Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Guildford in the Olden Time: Side-Lights on the History of a Quaint Old Town
The following pages do not pretend to contain a History of Guildford, nor to afford a perfect Guide to the town. The long-projected History of the place is not yet written; and, although the author of this book has for many years hoped to accomplish this task, yet at present it is not possible for him to attempt a work of such large size and serious importance as a complete history of his birthplace would involve. This book does not also compete with the popular guides to the town, and it will be found that it does not contain the items of detailed information that such a book would require, for there is nothing in it as to modern dwellings, the Post Office, the railway station, or the hotels of the place.
