A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The self-imposed labour of research and writing which the book represents has occupied the leisure hours of upwards of four years. It has been a labour of love; the result, however, would never have been obtained but for the kind help, encouragement, and advice, which have been so readily given by many old residents, and others, in Eltham and elsewhere, interested in the study of local history. Special thanks are due toM r. F. W. Nunn, of Lee, aV ice-president of theW oolwich, and also the Greenwich, Antiquarian Society, not only for his personal assistance at theB ritish Museum Library, but for his long and patient labours in the field of photography. With the exception of the plates that have been kindly and specially lent by Messrs. Macmillan and Co., for the purpose of this book, nearly all the photographs, whether from old prints and pictures, or originals, are the production of his camera, and represent the work of more than a year. Grateful thanks are also accorded toD r. E. A. Baker, M.A., theB orough Librarian, and his Assistants at the Public Libraries of Eltham, Woolwich, and Plumstead, for their ready co-operation and advice in the use of the fine collection of Kentish records which theB orough possesses; toM iss Lewin, who has herself kept records of Eltham for the latter portion of the nineteenth century, for much valuable information ;to Miss Bloxam, for many facts regarding the Palace; toM rs. Dobell, for permission to photograph her copy of Hortus Elthamensis, for the use of her copies of theS herard Letters, and for other assistance; toM iss May, of A very Hill Training College, for her kind help in construing the old French poem ofF roissart referring toE ltham, and published now in English for the first time; toM iss Moore, who also has made studies of Eltham history, for kind criticism and assistance; toM iss Edith A nderson, also an ent

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.
