Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of Chirk Castle The number of existing manuscripts of an early date, bearing on the history of Chirkland, is a comparatively small one. The British Museum yields very little material. It is from the State Papers in the Record Office, and from one or two private collections, that the greater part of the manuscript authorities quoted in this book are taken. Of the Record Office MSS. relating to the lordship of Chirkland, the Estate Accounts and Surveys furnish the most valuable material, and in this department the supply is a comparatively large one. The inclusion of these accounts in the text has necessarily broken the consecutive history of Chirkland at many points. But it has seemed to me that if the book is to be of any use to a serious student, here and there, it must include some details taken from contemporary sources, on which such a student can base his own conclusions. History, whether dealing with great or small themes, is worthless if it fails to present any picture of the life of the past. Such a picture is often more vividly called up by some detail regarding an ancient tax or a workman´s wages, than by many chapters of abstract conclusions.
