Excerpt from Directory of the Borough of Chester, for the Years 1859-60: Containing a Concise History of the Borough From Its First Settlement to the Present Time, The Names of All the Inhabitants, Alphabetically Arranged, Their Occupations, Places of Business, and Dwelling Houses, A List of the Streets of the Borough, StatistIn presenting to the people of Chester its History and Directory, the author is fully aware of the failure to arrive at perfect accuracy of detail. As it regards the History, he has only attempted its narration. A perfect History of the Borough, embracing varied, and wide ranges of interest, would require time, care, long and thorough research, such as none but an enthusiastic antiquarian would undertake. He can only hope that in pioneering the way, he may induce some one of much better investigating and literary ability to carry out to its proper completion the labor that is only begun.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
