Excerpt from General and Concise, History and Description of the Town and Port of Kingston-Upon-Hull
During the last quarter of the eighteenth century two Histories of Hull, in thick quarto volumes, by George Hadley, Esq., and the Rev. John Tickell, respectively, were published. Since the opening of the present century, the Town has been not only almost rebuilt, but it has been much more than doubled in size; and, notwithstanding this, I have ventured upon writing a history of the place - a condensed one of necessity - in a small volume of about 700 pages. How I have succeeded, my readers must determine. The narrow limits of the work obliged me to relinquish the higher functions of the historian, and to content myself with the simple part of the careful chronicler, recording little more than dry details of events of a remarkable character, and the facts connected with the origin and present state of the Town and its public institutions. For this reason I have seldom given expression to any opinion of my own.
The imperative necessity of accuracy, and the great labour and time involved in preparing the work for the press, has rendered its production somewhat tardy; but my Subscribers have been gainers by this, for the delay has afforded time to verify the correctness of almost every statement.
