Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Remains Historical Literary, Vol. 17: Connected With the Palatine Counties of Lancaster and Chester
This book, presenting to the reader Warrington as it existed during the Wars of the Roses, offers a few traits of resemblance to the recovery of Pompeu, and affords at the same time a greater number of strong points of contrast. Laid by for a period of nearly four hundred years, it is now by the kindness of its owner, thomas legh, Esq., of Lyme, offered to the Society; and, in its pages, our distant auces try become familiar to us in their names, their occupations, their money, their habitations, their customs, and their reli gious worship. Theatres, and the fine arts, are found only in Pompeii, - cemeteries and tombs, are met with both there and in Warrington!
