A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

My only reason for publishing these notes is the pressure of my numerous friends, who have very likely been mistaken in their worth and value. Wlien I pleaded that the- had no merit, were of no importance, and could not possibly interest anyone outside Slaitlnvaite, they said I must leave them to judge, and for the sake of old times let them have a chance of preserving in book form this little record of local history, so that they may look at it now and again, in order to compare the past with the present, and mark time in this fast growing district. In this sense alone have I consented to their publication ;and knowing how poor and defective they are, I must ask the indulgent reader to pardon all the mistakes, to forgive all the weaknesses, and to accept them as a tribute of love towards this smiling valley, the happy place of my birth, the joy of my living, and when I have done be taken to this land of rest beneath the trees of its lovely vale. JOHN SUGDEN. HunDERSFIELD, A ugust, 1902. T he author is very grateful for the few kind letters inserted and for some of the illustrations so graciously conceded, but he alone is responsible for the opinions frequently expressed, and which have no pretence to be infallible.
