Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Early History and Antiquities of Wycombe: In Buckinghamshire
He was Rector of Whiston, Northamptonshire, and died July 28, 1801.viii altogether uninteresting to the Antiquary, the Topographer, and the general reader. The sources from whence he has derived his informa tion are chie?y, the muniments deposited in the Archives of the Wycombe Municipal Charity Trustees, the National Record Office, the British Museum, and the Bodleian Library.
It may be added, that the muniments of the Corporation, which were formerly deposited in the Church chest, were some years since examined, and a schedule of them made by the Author; and their investigation has considerably facilitated his researches and simplified his labours.
The Author has not deemed it expedient to encumber his pages with elaborate details, but simply to give a faithful, unvarnished, and concise History of Wycombe in the olden times. He is very sensible of the many imperfections of the W'ork, but trusts that it will meet with the indulgence and approval of the candid reader.
