Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Mystery of the Scarborough Lancasterian Schools, First Established in 1810: Including Correspondence With Dr. Murray the President, the Rev. G. B. Kidd the Messrs. Rowntree, and Many Others; Respectfully Dedicated to the Mayor and Magistrates of the Borough of Scarborough Historical Notices of Public Institutions are seldom under taken except by persons who have held certain official stations, or have obtained unrestricted access to the authorities upon which to found the superstructure they propose to erect. Those of a more circumscribed and limited character, which compared with the former, may properly be designated local or district institutions, have seldom any other memorial than their own periodical Reports furnish; and these, if not duly methodised and condensed, are more or less ephemeral and illusory in their general connexion and bearing, and often feeble and fluctuating in their tendency and effect. Some productions of the former kind exhibit splendid specimens of talent, and of exemplary assiduity and research; such as the History of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and that of the London Missionary Society, besides many others, in great variety; but of the latter, they are comparatively few and far between, and the reason probably may be, that they generally partake more of a confined and systematic character, and consist chiefly in the ordinary routine of dry detail, as the same appears in the summary of the Annual Reports of their proceedings.
