Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chronicles of Old Pontefract The design of the Compiler of these "Chronicles of Old Pontefract" has been to compress within the limits of an easily accessible volume the broad outlines of the history of this ancient Borough, more especially as it is interwoven with the general history of England. The indefatigable labours of Boothroyd and Fox during the early part of the last Century have laid the present writer under obligations which it would be impossible to exaggerate. In their day, however, the Public Records - since transcribed by the various Archæological Associations - were largely inaccessible, and hence errors into which these early historians fell have since been corrected by subsequent writers, more especially by the late Mr. Richard Holmes, F.A.S., of Pontefract - a painstaking and enthusiastic antiquary, whose researches into Pontefract history deservedly entitle him to a place in the front rank among our local celebrities. It is unnecessary to discuss here the relative value of the authorities upon which the writer has relied for much of the information contained in this volume; their mere enumeration would more than occupy a page, and the more important of them are referred to in the footnotes.
