Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the County Palatine of Durham, Vol. 3 From an unfortunate misapprehension of the tenor of Mr Raine's letter to me of the 4th of October, 1793, in the advertisement I published, informing my subscribers, that by the decision the property of the work, and the impression which remained undisposed of, were become solely mine, I was led to assert that the unreceived subscription monies were mine for which error I have to beg pardon of the public, it being the arbitrator's intention, that all books delivered by Mr Hodgson previous to the 18th day of October, 1793, should be paid for to him, and that money to be his property. I should not have troubled my subscribers and the public with so prolix a statement of facts, but to remove any injurious prejudices, with which their minds might be impressed by re ports; and I flatter myself they will be convinced, that I was really more than the reputed author of the work; and that the delay in the publication did not proceed from me, or had my countenance or assent. Every endeavour that I could possibly exert was used to prevent the unfortunate suits in which I was engaged; and thence proceeded the voluntary undertaking I made, for pay ment of such expenses as should attend the printing of that part of the work which might overrun the two volumes.
