The Life and Times of Anthony Wood, Antiquary of Oxford, 1632 1695, Described by Himself Collected from His Diaries and Other Papers; 1664 1681, With Illustrations (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life and Times of Anthony Wood, Antiquary of Oxford, 1632 1695, Described by Himself: Collected From His Diaries and Other Papers; 1664 1681, With Illustrations

This second volume departs even more widely than its predecessor' from the tradition of former editions. My readers will perhaps favour me by comparing this with any previous editions under the years 1674, 1675, 1676, 1680. In most other years also much new matter, often of great interest, will be found; e. G. In 1665 the account of the Royal Visit, in 1666 the note of the effect in Oxford of the great fire of London, in 1681 the narrative of the famous one-week Oxford Parliament.
