Book Description
Excerpt from Materials for a History of the Wither Family The Wither family may not have produced any, or many, world-famous men and women; but it is not without just pride that its representatives to-day look back to forbears of distinction in all branches of Church and State, of literature, law and commerce; and especially to a long succession of country squires living on their estates, good old English gentlemen, serving their country as magistrates, their parish as benefactors, honoured by their neighbours, and beloved by the poor. As the sheets were going through the press the author of this family history experienced an irreparable loss in the death, at the early age of eighteen, at Winchester College, of his only surviving son. This fact may be a sufficient excuse for some errors in correcting proofs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
