Description
Excerpt from Lincoln: A Historical and Topographical Account of the City
Other men laboured, and ye have entered into their labours, is a text peculiarly applicable to any one who takes in hand a subject about which so much has been written, as that Of Lincoln and its Minster.
My best thanks, at all events, are particularly due to the Bodleian Library for access to the ancient chronicles mentioned in the dedication to the editors and publisher of Lincolnshire Notes and Queries, and to the writings Of my friend the late Precentor Venables, the late Bishop Trollope of Nottingham, and Canon Maddison. All the quotations from early historical writers, such as William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntingdon, and the like, are taken almost word for word from the translations in Bohn''s Antiquarian Library.
I have great pleasure in acknowledging Canon Harvey''s kind assistance in the chapter on Parish Churches.
