Excerpt from A Dissertation on Ancient Bridges and Bridge Chapels, and Especially That Remarkable Edifice on Wakefield Bridge, Commonly, but Erroneously, Called the Chapel of Edward the Fourth
IN past ages of the world, as well as in the present, so many people have made pretensions to taste, upon antiq rian subjects, and so few have possessed the enterprise, and patience, and perseverance, of a real antiquary; so many have depended upon the reports of others, and so few have travelled, and seen, and examined for themselves; and the mistakes committed are, consequently, so frequent, that of all other persons, the antiquary has the mastoc sion to be suspicious and mistrustful in the prosecution of his studies.
