John Stanhope from this rough draft to have constructed a more finished and careful work, but this was never done, and subsequently the Journals them selves, and many of the Old letters, appear to have been destroyed.
