Excerpt from Forty Years' Researches in British and Saxon Burial Mounds of East Yorkshire: Including Romano-British Discoveries, and a Description of the Ancient Entrenchments on a Section of the Yorkshire WorldsThis work, and the discoveries it makes known, have been the occupation of my leisure hours during the period of a busy commercial life, ranging from 1860 to the present time, and carried, on under many difficulties and obstacles. As I possess no claim to any literary attainments, having had in my youth no higher training than that obtainable from a village school, while I was often in delicate health, thus interfering with the benefit I might have otherwise received from the crude and scanty instruction afforded by those primitive seats of learning, I must ask the kind indulgence of my readers in perusing the records now placed before them My intention being rather to supply information to the antiquary than to gratify the. Taste of the general reader, much descriptive repetition has been rendered unavoidable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
