Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of Old Cheshire But wide as the range is, it is manifestly impossible in a volume of this size to cover the whole ground. It does not profess to be a complete history, or to give all those memories of the past which ought to be of interest to those of the present day. Perhaps no county is richer in these treasures than the county of Chester, and every corner of it has its own special ones. The city of Chester gives its title to the heir to the Crown, as the Prince of Wales is always Earl of Chester; and that fact in itself gives a dignity and importance to both city and county. Then, as will be pointed out in some of the papers which follow, as a County Palatine, Cheshire had privileges and rights of a peculiar character, and all this has made the task of selection of subjects to be treated of more difficult, and the reader will doubtless sympathise with the Editors, even though he may not altogether approve of the result of their labours, and may lament certain omissions.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Town of Cheshire, Berkshire County, Mass In offering to the public this simple history of a picturesque Berkshire town the authors believe the occasion appropriate for an explanation of the circumstances that led to the undertaking. From our earliest recollections, the study of the history, and the progress of the town, has afforded us a greater degree of pleasure than we have de rived from but few other sources. The memories of childhood recall the delightful emotions we experienced when sitting in the chimney corner we listened to the thrilling tales of the early settlers as told by their immediate descendants, and\a passion for a knowledge of the beginning, rise and prog ress of the little colony has marked the years in their passage. In the delicious days of childhood every feature of the surrounding land scape was as familiar as household words. In the bright June days we wandered through the glens, from the hollows we plucked the violets, from the knolls the delicate blood root blossoms, and in autumn climbed the wooded hills for nuts. We knew the green islands in the river, the beds of white sand, the village streets and lanes, the yellowish spire of the ancient church 'where we went with our parents to worship God. Every house every person - we knew them all in those olden days. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Glossary of Words Used in the Dialect of Cheshire Although a Glossary of the Words peculiar to each County of England seems as reasonable an object of curiosity as its History, Antiquities, Climate, and various Productions, yet it has been generally omitted by those persons who have undertaken to write the Histories of our different Counties.

Book Description
Excerpt from Edith: Or Love and Life in Cheshire; A Poem The Rector's Child. Edith Trevor closed the door of the rectory gently; Linger'd in the porch, and twirl'd the string of her bonnet; Slowly pluck'd a flower from jasmine near her, by habit; Slowly, lost in dreams, her fingers nervously twitching, Leaf by leaf broke off, and did not know that she did it. Edith, you grown sad, the romp and joy of the household? On the right you heard the anvil ring in the village; Heard the ass's bray, the mastiff's surly rejoinder; Heard the waggon-wheels, and lusty whip of the carter, Starting blithe away, refresh'd, from door of the Heron. Greenly water-meadows were spread below in the hollow, Sweet with new-mown grass; and cattle, hither and thither, Slowly roam'd, at peace, or loved to wade in the water. On the left, the garden, in all the glory of summer. now she stood so long, the swallow carelessly twitter'd, Neath the eaves o'erhead, no longer scared with her presence: Then she heard a foot, and quickly, shunning the village, Edith slipp'd away, and crossed the lawn, and was hidden; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lays and Legends of Cheshire: With Other Poems and Ballads Few of the following Ballads were written during visits to Lyme in the lifetime of the late Mr. Legh, and at the suggestion of Mrs. Legh, and appeared in a small volume printed in 1861, entitled Sir Percy Legh. Two of them, with some slight alterations, were included in the Ballads and Legends of Cheshire, collected by the late Colonel Egerton Leigh, and published in 1867, So many of the old houses in the two counties palatine have disappeared within the last half century, and so many of the legends and traditions connected with them have been lost, that it is desirable the latter, whenever discovered, should receive either in prose or verse some form calculated to give them permanency. Those to which the author has endeavoured to give a metrical form have been communicated to him by friends in possession of the houses to which they relate, or who were in some other way connected with them.

Excerpt from Arrah Neil, or Times of Old, Vol. 2 of 3 But all these diļ¬iculties were at length over come - though the one said to the other, that it put him ln mind of the Pass of Ronces valles, and the other replied, As much like Roncesvalles, my good friend, as a Cheshire cheese is to the Peak of Derby. But, pray recollect your taciturnity. It will not do to break out now. There is the boat, I see; and advancing over the sand, he spoke a few words to one of the men who was awake, and who replied with the common and significant answer made by Englishmen on so many dif ferent occasions of All 's right, sir.
