Chronicles of the Abbey of Elstow
Excerpt from Chronicles of the Abbey of Elstow
In preparing it I have had two objects in view, namely to produce a book, Which should be [i] of some, even if that some be little, historical value, and [2] sufficiently readable to interest those who may take it up. How far I have succeeded, it is for others, not myself, to judge. Beyond this I have nothing to say its regards my own part therein, but I have a heavy obligation to acknow ledge to others for the assistance Which they have given me. To Mr. James parker, of Oxford, I, am indebted, not only for the general plan of the book, but for time and trouble freely spent, both in shewing me how to make use of the material which I had collected, and in searching for more.
