Excerpt from Old Yorkshire The completion of the third volume of Old Yorkshire again gives me pleasant occasion to express my earnest thanks to both contributors and subscribers for the generous help they have given me. With this help I trust that I have been enabled to produce a volume containing much valuable matter, which will, I hope, find permanence through its pages. Many of the original papers are on subjects of interest to antiquaries generally, to Yorkshiremen especially, and of historical value and importance. These have been contributed by writers of known ability, whose researches are evidenced by the array of facts to be found in their contributions.
