Excerpt from Westminster: A Historical Sketch Criticism will, I suppose, rightly be directed towards the relative ~interest of what has been included with that Of the innumerable but inevitable omissions. I can only claim that much that has been left out may be read elsewhere and that much that is included is now set forth for the first time as the outcome of a more extended research than the results might seem to indicate. These results can form but a sketch. My pen has run on in somewhat desultory fashion and here and there has trespassed beyond chronological limits deliberately set, in order to avoid that disconnection which such limits sometimes cause. For the making of this book many hundreds Of documents have been consulted and some books. Of the latter a list is appended but I feel no special debt to any save the invaluable works Of Mr. J. E. Smith and in a lesser degree to London Past and Present. Canon Sheppard would have laid me under a deeper Obligation had I had more Space to devote to that special aspect of Westminster History which he has made peculiarly his own.
