Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Lincoln: Containing an Account of the Antiquities, Edifices, Trade, and Customs of That Ancient City; An Introductory Sketch of the County Originality in a work like the present cannot be looked for, but it is hoped, that the accuracy and information it has been the endeavour to impart, will be acknowledged by those most competent to decide. A concise and yet sufficiently explanatory compilation, was all in the Author's power, and those who derive their pleasure or profit from the City or County in question, will find it interesting from such circumstances, while the lovers of the remains of ancient architectural magnificence, will read the descriptions of the numerous vestiges in this venerable town, with that delight and enthusiasm seldom felt by those who daily witness them. Local history can have few attractions for the general reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
