Sinopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Parish of Ribchester: In the County of Lancaster
And, finally, I have to express as best I can the sense of grati tude I feel to Thee. Dean, Esq., M.D., Burnley, the Rev. Jon. Shortt, the Rev. F. J. Dickson, the Very Rev. Monsignor R. Gradwell, and Mr. W. A. Abram. For months Mr. Dickson has allowed me the free range of his rectory for the purpose of transcribing the registers, etc., and has thus added materially to the accuracy of the transcripts, besides assisting me in numerous other ways. To Mgr. Gradwell I owe many derivations of place names, in addition to the ingenious and novel sketch on Early Christianity in Lancashire, which he has done me the honour to contribute. Mr. W. A. Abram has added most considerably to the fulness of the chapters on the Rectors and Old Families with a generosity not too common among local historians. Dr. Dean has placed at my disposal his unique collection of Townsley mss. With a considerateness I most gratefully acknowledge. Without these mss., it would have been almost impossible to have written a full and correct account of the early history of the parish, as, although Dr. Whitaker had access to the Townsley collection, he seems, in his chapter on Ribchester at any rate, to have made but a poor use of this unequalled material. My friend and collaborator, Mr. Shortt, with whom I have been in almost daily contact for the last six months, has not only written the most important part of this book, but has, also, in every possible way rendered me great assistance. The pleasure of the task of writing my portion of the book has been enhanced by this literary inter course with Mr. Shortt.
It is with feelings of gratitude and thankfulness (for serious illnesses have accompanied me during the greater portion of the time in which I have been engaged upon this work), mingled with much humility, that I present to the subscribers the fruits of the important trust reposed in me.

Excerpt from The History of the Parish of Ribchester: In the County of Lancaster
Athenaum early last year correctly iDterpreted the general feeling of antiquaries and others by saying 4 tis not a little remarkable that a place so abounding in antiquities (as Ribchester) has never hitherto bean treated of in a monograph. This feeling of surprise is deepened when we learn what a mine of material lay ready to the hand of the first earnest searcher. Accordingly the present writer, having secured the aid of the Rev. Jon. Shortt, the eminent authority on Roman Antiquities in Lancashire, has ventured to collect this mass of material, and scattered pieces of general information relating to the parish into one book. A vigorous search at the Record Office yielded magnificent results; the hitherto unpublished Towneley, Raines, and Piccope Mss. throw quite a new light upon the early history of the parish; numerous correspondents have contributed interesting notes on privata families; an intimate personal acquaintance (bom of a lifes study) with local field and house names, has, it is hoped, explained some obscure points; and an humble attempt to reach the high standard set up by such historians as the Rev. J.Charles Cox, LL.D., author of The Collegiate Church of All Saints, Berhy, the Rev. Charles Keriy, author of St, Lawrences, Reading, and Mr. W.A. Abram, F.R.H.S., author of the History of Blackburn, may possibly be traced in the present work.
It is not necessary here to draw particular attention to the many difficulties which have been removed, the many puzzles solved, and the very many mistakes which have been rectified by means of original documents. The reader will note them for himself.
