Tracts Relating to Military Proceedings in Lancashire During the Great Civil War

George Ormerod

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It may be desirable to explain that the Object of publica tion regards tracts, and documents of that class, only, and that the following plan of arrangement has been adopted: The selection of Tracts has been limited to such as relate' to the proceedings of the Military, or the local Lieutenancy which directed them, to which explanatory notes have been added, with such extracts from contemporary journals or similar memorials as are requisite to connect the links of the story. To this mass of original documents a chrono logical table of local events is prefixed, to guide the reader through the labyrinth of details; and two Indexes are added: the first, or biographical Index, is constructed with a view to the identification of the person and family of each individual of local consideration; and the second, so as to enable the reader to follow, at once, the whole series of events here recorded, relating to each place or person. A chronological arrangement has been adopted, with the exception of two Tracts, by N. Barnet and Col. Rosworm, placed otherwise for reasons stated elsewhere; and all the Tracts which the Editor possessed in transcript Only, have been collated anew with the original printed copies.
