Excerpt from Scenes of Rural Life in Hampshire: Among the Manors of BramshottAT the close of a long period of ministerial work in Bramshott, the author has gathered up some memories of the past which may perhaps interest the friends from Whom he has to part, as also possibly some others of a wider circle, who may care for illustrations of varied phases of rural life in England. Evidences for what is written in the text are given in the Appendices and Notes, but with a sparing hand, for often statements have been made after much study of family papers and of other local records, without the dry-as-dust details of references which might repel all but resolute readers with robust appetite for bristling facts.It may be well to add that obvious inconsistencies in the spelling of personal and place names are not due to the vagaries of the writer or the printer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
