Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronicles of the Abbey of Elstow This little work world never have been undertaken, had it not been proposed to me that I should re-cast and amplify some rough notes on the subject, which I compiled some time since, with the view that the profits, if any, of their publication should be, in some way, devoted to the adornment of the venerable Church of Elstow, which has recently been restored, mainly at the expense of Mr. Whitbread. In preparing it I have had two objects in view, namely to produce a book, which should be [1] of some, even if that some be little, historical value, and [2] sufficiently readable to interest those who may take it up. How far I have succeeded, it is for others, not myself, to judge. Beyond this I have nothing to say as regards my own part therein, but I have a heavy obligation to acknowledge to others for the assistance which they have given me.
