Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Lawrence-Townley and Chase-Townley Estates in England: With Copious Historical and Genealogical Notes of the Lawrence, Chase, and Townley Families, and Much Other Valuable Information
Having been employed by certain parties to ascertain whether there was such a property as the lawrence-townley or chase-townley estate in England, and whether they could recover the same, I have, with the assist ance of competent and reliable associates, made a thorough and complete investigation.
This book contains the information collected by myself, and also that furnished by parties interested, with much other matter relating to the case, and will, I believe, be found to be the most extended and reliable report ever made about the so-called lawrence-townley or chase-townley estates.
I am not accustomed to write for the press, and make no pretensions to authorship, but have simply endeavored to express, in plain language, what I have collected about the subject-matter of the book.
In presenting this report, I do not mean to cast re?ections upon my predecessors, especially those who have departed this life, as I have no doubt many of them, among others Mr. Carver, undertook the matter in good faith, but were unable for lack of funds, and from other reasons, to carry the case to an end but I find it necessary to mention their names in this report, not with disrespect, but simply to present both sides of the question, and in order to give the readers an opportunity to judge for themselves.
