Excerpt from The North Riding of Yorkshire A word of apology is possibly needed for the free introduction of references. These serve, it is hoped, a double purpose. In the first place they discriminate, more or less completely, between statements for which the writer is primarily Ie sponsible, and statements that are made on the authority of others. In the second place, they constitute a useful index to the numerous papers and notices dealing with the Riding that are scat tered up and down in a number of volumes. The procedure is not without precedent, and, anyhow, it is hoped that its practical convenience may re deem it from any charge of pedantry to which it might otherwise seem open. Lastly, the thanks of the writer are due to Mr St John Hope f0. Permission to introduce the plans ofjervaulx and Easby Abbeys, to Mr William Brown and the Yorkshire Archaeological Society for the plan of Mount Grace Priory, to Messrs Love and Malcomson for the plans of Pickering and Scarbrough Castles, to the Rev. A. R. T. Eales, m.a., and Mr F. C. Bayard, for the loan of books of reference, and to the clergy of the Riding for the consistent kindness with which they have assisted him in the work of exploration.
