The Rev. Joseph Hunter's History of Hallamshire and Hunter's History of the Deanery of Doncaster, are necessarily the groundwork his torically of this volume, as of every history of Sheffield and the adjacent parts of Yorkshire. Among other works from which information has been obtained, are Wharncliffe, and other sketches by the late John Holland; Reminiscences of Old Sheffield, by Mr. R. E. Leader; the Journal of the British Archaological Society, several interesting quotations fromthe contributions of members of that association being acknow ledged; the Manufacture of Steel, by Mr. Henry Seebohm; Pilkington's History of North Derbyshire; Chatsworth and Haddon, by Mr. S. C. Hall and Mr. Llewellyn Jewitt, f.s.a Reminiscences of Rotherham and the neighbourhood, by Mr. John Guest; Worksop and the Dukery, by Mr. Robert White, &c., &c. For facts embodied in the chapters on Ancient Earthworks and Manor Lodge, and for other valuable information personally communicated, the Editor is indebted to Mr. J. D. Leader. In these and other parts of the Guide many new facts will be found. All the facts within the range of personal enquiry have been carefully verified; and pains have been taken to render the volume accurate and trustworthy. The work has been arranged with a view to completeness of parts and facility of reference, and will prove, it is hoped, a convenient, interesting.
