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.

This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Town of Burford, Oxfordshire The compilation of a local History is always one involving much labour and research, but especially so when the in habitants of the Town that is the subject of it do not possess any Antiquarian taste and are unable to render the requisite information. The Author of this small Work has felt this difficulty and discouragement, yet he has spared neither toil nor zeal in collecting materials, and if they are more scanty than he or his Readers could have desired it must be attributed to the cause above alluded to. Important documents relating to the Church-property and Town Charities* in the posses sion of thomas cheatle, Esq, have been unreservedly placed at his disposal, and to that gentleman he returns his grateful thanks for the privilege so kindly accorded. He also begs to offer his sincere thanks to W. R. Cooke, Esq, for his liberality in presenting two Illustrations to the Work, and to five other kind friends for their contributions towards other Illustrations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Oxfordshire Parishes: A History of Kidlington, Yarnton and Begbroke The History of the three parishes of Kidlington, Yarnton and Begbroke, now put before the public, is the result of several years of thought and research, undertaken in the hope of interesting others in a work which has given much genuine pleasure to the author. This part of Oxfordshire is happy in its associations, whether in regard to the general history of our country, in its connexion with the wealthiest abbeys of the kingdom, its contiguity to the several royal residences in the neighbourhood, or in its vicinity to the University of Oxford. From each of these points of view much interest may arise; and from the whole, when brought together, the aspect of our villages may derive an importance little thought of by the casual passer-by. The authorities and sources of information from which these notes have been compiled are fully acknowledged in the text; but to the living references, who have so kindly and ungrudgingly given their help, the author most gratefully offers her thanks.

Download or read book The Place Names of Oxfordshire written by Henry Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Place-Names of Oxfordshire: Their Origin and Development This study of the Place-Names of Oxfordshire was originally a dissertation in the School of English Language of the University of Liverpool. It has since been entirely revised and largely rewritten for the purposes of publication. I have throughout had the very generous help of Professor H. C. Wyld, who has also been kind enough to read through the proofs. I wish to take this opportunity to express my indebtedness and gratitude to Professor Wyld for his stimulating instruction, both in the wider field of English studies and in the special domain of place-name research. To Professor Moorman, of Leeds, and to Dr. Mutschmann, of Nottingham, I am indebted for several suggestions as to etymologies. Many Oxfordshire clergymen have assisted by answering inquiries about pronunciations and other local matters. Finally, I have to thank Dr. Henry Bradley, who with great kindness read through the proofs and a portion of the manuscript. The book owes to his learning and insight many emendations and suggestions of the highest value. For any errors that may remain the writer alone is responsible.

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.
