Opinions of the Press.
_The following are extracted from a number of favourable reviews of_
"YORKSHIRE IN THE OLDEN TIMES."
The _Bury Free Press_ says: "The volume is one of wide and varied
interest, which will secure for it readers in all parts of the
country."
The _Shields Daily Gazette_ states: "The work consists of a series of
articles contributed by various authors, and it thus has the merit of
bringing together much special knowledge from a great number of
sources. It is an entertaining volume, full of interest for the
general reader, as well as for the learned and curious."
The _Hornsea Gazette_ concludes its notice by saying: "The work is one
which cannot fail to instruct and entertain the reader."
It is pronounced by the _Hull Examiner_ "a most readable and
well-bound volume."
Says the _Malton Gazette_: "Unlike many books akin to it, this work
contains nothing not of permanent and exclusive worth, and Mr.
Andrews' latest book is one which the future historian of the shire of
many acres will be glad to avail himself of."
The _Christian Leader_ finishes a long and favourable review as
follows: "The volume is one of diversified interest, likely to find
readers in other parts of the country as well as in the great province
to which it has particular reference."
_The Edition is limited to 400 copies, and only a few remain on sale._
_An early application for copies necessary._

This work furnishes a carefully prepared account of all the great Frosts

on the Thames are fully described, and illustrated with quaint woodcuts,
and several old ballads relating to the subject are reproduced. It is
