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._
