Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Local Lays and Legends: Fantastic and Imaginary
The Last Day at Leeds and the Lay of Lancaster's Ghost, were written at Fryston Hall in 1863, and dedicated afterwards, in a privately printed edition, to the author's genial and appreciative host, Lord Houghton, who had entertained him and other attached friends after the Leeds Congress and of whom alas! Besides the writer, his Lordship is the only survivor of those pleasant days and evenings, to which the Versicles especially refer.
