Synopsis

Excerpt from How to Write the History of a Parish: An Outline Guide to Topographical, Records, Manuscripts, and Books

Those Who have been engaged in any literary work are well aware how large a portion of time is often spent in merely learning the titles and somewhat of the contents of those books that treat of the different branches of the subject selected. Various books connected with parochial history, especially those that have been proved by experience to be the best handbooks, are therefore mentioned in these pages to facilitate reference. Space only has prevented me from considerably adding both to their number and description, but any further knowledge that I may have gleaned on topographical literature is heartily at the disposal of any worker who may privately apply to me. [this offer is now withdrawn through lack of time, 1909.

Product Description

Excerpt from How to Write the History of a Parish: An Outline Guide to Topographical, Records, Manuscripts, and Books Some of the clergy of the diocese of Lincoln are responsible for the issue of this booklet. A much-needed county history of Lincolnshire is now being projected, upon the basis of separate parochial histories. A circular put forth in one of the rural deaneries was good enough to refer in laudatory terms to the introduction to the first volume of my "Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire." This led to my being asked to republish that introduction; but it applied so peculiarly to Derbyshire that I felt it would be of small avail to those outside the county. Hence I decided to put together some hints that might prove a help to those who may be desirous of undertaking parochial history in any part of the kingdom, whether manorial, ecclesiastical, or both.
