Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Town and Township of Barnsley, in Yorkshire, From an Early Period AN eminent writer* on parochial antiquities, in Preface. Alluding to these studies, says, I am sensible there be some Who despise this kind of learning, and represent it as dry, barren, and monkish. I leave such to their dear enjoyments of ignorance and ease, but I dare assure any Wise and sober man, that historical antiquities, and especially a search into the notices of our own nation, do deserve and will reward the pains of any Eng lish student; Will make him understand the state of former ages, the constitution of governments, the fundamental reasons of equity and law, the rise and succession of doctrines and opinions, the original of ancient and the composition of modern tongues, the tenures of property, the maxims of 'policy, the rites of religion, the cha racters of Virtue and Vice, and indeed the nature of mankind.
