Book Description
Excerpt from The Tales of Old Liverpool Mr. Caleb Crossley was a wealthy man. Ho lived in a style of great magnificence at his mansion, a short distance from town; gave frequent routs and parties to his contemporary magnates and their families; kept his coach and pair and a large retinue of servants; and, in a manner, richly merited the pseudonym which old Liverpudlians christened him - namely, Caleb Croesus. Melville House was the name by which his mansion was known, and the most important person in that establishment, after himself and family, was a Mr. George Brown, his major demo, butler, and right hand man. Brown, who hailed from somewhere in Cumberland, had wormed himself cleverly into his master's confidence, until ho became us indispensable to him as his head cashier or managing clerk at the office. He had the entire control of everything that took place in Melville House; the arrangement of balls and festivities of all kinds; the engaging and supervision of the servants; and the personal regulation of the outlay and requirements inimical to the wants of such an establishment. Mr. Crossley being a widower with two grown up daughters, who took little interest in household matters, the duty devolved on Brown to fill the hiatus, and this he succeeded in doing to the fullest satisfaction.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Liverpool Privateers and Letters of Marque: With an Account of the Liverpool Slave Trade In tracing the history of Liverpool privateering and slave trading - upon which the greatness of "the good old town" was suckled - the author has had access to original sources of information never before tapped, and gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to Sir Thomas Brocklebank, Bart., the Messrs. Maclver, Mr. C. K. Lace, Mr. Thomas Hampson (Ruabon), and Mr. T. H. Dixon (Gresford), for permission to inspect and copy rare documents in their possession, which greatly enhance the value of the book, and to his friend, Mr. J. S. Arthur, for his good offices in this direction. The other and principal sources drawn upon are the files of old newspapers, magazines, and other contemporary records requiring no little patience and enthusiasm to ransack. In a few instances, where information on special points has been derived from other authors, as in Professor Laughton's admirable account of Captain Fortunatus Wright, it is acknowledged either in the text or in a foot-note. To quote the prospectus, "this work is not a mere compilation, but the fruit of laborious and exhaustive original research." The utmost pains have been taken to ensure accuracy, and the reader will find the statements of more than one authority corrected.

Book Description
Excerpt from Liverpool a Few Years Since IN the year 1852, Liverpool 0. Few Yea/rs Since, by An Old Stager, was republished in a more abiding form than it had previously assumed in the columns of the Liverpool Albion. The little book sold off rapidly, notwithstanding its being somewhat expensive, as compared with the wonderfully cheap publications of the day, and it is now out of print. It has many a time and oft been suggested that a further and cheaper issue would be acceptable to the Liverpool public. The publisher has, therefore, assumed the responsibility of the present issue; and, learning that such was his intention, I have ventured to preface the original preface by a word or two in explanation of the cir cumstances and surroundings under which the Author penned these sketches.

Book Description
Excerpt from Liverpool: In King Charles the Second's Time The survey of his property in Liverpool, prepared by Edward Moore of Bank Hall for the guidance of William, his son and heir, and drawn up in 1668, has long been known to historians. It formed one of the early volumes of the Chetham Society's publications, and was edited in 1847 by the late Mr. Thomas Heywood. The original manuscript at that time, and for some years after, was in the possession of Mr. Thomas Moore of Seacombe, who claimed descent from the Moores of Bank Hall. At his death in 1879 it was bought by Mr. Henry Young of Liverpool, who decided to publish it, so that its valuable and quaint description of the town, as it was in the reign of Charles the Second, might be accessible to the general reader. For this purpose the late Sir James Picton was asked to prepare it for the press, and he actually began the work, which was however not completed, and at his death the matter was allowed to rest until the present editor undertook the task. Thus, though the manuscript is not printed for the first time, it has never before been published, its issue to members of the Chetham Society not constituting publication. Further, being printed for the members of the Chetham Society, a very limited number of copies was issued, so that the work is rare and practically only known to experts.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Account of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Mersey and Irwell Navigation (commonly styled the Old Quay) Company, and the Trustees of the Duke of Bridgewater's Canal. The flats or barges, in both cases, have to navigate the River Mersey from Liver pool to Runcorn, a distance of about twenty miles, according to the ordinary track which vessels are able to pursue, and thence by separate routes, the Duke of Bridgewater's navigation by canal terminating in Castle-field, Manchester, and that of the Old Quay Company consisting alternately of canals and the Rivers Mersey and Irwell, till it reaches the same great depot; the whole distance being about fifty miles. The Old Quay Company obtained their first Act of Parliament in 1733, and the Duke of Bridgewater in 1760. We shall take it for granted that, at this latter period, the trade of Liverpool had so far increased as to render expedient the establishment of a Second means of conveyance, namely, the Bridgewater Canal. We have now, therefore, to ascertain whether, since the period of 1760, there has been such an increase in the trade and commerce of this district, as to render it probable that even a t/z'ird line of communication might be desirable and beneficial to the public; and a few leading facts in the comparison will be abundantly sufficient to determine this point. In 1760, the number of vessels which paid dock duties at Liverpool was 2560. In 1824, when the Railway Company was formed, it was the tonnage of the port having more than doubled in the ten preceding years, namely, since 1814.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Rev. Thomas Spencer, of Liverpool Watch. He himself observes, in a hasty sketch of his life, which now lies before me, As far back as I can recollect, my memory was complimented by many as being very reten tive, and my progress in knowledge was more considerable than that Of my school-fellows; a natural curiosity and desire Of knowledge, I think I may say, without vanity, distinguished even the period Of my infancy. I now remem ber questions that I asked when about four years Old, which were rather singular, and which were Confined chiefly to biblical sub jects. No child could be more attached to places of worship, or could be more inquisi tive about their concerns than myself; and I may add, more given to imitate the actions of.
