Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Annals of Manchester: Biographical, Historical, Ecclesiastical, and Commercial, From the Earliest Period to the Close to the Year 1839
The following curious passage is found in an old black letter book dated 1602 The manners of the inhabitants of Lancashire are similar to those of the neighbouring counties, except that the men always eat with prong forks. The men U are masculine and in general well made; they ride out and hunt as in most southern parts, but not with that grace, owing to the whip being carried in the left hand. The women are mostly handsome; their eyes brown, black, hazel, blue, and gray; their noses, if not inclined to the aquiline, are mostly of the Grecian form, which gives a most beautiful archness to the countenance, such indeed as is not easy to be described; their fascinating manners have long procured them the name of the Lancashire witches.
