A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

History of Gilds (then being published monthly in THE ANTIQUARIAN Magazine) was in a very forward state; and I consulted Miss Toulmin Smith, with a view to obtaining her valuable assistance towards the completion of the work. I was, however, reluctantly obliged to abandon this idea, in order to complete, if possible, two still more important works viz., the Insurance Cyclopaedia and the History of Periodical Literature, on which the author had spent a vast amount of labour and research, extending over (I think) the last twenty years of his life. Eventually I decided, with the help of my husbands cousin, Mr. Edward Walford, in whose Magazine, as before stated, the enlarged reprint of Gilds was being published, to finish the work from the material which I had in hand, with as little alteration or addition as possible. This has now been done, and these few words of explanation must be my apology for the somewhat abrupt conclusion of the work. The last Chapter written entirely by my husband contained the completion of the Gilds of Somerset Chapter XLII, I should like also to state here that there still remains in my hands much interesting matter relating to foreign and religious Gilds, which my husband intended for a separate work; and as he had not commenced to lay down his own views, but had only collected the raw material, I have not thought it well to introduce any of it into the present work, though I may seek an opportunity in the future to publish it.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
