It is pronounced by the Hull Examiner “a most readable and well-bound volume.”
Note
Amongst Yorkshire Authors Mr. Frederick Ross occupies a leading place. For over sixty years he has been a close student of the history of his native county, and perhaps no author has written so much and well respecting it. His residence in London has enabled him to take advantage of the important stores of unpublished information contained in the British Museum, the Public Record Office, and in other places. He has also frequently visited Yorkshire to collect materials for his works. His new book is one of the most readable and instructive he has written. It will be observed from the following list of subjects that the work is of wide and varied interest, and makes a permanent contribution to Yorkshire literature.
