Excerpt from Guildford in the Olden Time: Side-Lights on the History of a Quaint Old Town The following pages do not pretend to contain a History of Guildford, nor to afford a perfect Guide to the town. The long-projected History of the place is not yet written; and, although the author of this book has for many years hoped to accomplish this task, yet at present it is not possible for him to attempt a work of such large size and serious importance as a complete history of his birthplace would involve.
