The Hermits And Anchorites Of England PDF Download

Excerpt from The Hermits and Anchorites of England I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to all those who have rendered assistance in the preparation of this volume, by the supply of materials, and the loan of manuscripts, books, engravings, and photographs. Particular mention must be made of Miss M.Leaf, who has kindly permitted her drawings of the "Prick of Conscience" window to be reproduced. The valued help of a large number of correspondents and helpers can of necessity only be acknowledged privately, but I should like to name Canon C.W. Foster, Mr. E.L. Guilford, Mr. H.B. McCall, Mr. W. Brown, Mr. J.W. Clay, Mr. A.G. Little, Rev. C.H. Evelyn-White, Canon Wilson, Rev. Dr. Wilson, Rev. B. Zimmerman, Canon Deedes, and Mr. W. Farrar. Mr. W. Rye, of Lammas, generously granted me access to his Norfolk MSS., especially to Mr. John L'Estrange's transcripts of wills from the Norwich Registers. Canon Wordsworth, Rev. R.M. Serjeantson, and Rev. H. Salter freely placed at my disposal notes relating to Wiltshire, Northamptonshire, and Oxfordshire; and to other good offices Mr. Salter has added that of proof-reading. To Rev. Dr. J.C. Cox I owe much, both in planning and carrying out this book. In conclusion, heartfelt thanks are offered to my friends, Miss Arnold-Forster, Rev. M.F. Peterson, Prof. G.H. Leonard, and Rev. C.S. Taylor, who have encouraged, advised, and greatly assisted me in this work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
