Excerpt from The Victoria History of the Counties of England, Vol. 2: RutlandFor it is the first to be published after the death of Dr. William Page.In his last years, desirous above all things to secure the future of the work which he had so long directed, he transferred the whole of his interests in the History, with all the materials in his possession, to the University of London, in order that the Institute of Historical Research might from that time onwards carry on to its appointed end the task which had claimed the greater part of his time and energy for more than thirty years.The History is his memorial. Whatever developments may be in store for it, his name will ever come first in its story, and it is fitting that this volume shall begin with a record of his life and work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
