Excerpt from Memoirs Chiefly Illustrative of the History and Antiquities of Northumberland, Vol. 1: Miscellaneous Papers The following pages, however, present to the Archaeologist valu able accessions to our knowledge of the earlier History of the Northern Parts of Britain; of the vestiges of Roman occupation; of the period also of the introduction of Christian Faith; and of many matters prior to the Feudal age. With these more recon dite archaeological subjects there will be found in this Volume researches of peculiar local attraction, not devoid of value even in a practical point of view. The Institute is indebted to Mr. Hodgson Hinde - on whom has now fallen the mantle of the lamented Historian of Northumberland, John Hodgson - for a valuable exposition of the early conditions and trade of Newcastle. The progressive development of the vast industry and enterprise of the Tyne has presented to Mr. Thomas John Taylor a subject of the highest local interest in the Archaeology of the Coal Trade, which none could have treated with greater ability and intimate knowledge of all its curious details. Amongst those to whose kindness the Institute is under special obligation, as contributing illustrations accompanying their Memoirs, Mr. Taylor must be specially named. He has liberally defrayed the entire cost both of drawing and engraving the numerous representations of machinery, the sections, maps, and other curious details.
