Excerpt from The Great Days of Northumbria: Three Lectures Two of the lectures here printed were delivered in an abridged form at the Annual Meeting of Cambridge University Extension students held at York in August of 1910. They are published in response to the re peated request of some who heard them. A third lecture has been added, that this general survey of a large subject may be somewhat less incomplete. The aim of these lectures is a simple one to discuss, without pedantry, in terms intelli' gible to the plain man, and yet at the same time, so far as is permitted by their original plan and object, with strict regard to historic accuracy both in perspective and in detail, a period of our national story all too short indeed, but full of picturesqueness and rom ance, illustrated by many noble personalities.
