Excerpt from A History of Longridge and DistrictAlthough giving its name to this book, it must he confessed that Longridge is noted not so much for its own history, or for what it contains in itself, but rather for the beautiful scenery, antiquarian history, and objects of interest which abound in its immediate vicinity. Nevertheless, in spite of the somewhat meagre history which attaches to it, I am sure that the gentle reader who accompanies me through the pages of this little work will be amply repaid for his trouble, and will thereby have added somewhat to his store of knowledge of this part of Lancashire. The writer claims no special qualifications for undertaking this task indeed, he has keenly felt his many shortcomings, but, at any rate, he can say that he has care fully and faithfully read everything relating to the subject he could possibly find and that be has moreover brought to this labour which has been truly a labour of love - ah impartial, but an enthusiastic mind withal.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
