Book Description
Excerpt from Short Biographies of the Worthies of Worcestershire It was originally intended that short notices of "Persons Eminent in Art, Literature, and Science" should form part of the Victoria History of Worcestershire; but in its progress this splondid work attained such largo dimensions that the biographical section had to be eliminated, and the materials already collected have been used partly for this present volume. The Dictionary of National Biography has set up for all our eminent men and women a monument more durable than marble. The aim of this little book is to do the same on a small scale for Worcestershire; to satisfy the commemorative instinct of humanity, and to serve as a book of reference. The majority of the names are already dealt with at some length in the sixty-five volumes of the D.N.B., which should be found on the shelves of every Public Library. An asterisk prefixed to a name refers the reader to this wonderful work; and only such facts, chiefly local, are given here, as will make the outline complete in itself. Other sources of information to which we are largely indebted are J. Chambers' Biography of Worcester (1820), W. R. Williams' Members for Worcestershire (1897), Smith and Onslow's Diocesan History of Worcester (1883), the Victoria History, Nash's Worcestershire, T. C. Tuherville's Worcestershire in the 19th Century, Complete Peerage, by G.E.C., Berrow's Worcester Journal, Worcester Herald, Ac. The Editors desire also to acknowledge the assistance and information given by Mr. John Amphlett, M.A., F.S.A., Mr. T. A. C. Attwood, M.A., Mr. W. F. Baillie, Mrs. Baldwyn-Childe, Mr. E. A. B. Barnard, Lieut.Chas. Saville Broome, R.N., Mr. John S. Bumpus, M.A., Mr. John Cotton, F.R.I.B.A., Rev. James Davenport, M.A., Rev. T. G. Dixon, M.A., Canon E. R. Dowdoswoll, M.A., Mr. Thomas Duckworth, Miss Ethel Gabb, Rev. R. G. Griffiths, M.A., Mr. L. W. Hadley, Major J H. Hanhury, Prebendary F. W. Joyce, M.A., Mrs. Alice Parker, Mr. T. H. G. Pearson, M.A., Canon David Robertson, M.A., Mr. A. A. Rollason, Rev. G. A. K. Simpson, M.A., Major Edmund W. Tennant, Mr. J. Willis-Bund, M.A., F.S.A., and others. An anonymous contributor ("A Reader") to the Worcester Journal deserves our special acknowledgments.

Book Description
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
