Excerpt from York The writer's chief regret, in bidding farewell to his book, is that the requirements, so far as space is con cerned, of this series of histories of towns forbid any thing like the treatment which such a subject as York' ought properly to receive. He is painfully conscious of this in every page, but especially in the Third Part - the history of the Municipality and City Which requires more space and greater elaboration than can be given.
