Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Boydell & Brewer are pleased to announce that as from 1
December 2001 they will be distributing the Victoria County
History, which has an international reputation as a work of
reference for English local history. Begun in 1899, the publication
of about three new volumes each year is gradually creating an
encyclopedic history of the counties, ranging from earliest times
to the present. For each county there is or is planned a set of
volumes, containing general chapters on subjects such as prehistory
and ecclesiastical and economic history, and topographical chapters
giving a comprehensive, fully referenced account of each city, town
and village in the county. Fourteen county sets have been
completed; work is in progress on a further thirteen.

The volume was published more than eighty years ago, and its
reissue makes available what is virtually an antiquarian book; it
is nevertheless a work of reference that in many respects has not
been replaced. Half the volume is devoted to Ecclesiastical History
and separate histories of the religious houses of the county,
numbering no less than 125 and including Lincoln cathedral and
Crowland abbey; several of those histories were written by Rose
Graham and the accounts of the seventeen friaries by A. G. Little.
The second half of the volume contains chapters on Political
History (by C. H. Vellacott), Social and Economic History
(including a table of population summarizing the first eleven
national censuses), Industries, Agriculture, Forestry, Endowed
Schools, and Sport.
