Excerpt from The Danes in Lancashire and Yorkshire
The story of the 'childhood of our race' wh'o inhabited the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire before the Norman Conquest, is an almost blank page to the popular reader of to-day. The last invaders of our shores, whom we designate as the Danes and Norsemen, were not the least important of our ancestors. The History of their daring adventures, crafts and customs, beliefs and character, with the surviving traces in our language and laws, form the subject of this book.
From the evidence of relics, and of existing customs and traditions, we trace their thought and actions, their first steps in speech and handicraft, and the development of their religious conceptions. Our education authorities have realized the fact that Local Names contain a fund of history and meaning which appeals to the young as well as to the adults; and the county committees have been well advised to recommend the teaching of History and Geography from local features and events.
Some articles written by the late Mr. John Just, m.a., of Bury, on our early races, and elements of our language and dialect, formed the incentive to the writer to continue the story Of our Danish ancestors.
To the following writers we are indebted for many facts and quotations: H. Colley March, Esq., M.D W. G. Collingwood, Scandinavian Britain W. S.
