OLD CHURCH LORE.
_WORKS BY WILLIAM ANDREWS, F.R.H.S._
Mr. William Andrews has produced several books of singular value in their
historical and archaeological character. He has a genius for digging among
dusty parchments and old books, and for bringing out from among them that
which it is likely the public of to-day will care to read.--_Scotsman._
Old-Time Punishments.
This is an entertaining book ... well-chosen illustrations and a
serviceable index.--_Athenaeum._
A work which will be eagerly read by all who take it up.--_Scotsman._
A vast amount of curious and entertaining matter.--_Sheffield
Independent._
We can honestly recommend a perusal of this book.--_Yorkshire Post._
A very readable history.--_Birmingham Daily Gazette._
Mr. Andrews' book is well worthy of careful study, and is a perfect mine
of wealth on the subject of which it treats.--_Herts Advertiser._
Curiosities of the Church.
A volume both entertaining and instructive, throwing much light on the
manners and customs of bygone generations of Churchmen, and will be read
to-day with much interest.--_Newbery House Magazine._
An extremely interesting volume.--_North British Daily Mail._
A work of lasting interest.--_Hull Examiner._
Full of interest.--_The Globe._
The reader will find much in this book to interest, instruct, and
amuse.--_Home Chimes._
We feel sure that many will feel grateful to Mr. Andrews for having
produced such an interesting book.--_The Antiquary._
Historic Yorkshire.
Cuthbert Bede, the popular author of "Verdant Green," writing to
_Society_, says: "Historic Yorkshire," by William Andrews, will be of
great interest and value to everyone connected with England's largest
county. Mr. Andrews not only writes with due enthusiasm for his subject,
but has arranged and marshalled his facts and figures with great skill,
and produced a thoroughly popular work that will be read eagerly and with
advantage.
Historic Romance.
STRANGE STORIES, CHARACTERS, SCENES, MYSTERIES, AND MEMORABLE EVENTS
IN THE HISTORY OF OLD ENGLAND.
In his present work Mr. Andrews has traversed a wider field than in his
last book, "Historic Yorkshire," but it is marked by the same painstaking
care for accuracy, and also by the pleasant way in which he popularises
strange stories and out-of-the-way scenes in English History. There is
much to amuse in this volume, as well as to instruct, and it is enriched
with a copious index.--_Notes and Queries._
A fascinating work.--_Whitehall Review._
Famous Frosts and Frost Fairs in Great Britain.
CHRONICLED FROM THE EARLIEST TO THE PRESENT TIME.
