PRESS OPINIONS. “Mr. Wm. Stevenson, of several of whose previous works Nottingham and the shire have formed the bases, adds to the list an exceedingly interesting and useful book on the county, under the title of ‘Bygone Nottinghamshire,’ illustrated by a large number of engravings from photographs, old prints, and other sources. The writer’s aim has been to incorporate much information beyond the reach of ordinary students on the past history of the county, and thereby to prove the shire is, as he believes, rich beyond comparison in ancient lore.... A most pleasant addition to local history.”—_Nottingham Daily Guardian._ “We welcome Mr. Stevenson’s book as a useful addition to the literature of the county.”—_Newark Advertiser._ “This recent volume of Messrs. Andrews and Company’s series of ‘Bygones’ is a treasure to _bona-fide_ students of Nottinghamshire history. The compilation of the whole book is solely the work of Mr. W. Stevenson, an ardent and original student of local history as now accepted. The book is well illustrated, the maps and plans being most valuable.... We have not space to do full justice to ‘Bygone Nottinghamshire,’ but in heartily commending it to all readers, we may say that if judged by the mean standard of quantity alone it is good value for money; but it is more than that, for besides being a popular work, it is also an original one—an exceedingly unusual combination.”—_Notts and Derbyshire Notes and Queries._ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ +_Bound in cloth gilt, demy 8vo., price 7s. 6d._+ Only 500 copies printed, and each copy numbered.
