Book Description
Excerpt from County Families of Lancashire and Cheshire The Palatine Counties of Lancaster and Chester have been aptly described as the "seed-plots of gentility," possessing, as they do, in proportion to their respective areas, a larger number of old County Families than are to be found in any other of the English shires; families whose representatives have in successive ages borne their part in the stirring scenes that go to make up our "rough island story," and the names of whom are inseparably linked with the most important events in the nation's history - men who have won pre-eminence by power of brain and prowess of arm, by ability to govern in time of peace and the capacity to command in time of war, and who have fought the battle of English liberty, and helped to lay the foundations of that larger freedom we now enjoy. Of the bygone generations that have acted their busy parts in "Bright embattled fields Of trophied helmets, spears, and shields," the precise genealogist and prosaic antiquary have told us little beyond the brief story of baptism, marriage, and burial; details that, however valuable in themselves, are necessarily dry by reason of the rigid manner in which they are narrated.
