Book Description
Excerpt from Abbeys, Castles and Ancient Halls of England and Wales: Their Legendary Lore and Popular History The reception accorded to the first edition of the present work has induced the Publishers, at considerable expense, to have it reproduced in a more complete and popular form. The present edition has, therefore, been carefully re-edited, revised, and enlarged to three volumes, by a gentleman acquainted with the subject; the Appendix has been incorporated into the body of the book; the Counties have all been re-arranged, and grouped, as nearly as may be, in each volume, into Southern, Midland, and Northern; and all the added articles have as little of the merely archaeological and as much of the more interesting historical, biographical, and traditionary elements in them as possible. With these changes, the Publishers trust the work will be found more useful and attractive than before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
