Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles Round Horton: Historical, Topographical, and Descriptive The Author would fain hope that no apology is needed for the publication of "Rambles Round Horton," albeit the interest of the volume is of a comparatively limited character. Works of this nature form the basis of local history, treating; as they do of things great and small. It may be that many of the items included appear insignificant, but from the historians standpoint they add completeness to the whole, and are therefore deserving of notice. Under any circumstances the Author had no alternative but to issue the present work, such was the amount of interest evoked by the publication of the "Rambles" in the columns of the Bradford Observer. In bringing them before the public in the present form, he trusts that his patrons will not be dissatisfied with the result. No effort has been spared to secure accuracy, although it is obvious that accuracy cannot always be obtained even with the best intentions. The Author has to acknowledge his indebtedness to many friends for the facilities they have afforded him for obtaining information; to his former coadjutor, Mr. W. G. Hird, for his kind assistance in the tedious task of indicing; and to his numerous subscribers, without whose support the work could not have been undertaken. The Author purposes to continue his rambles round the townships forming the Borough of Bradford, and to publish the account thereof uniform with the present volume, should this literary venture meet with favour.
