Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of Old Cheshire But wide as the range is, it is manifestly impossible in a volume of this size to cover the whole ground. It does not profess to be a complete history, or to give all those memories of the past which ought to be of interest to those of the present day. Perhaps no county is richer in these treasures than the county of Chester, and every corner of it has its own special ones. The city of Chester gives its title to the heir to the Crown, as the Prince of Wales is always Earl of Chester; and that fact in itself gives a dignity and importance to both city and county. Then, as will be pointed out in some of the papers which follow, as a County Palatine, Cheshire had privileges and rights of a peculiar character, and all this has made the task of selection of subjects to be treated of more difficult, and the reader will doubtless sympathise with the Editors, even though he may not altogether approve of the result of their labours, and may lament certain omissions.

This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Town of Cheshire, Berkshire County, Mass In offering to the public this simple history of a picturesque Berkshire town the authors believe the occasion appropriate for an explanation of the circumstances that led to the undertaking. From our earliest recollections, the study of the history, and the progress of the town, has afforded us a greater degree of pleasure than we have de rived from but few other sources. The memories of childhood recall the delightful emotions we experienced when sitting in the chimney corner we listened to the thrilling tales of the early settlers as told by their immediate descendants, and\a passion for a knowledge of the beginning, rise and prog ress of the little colony has marked the years in their passage. In the delicious days of childhood every feature of the surrounding land scape was as familiar as household words. In the bright June days we wandered through the glens, from the hollows we plucked the violets, from the knolls the delicate blood root blossoms, and in autumn climbed the wooded hills for nuts. We knew the green islands in the river, the beds of white sand, the village streets and lanes, the yellowish spire of the ancient church 'where we went with our parents to worship God. Every house every person - we knew them all in those olden days. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Two of them, with some slight alterations, were included in the Ballads and Legends of Cheshire, collected by the late Colonel Egerton Leigh, and published in 1867, So many of the old houses in the two counties palatine have disappeared within the last half century, and so many of the legends and traditions connected with them have been lost, that it is desirable the latter, whenever discovered, should receive either in prose or verse some form calculated to give them permanency. Those to which the author has endeavoured to give a metrical form have been communicated to him by friends in possession of the houses to which they relate, or who were in some other way connected with them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edith: Or Love and Life in Cheshire; A Poem The Rector's Child. Edith Trevor closed the door of the rectory gently; Linger'd in the porch, and twirl'd the string of her bonnet; Slowly pluck'd a flower from jasmine near her, by habit; Slowly, lost in dreams, her fingers nervously twitching, Leaf by leaf broke off, and did not know that she did it. Edith, you grown sad, the romp and joy of the household? On the right you heard the anvil ring in the village; Heard the ass's bray, the mastiff's surly rejoinder; Heard the waggon-wheels, and lusty whip of the carter, Starting blithe away, refresh'd, from door of the Heron. Greenly water-meadows were spread below in the hollow, Sweet with new-mown grass; and cattle, hither and thither, Slowly roam'd, at peace, or loved to wade in the water. On the left, the garden, in all the glory of summer. now she stood so long, the swallow carelessly twitter'd, Neath the eaves o'erhead, no longer scared with her presence: Then she heard a foot, and quickly, shunning the village, Edith slipp'd away, and crossed the lawn, and was hidden; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Lancashire and Cheshire Antiquarian Society, 1911, Vol. 29 It is less diflicult now than it was a generation or two ago to appraise the value of things ancient. Perhaps there is a tendency in some quarters to exaggerate these values and to let mere antiquity outweigh intrinsic merit. Yet none who are thoughtful and reverent will make light of their heirlooms, and surely Old customs are entitled to our regard as belonging to the heirlooms of history. In an age like the present, moreover, we are apt to test antiquity by the touchstone Of utility alone, forgetful of the axiom that utility and beauty cannot well walk apart. Yet it is by these tests, both of utility and beauty, as well as by the test of antiquity, that this old cathedral custom challenges our respect and admiration, and it may even appear upon examination that our forefathers were herein wiser in their generation than their modern children of light.

This is not very precise as to the year when he had seen this ex treme age, and, unluckily, the account of the funeral wants the date of the year. In Tong's Visitation, 1532 3, Rowland Stanley has entered himself as unmarried, and we therefore place Stanley's birth in 1534, and take the now of Wadsworth to mean 1629, the date Of his book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Halls in Lancashire and Cheshire: Including Notes on the Ancient Domestic Architecture of the Counties Palatine With Numerous Illustrations As minute architectural descriptions are not easily followed by the general public, and are apt to be found tedious even by professional readers, I have endeavoured so far as possible to Supply their place by accurate drawings. In the illustrations accompanying topographical books it has been too common to take great liberties with facts in order to attain picturesqueness of effect. In the sketches and ground plans contained in the present work the information of the reader has been the object strictly kept in view, and the utmost pains have been taken to ensure absolute accuracy. -in the case of the quadrangular houses bird's-eye views have been given, as no other method of representation would convey any just idea of their size and importance. Owing to pressure of business, I have been obliged to forego the pleasure of making these drawings with my own hand. The illustrations have, therefore, been prepared by others, in part from my own sketches, and in part from carefully measured drawings made specially for this work under my direction. I have to express my thanks to my friends Messrs. W. W. Baldwin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plebeians and Patricians, Vol. 1 of 2: By the Author of "Old Maids," "Old Bachelors," &C. &C Forty-eight years ago, the parish of Shawton forming one of the north eastern extremities of Cheshire, was as beautiful and picturesque in its appearance, as the most enthusiastic lover of nature could desire. The summer sun shone down upon it, and upon its quiet cottages and comfortable farmhouses, undimmed, save by a few silvery clouds; and the birds, the streams, and the trees waved and sung in the bright sky, with nothing near them to mar their beauty. In one of these farm-houses the family to which our story refers were, on the 2d of July, 1784, assembled in deep and anxious consultation. They had just returned from attending the last rites of their protector and father, John Manford, or, as he was more generally called "Honest John." He had died full of years, and at a right time for his own comfort, though at a very wrong one for that of his family; which consisted of a wife, three sons, and two daughters.
