Opinions of the Press.
"A remarkably handsome volume, typographically equal to the best
productions of any European capital."--_North British Daily Mail._
"A handsome book. It is extremely interesting, and is a work which
cannot fail to find a permanent place amongst the best books devoted
to the history of the county. The military history of Yorkshire is
very closely investigated in this work. Although the book is written
in a clear and picturesque style, great care and attention have been
given to the researches of antiquaries and historians, and many
authorities have been consulted, in consequence of which, several
long-established errors have been corrected, and some oft-repeated but
superficial conclusions confuted. Special attention has been given to
the military history of the county during the great rebellion--a
subject which has yet to be fairly and intelligently treated by the
general historian. So far as the limits of the work permit, the
general history of the county, from epoch to epoch has been sketched,
maintaining the continuity of the work, and increasing its interest
and value both to the general reader and the specialist. The printers
of the book are Messrs. Wm. Andrews and Co., Hull, and it must be
regarded as a good specimen of local typography."--_Wakefield Free
Press._
"An important work."--_Beverley Independent._
"Does great credit to the new firm of book publishers."--_Yorkshire
County Magazine._
"A beautifully printed volume."--_Halifax Courier._
"Mr. Lamplough's book is thoroughly readable, and is written in a
manly as well as a discriminating spirit."--_Yorkshire Post._
