Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lancashire Library Preface is often only an apology, or, at the best, an explanation of the raison d´être of the work prefaced. In the present instance no apology can be required, as every student of the wide-spread literature of Lancashire must have felt and acknowledged the absolute want of a book to cover the ground which the "Lancashire Library" professes to occupy. A well-known French author said that "when he wanted a book he wrote it," and I will at once admit that I have been actuated by the same feelings; for as I have wandered farther and farther in the byeways of the literature of our county, I have been the more convinced that no accurate knowledge of its richness and value could be gained until some one had prepared a complete Catalogue embracing all the necessary particulars. This work I have ventured to undertake, whether successfully or not is for the reader to decide. Under the title of the "Literature of Lancashir" I have not included books which were published in the county, or were written by Lancashire men, yet do not in any way refer to the county. Works to be included in my list must be written about or refer to Lancashire places, persons, or things. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
