FAMOUS FROSTS AND FROST FAIRS IN GREAT BRITAIN.
Chronicled from the Earliest to the Present Time.
By WILLIAM ANDREWS, F.R.H.S.,
AUTHOR OF "CURIOSITIES OF THE CHURCH," "OLD-TIME PUNISHMENTS," ETC.
Only 400 copies printed, each copy numbered, and only 50 remain on
sale. Three curious full-page illustrations.
This work furnishes a carefully prepared account of all the great
Frosts occurring in this country from A.D. 134 to 1887. The numerous
Frost Fairs on the Thames are fully described, and illustrated with
quaint woodcuts, and several old ballads relating to the subject are
reproduced. It is tastefully printed and elegantly bound.
_The following are a few of the many favourable reviews of "Famous
Frosts and Frost Fairs."_
"The work is thoroughly well written, it is careful in its
facts, and may be pronounced exhaustive on the subject.
Illustrations are given of several frost fairs on the Thames,
and as a trustworthy record this volume should be in every good
library. The usefulness of the work is much enhanced by a good
index."--_Public Opinion._
"The book is beautifully got up."--_Barnsley Independent._
"A very interesting volume."--_Northern Daily Telegraph._
"A great deal of curious and valuable information is contained
in these pages.... A comely volume."--_Literary World._
"The work from first to last is a most attractive one, and the
arts alike of printer and binder have been brought into one to
give it a pleasing form."--_Wakefield Free Press._
"An interesting and valuable work."--_West Middlesex Times._
"Not likely to fail in interest."--_Manchester Guardian._
"This chronology has been a task demanding extensive research
and considerable labour and patience, and Mr. Andrews is to be
heartily congratulated on the result."--_Derby Daily Gazette._
"A volume of much interest and great importance."--_Rotherham
Advertiser._
