The Sword Dances of Northern England

Excerpt from The Sword Dances of Northern England: Together With the Horn Dance of Abbots BromleyThe Author wishes to acknowledge the kindness and friendly help he has received from the dancers whose performances are described in this book, especially from Mr. T. Armstrong, the veteran Captain of the Earsdon team, and Messrs. Spence, Wragg and Harrison. The leaders respectively of the Earsdon, Grenoside, and Kirkby Malzeard dancers. He is also deeply indebted to Mrs. Eden, the Rev. Reginald and Mrs. Gatty, Dr. Michael Foster, Mr. J. E. Taylor, Mr. Parker Brewis, and Mr. W. Mill, and many others whose names are too numerous to mention, for the valuable and generous assistance they have, in one way or another, given him in the course of his investigations.To Mr. E. Phillips Barker the Author owes a large debt of gratitude, not only for reading the proofs and bringing a wide, practical knowledge to bear upon his criticisms of the technical portions of the book, but also for materially helping him in the writing of the Introduction, of which he is to be regarded as joint-author.Finally, he wishes to thank Mr. Ralph Hedley and the proprietors of the Newcastle Weekly Chronicle for permission to reproduce the former's picture in the frontis piece, to Mr. W. Mill and Mr. A. Parker for allowing him to print the photographs facing p. 46 and p. 105, and to Messrs. James Bacon and Sons (leeds and Newcastle) for permission to reproduce the photograph facing p. 51.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
