Excerpt from Historic Sites of Lancashire and Cheshire: A Wayfarer's Notes in the Palatine Counties, Historical, Legendary, Genealogical and Descriptive

Occurrences recorded, the Author's purpose having been rather to combine with well-attested facts, topographical description, personal narrative and local legend, and to snatch from Obhvion's spoils the shadowy fragments of tradition that have floated down through centuries of time - things that the ordinary historian casts aside as unworthy Of his notice, but which, though oftentimes inexact in detail, are generally founded upon a substratum of fact, and tend therefore to throw additional light on human thought and action in the past.
