Book Description
Excerpt from "Time-Honoured Lancaster," Richard II. Act I. Scene I: Historic Notes on the Ancient Borough of Lancaster, Written, Collected and Compiled It is thirty-eight years since the last History of Lancaster appeared. That History was written and compiled by the late Rev. Robert Simpson, m.a., of Queen's College, Cambridge, sometime incumbent of St. Luke's Church, Skerton. Two other Histories of the Borough were published before Mr. Simpson's one by Mr. J. Hall, in 1801, and the other by Mr. C. Clark, in 1807. Many things have happened since 1852, the year when the last History was published, and the ancient City of the Lune has once more, phoenix-like, risen'from its ashes, and within it a spirit of life and activity prevails, such as our fore-fathers could scarcely have dreamed probable or possible. So many changes have occurred during the last thirty years that it seems unnecessary to offer any apology for venturing to issue a work of the Character now presented to the public, - a work presented not without feelings of diffidence - I had almost said of fear and trembling. That it may not prove altogether useless or an abortive effort, is the earnest h0pe of the writer who has spared neither time nor pains to arrive at facts, and to clothe the same in a phraseology acceptable at least.
