Description
Excerpt from Yorkshire Oddities, Incidents, and Strange Events, Vol. 1
A residence of many years in Yorkshire, and an inveterate habit of collecting all kinds of odd and out-of-the-way information con cerning men and matters, furnished me, when I left Yorkshire in 1872, with a large amount of material, collected in that county, relating to its eccentric children.
A friend, when he heard that I was col leeting such material, exclaimed, What are you about? Every other Yorkshireman is a character! Such is the case. No other county produces so much originality - and that originality, when carried to excess, is eccentricity.
