Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Journal, 1879, Vol. 5: Published Under the Direction of the Council of the Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Association The following memoir on the ancient family of Wilson of Bromhead, by the late Reverend Joseph Hunter, was written by that distinguished antiquary in the year 1824. It appears to have been prepared by him in grateful acknow ledgment of the advantages he derived, from being permitted to have almost unlimited access to, and to make extracts from, the large and interesting collection of charters, mss., and other documents, collected by John Wilson, the possessor of Bromhead from 1735 to 1783. Appended will be found a. Memoir by Mr. Hunter on the collection, which he appears to have sorted, classified, and arranged in a clear and admi rable manner. From this latter memoir, it may be gathered that very important information would be gleaned from the various evidences in the collection, in reference not only to The History of Hallamshire, then recently published by the learned author, but also to South Yorkshire, on which, at a later date, he issued his two important volumes. The collection was sold in one lot in the year 1843 to a London bookseller, through whose hands it is believed to have passed to the late Sir Thomas Phillipps, Baronet, Middle Hill, Worcestershire.
