Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Account of the Barony and Town of Okehampton: Its Antiquities and Institutions In the following pages will be found an abundance of material of a very interesting character, comprising almost everything that can be said relative to the history of the town and barony of Okehampton, yet hardly to be designated a History in the ordinary acceptation of that term. It will be noticed that the original compilers styled the work Some account of the Barony and Town, but so much has been added to their work by successive, if not successful, hands that it might now be more appropriately named Collections towards a history of Okehampton. The work was originally published in parts, about the year 1839, and printed by G. P. Bearder, of Plymouth, but was never completed, only three parts, comprising rrz pages being issued, and the views promised with each of the parts saw not the light. In the present work, the editor has retained the original form and arrangement of the book, having carefully transcribed all the notes and additions made by the Rev. H. G. Fothergill and others, and revised, as carefully as circumstances would permit, the whole of the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
