Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Thomas and Anne Billopp Farmar, and Some of Their Descendants It was not the intention of the writer of this little book, when the work was conceived, to make more than the veriest sketch of the principal members of the ancient and honorable Farmar family. But, as in his researches so many incidents, intensely interesting, were discovered which he believed his relatives and connections, who have the Farmar blood in their veins, would be equally desirous and laudably curious to know, he could not find it in his power to deny them that privilege. He has found it very difficult to separate legend and tradition from authentic history, and in his endeavor to winnow the true from the false, he has been compelled to ignore numerous very interesting and pretty tales, which in his opinion were too highly colored with romance. He believes, however, that the reader will be interested, entertained, and satisfied with this story, though nearly every sentence of it is supported by documentary proof of its reliability, and after its perusal will agree with the writer that truth is, if not stranger, at least more satisfying than fiction. Of many of the people here mentioned we would all like to know more than it seems possible now to discover. There are many we would all feel honored simply to have known. Perhaps we will know them in the future; but in the present we can but feel proud that we have their blood in our veins - that we are a part of them. There is good old Richard Fermour, who lost his princely estates for being true and steadfast in his friendship for his imprisoned confessor, Nicholas Thayne, through the cupidity of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex.
