Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford County Histories, Oxfordshire There are few counties so rich in historical associations as Oxfordshire, and the presence near at hand of many concrete illustrations of notable events should help to make the study of history a matter of real, living interest. How valuable an asset such associations are in develop ing the intelligence of the children, many teachers have proved by experience: to them it is hoped that this book will be welcome as a supplement to their efforts, and as a means of enlarging the field of interest which they have already created.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxfordshire Description of Oxfordshire without Ox ford may seem at first sight something like the proverbial Hamlet with the part of Hamlet left out. Of course, in any account of the history and topography of the county, Oxford itself must be frequently referred to. But as the city has already formed the subject of a previous volume of this series, I have felt at liberty to omit all description of it, and so to find space for an adequate account of the many charming places which are sometimes rather overshadowed by the ranscendent Interest of the University City. I hop: that I may help to dissipate the notion, not pemaps so common as it once was, that Oxford 13 a lov\ly city, but set down in a somewhat dull part Of England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Oxfordshire Although the present volume is essentially a sketch of the County of Oxfordshire, many of its pages are occupied with University history. This is unavoidable, as County and University are often so closely bound together that no sharp line of demarcation can be drawn between them. It was at first intended to give full references to all authorities, but their number proved too great to allow of their entire inclusion in a popular book, and they have only been given where their omission seemed to be an injustice to living writers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of Oxford County In the north ern part of Oxford County, there 1s a small sti earn tributary to the An droscogoin, called Ellis River. It has three branches, two descending from the moun tains to the north and north-west, and the third issuing from a pond, which bears the same name 0with the river, lying to the east. It lorms along its banks a large quantity of beautiful interval; above rises a plain, which as you go to the north, opens for several miles into a widening tract of fertile land. 011 every side but the south, where it winds its way to the Androscocrgin, mountains, here distant and covered with forests, here jutting into the valley, and bared either by nature or by terrible fires which have swept them to the summit, form in their rough Grandeur, a strange contrast With the smooth ness and beauty of the valley. Into this nook, whither scarce any had entered but the In dian as he chased the wild beast or fished in the waters, the emigrant betook himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History of Oxford: 727-1100, Preceded by a Sketch of the Mythical Origin of the City and University Throughout the treatise I have attempted to deal fairly with the facts before me. I have not thought it my duty to magnify the importance of Oxford - a duty which the majority of local historians seem to consider as devolving upon them. If in places I have dismissed popular and interesting traditions as untenable, I trust by bringing together a fuller summary than has yet been done of records which exist, I have built up, so to speak, as much as I have pulled down; and if I have not surrounded Oxford with a mysterious halo of glory, and contended for an antiquity which there is no reason to suppose it possessed, I still hope I may have done something to show the posi tion which Oxford really occupied in the early history of the country. A tolerably full alphabetical index of places and persons named in the course of the book has been given. An alphabetical index of subjects I have, as a rule, found to be practically useless, since on the one hand it is impossible to know for certain under what word the subject should be indexed, and on the other hand, there cannot be many historical subjects, if indeed there be any, which are not associated with some known place or person, and which cannot therefore be far more readily found in the index under such a reference; consequently but a few technical words, and others under which it has been thought useful to group several references have been introduced. Moreover the somewhat full 'table of Contents' will, it is anticipated, supply a ready means of reference to the various subjects treated in the work. But I have kept distinct an index to the books and mss. From which the data given in my work have been extracted, or which for various reasons may have been quoted; and my reason for doing this is because I have laid so great a stress upon the importance of knowing whence we derive the facts on which we depend for our history. Scattered throughout the pages of a somewhat long index of names and places, the list of authorities would scarcely fulfil its purpose; but arranged as it is, besides exhibiting the sources whence that which has been stated is deduced, it exhibits also in a measure what'has not been explored or made use of. By turning to this index the student or any historian of Oxford who may make use of the material here brought together, can see at once what new ground he will have to explore or how far the ground already explored has been properly dealt with. I am aware that this conspectus may expose my short comings, just as the printing of the originals exposes my errors in translation; but if it advances in any way the true study of the history of Oxford I shall be only too pleased that both are exposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Oxford Even as it is, I have been unavoidably compelled to save space by omitting much that I had written and practically all my refer ences and acknowledgments. Yet, where one has gathered so much honey from other men's flowers not to acknowledge the debt in detail appears discourteous and ungrateful; and not to give chapter and verse jars also upon the historical conscience. I can only say that, very gratefully, J'az' prir 772072 bien oz} je l'ai trozwe', whether in the forty odd volumes of the Oxford His torical Society, the twenty volumes of the College Histories, the accurate and erudite monographs of Dr Rashdall (mediaeval Universities and Sir Henry Maxwell Lyte (history of the University of Oxford to the year or innumerable other works. Where so much has been so well done by others in the way of dealing with periods and sections of my whole subject, my chief business has been to read, mark, digest, and then to arrange my story. But to do that thoroughly has been no light task. Whether it be well done or ill-done, the story now told has the great merit of providing an occasion, excuse was never needed.

Download or read book The Oxford Gazetteer written by Thomas Strahan Shenston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oxford Gazetteer: Containing a Complete History of the County of Oxford, From Its First Settlement; Together With a Full Abstract of Each Census, Carefully Copied From the Original Abstracts; To Which Is Added a Map of the County Although the Census of the County of Oxford has been taken at four different periods, and, with the exception Of the last, at a great expense to the County, no abstracts Of them have been published, for the information of those, at whose cost and expense they were taken, with the exception of very brief ones in almanacs, which only stated the number of inhabitants and a few matters appertaining to the County as a whole. But brief and meagre as was this information, since the recent topo'graphical change Of the County, these abstracts have become valueless, and should, from any cause, the solitary abstracts from these censuses, which are now in the Office of the Clerk of the Peace for this County, be lost or destroyed by fire or other casualties, there would be no possibility Of replacing them. This would be a most serious loss not only to the present, but to all future genera tions, for I am informed that the copies Of the abstracts which were filed in the Offices of Government were destroyed by the Vandalism of a Montreal mob in 1849. Having in my possession, as Census Commissioner, the entire Census of 1852, and the abstracts of the former ones being most kindly placed at my disposal by the Clerk of the Peace, and being, as an inhabitant, very much gratified at the rapid and uniform growth and improvement of the County and every municipality in it, I was induced to put them together in the form in which they now appear in this work, trusting the inhabitants of the County of Oxford, whose interest I have had in view, will not allow me to lose any thing more than my time and trouble, which I assure them has not been trifling. For most of the additional information, I am chiefly indebted to hon. F. Hrcs, M. P. P. For the County, james ingersoll, Esq, Regis trar County of Oxford, J. B. Askin, Esq, Clerk Of the Peace, County of Middlesex, col. G. W. Whitehead, of Woodstock, and the several Township Clerks; to all whom I take this method of returning my best thanks for the valuable assistance they have thus rendered me, in enabling me to obtain my information from the best and most authentic sources.
