Derbyshire is rich in historical associations of an out-of-the-way character. In the pages of "Bygone Derbyshire" are presented in a readable, and at the same time in a scholar-like style, papers, profusely illustrated, bearing on such subjects as the history of the county, ancient castles, monumental brasses, gleanings from parochial records, old church lore, family romance, traditions, curious customs, witchcraft, well-dressing, old-time sports, etc., etc.

THE MONUMENTAL BRASSES OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE.

With some Account of the Persons Represented.

PRESS OPINIONS.

"Messrs. William Andrews & Co., of Hull" , "seem to be producing some handsome antiquarian books. The latest that has come to me is an account of 'The Monumental Brasses of Lancashire and Cheshire,' by Mr. James L. Thornely. Brass-rubbing is a most fascinating enthusiasm. 'Wouldst thou know the beauty of holiness?' asks Lamb. 'Go alone on some week-day, borrowing the keys of good Master Sexton, traverse the cool aisles of some country church.' Those cool aisles are the workshop of the brass-rubber. While he kneels over his spread sheet of paper, and diligently plies his 'heel-ball,' the afternoon lights dapple the old stones, and country sounds and scents steal in to keep him company at his solitary task. You see I also have been in Arcady. Mr. Thornely is not only interested in his subject himself, but he has the gift of imparting his interest to others. His accounts of his various brasses and the personages they commemorate are simple and clear, and marked by a literary touch too rare in the treatment of such themes."
