Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of Brentford, Ealing, and Chiswick: Interspersed With Biographical Notices of Illustrious and Eminent Persons, Who Have Been Born, or Have Resided There During the Three Preceding Centuries
In finally taking leave of my Antiquarian studies, which have occupied my attention for forty years, I may be per mitted to assert, that I have, at all times, used my best endeavours to select the truth, without undue prejudice or partiality, nor have spared either personal labour, or deligent investigation; thus I may truely say with Dr. Fuller that I have gone, and rid, and wrote, and sought, with mine own eyes, to make what discoveries I could; and, perhaps, I may be permitted to indulge the imagination, that the antiquary yet unborn will think with complacency and satisfaction on the days and years consumed by me in preparing the several Histories of Chelsea, Fulham, Kensington, Hammersmith Brentford, Ealing, and Chiswick.
