Excerpt from The History of Wigan, Vol. 1 A history of Wigan is one worthy of the very best illustrations obtainable, but I deeply regret that the insurmountable difficulty of expense prevents me from illustrating these volumes, and I have decided, wisely or unwisely, that it is better not to illustrate them at all than to do so unworthily. Not only could old views of Wigan be obtained for faithful engraving, but facsimiles of many of the old documents which I have had the honour and pleasure of laboriously perusing would be rare curiosities, welcome to the interested reader. Of such documents I may specially mention the charters, poll-books, petitions, Court Leet transactions, old minute books, and the original document constituting the first Common Council.
