Excerpt from The Story of Royal Windsor This Story of Royal Windsor would probably never have been written had it not been for a public utterance by the Vicar of Windsor-the Rev. J. H. J. Ellison. Preaching before the Mayor and Corporation some months ago, he spoke of Windsor Castle as "more widely known than any other building in the world. Men living far away have been familiar with its outline from their earliest years. The picture of Windsor Castle hangs on the walls of their farms and ranches out on the South African veldt, or the back blocks of Australia, and when they come home to England, Windsor Castle is one of the places they must see." The Vicar endeavoured to convince those who belong to the Royal Borough of the necessity of promoting a sense of patriotism, and in the minds of the youth of the town and county particularly. Thousands visit the place, coming from every quarter of the world, and these should be shown "a population proud of the history of the town, and looking upon itself as the custodian of one of the central shrines of the British Empire." Then came the suggestion that "a place is waiting .... for the man who shall write a simple history of the town suitable for use as a reading book in our Elementary Schools."
