Excerpt from Calendar of the Records of the Country of DerbyN the summer of 1886, I was requested by Sir Henry Wilmot, Bart, as Chairman of Quarter Sessions, to edit the most valuable parts of the records of the county of Derby. To this labour of love the best part of the leisure of four years was gladly given, With tr 'eshi, that in the summer Of 1890 Messrs. Bemrose and St Limited, published two volumes entitled Three Centuries of Derbyshire Annals as illustrated by the records of the Quarter Sessions.In 1898 the Standing Joint Committee did me the honour of proposing that I Should superintend the arrange and cataloguing of the whole of the records down to the p. Sent time, and should also issue a supplemental volume containing a complete calendar and index. 1 following pages are the result of this commission.Though mainly intended as a work Of practical reference, and as an aid to insure the safety of the documents, this volume ought to prove of some interest to the occasional historical student, and of true value to the local inquirer into county economics.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
