Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Antiquarian Repertory, Vol. 3 of 4: A Miscellaneous Assemblage of Topography, History, Biography, Customs, and Manners; Intended to Illustrate and Preserve Several Valuable Remains of Old Times The taste of age in which we live, seems to require little recommendation to the study and love of the writings of those who have long since been numbered with their fathers. Never, indeed, was the classical injunction, "Antiquam exquirite matrem," less necessary to be inculcated than at the present day. To this prejudice in favour of the nature of our Work, aided in some measure, we trust, by the intrinsic merit of the Pieces composing our First Volume, much, certainly, of that Patronage is owing, which has tended, to enrich the present Publication. It would be at once to conceal the honour he has received, and the gratitude it becomes him to express, were the Publisher not to name those Noblemen and Gentlemen who have furnished him with the means of improving this Volume of the New Edition of "Valuable Remains of Old Times." In addition to what those ingenious and learned men, Francis Grose, Thomas Astle, and other Eminent Antiquaries had collected, to form this Third Volume, there will at present be found: Memorials of Thomas Lord Fairfax, copied from the Original MS. in the Library of Leeds Castle, obligingly communicated by Edmund Lodge, Esq, Lancaster Herald, F.S.A. Certaine Propositions offered to the Consideration of the Hon. Houses of Parliament, 1642, printed from a scarce Tract of four leaves, in the Library of C. Williams Wynn, Esq. M.P.
