This interesting and valuable antiquarian work cost the enterprising publisher more than twenty years of undeviating labour and many thousand pounds.

What adds considerably to the value of the work, is that the letterpress gives extracts from parish registers and munimental documents not easily accessible elsewhere. 4333 WILLIAMSON (G. C.).
