Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Many Celebrities and a Few Others: A Bundle of Reminiscences
Are these events local and immaterial, and only preserved in provincial history and the memories of sentimental and garrulous townsmen? I think not. The Editor of Haydn's Dictionary of Dates does not ignore them any more than he ignores the Siege of Troy, the Rape of the Sabines, Hannibal and Caesar, the Armada or Trafalgar and Waterloo.
