Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Ancient Town and Borough of Newbury in the County of Berks
The fact is the last half century has seen a great revolution taking place in the character of historical knowledge and research, and such labours are now more appreciated and encouraged than formerly. Chronicles either not printed at all, or printed from bad and interpolated texts, so as to be Often very misleading, have now been properly edited, each with full indices; besides which a great work has been going on for some years at the Public Record Office, and in the ms. Departments of other institu tions, in the arranging and calendaring the material on which history has to rest. At the same time many literary societies have added their quota to our historical knowledge by printing many an over looked document, or bringing to bear upon it valu able criticism, and by recording in an accurate manner the archeological discoveries which take place.
