Manx Miscellanies, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Excerpt from Manx Miscellanies, Vol. 1

IN laying before the Members this first volume of Manx Miscellanies, the Council of the Manx Society have pleasure in announcing that materials are in preparation for a second; and they take this opportunity of inviting contributions from the Members and other persons interested in Antiquarian pursuits. They may repeat what they have already expressed in several of their Annual Reports, that nothing which tends to throw light on the habits, customs, and institutions of our race, can be uninteresting to those who make mankind their study. And they take this opportunity of stating to such Members as may possess Insular documents, such as wills, letters, material for elucidating topography, family or general history, that good service may be rendered to the future labourers in the fields of historical research by rescuing from oblivion materials hitherto buried in private collections, that each and all may find their appropriate places in these volumes.

Any persons desirous to further the objects which the Society propose in the publication of Miscellanies, are requested by the Council to entrust their contributions to the care of the Honorary Secretary, at his address, 49 Atholl Street, Douglas.
