Excerpt from The Story of Some English Shires The present volume, the Story of Some English Shires, ' was originally published by the Religious Tract Society in the year 1897. It then appeared in two forms, as an Edition de Luxe, and as a handsome illustrated volume in royal quarto. Both of these editions were sold out immediately after publication, and the book has long been out of print. But there is a strong feeling that, since the work is of permanent literary and historical value, and is from the pen of one of the recognized masters of English history, it should be issued again in permanent library form. In order to meet this suggestion the book has been reprinted as the reader now has it. The contents are the same as the previous issue, except that a chapter on the county of Cambridge has been added. It was Dr. Creighton's purpose to tell in like manner the story of all the English Shires; but unhappily the manifold duties of his great position prevented him from doing more, since 1897, in the way of completing his great plan than the writing of this one new chapter.
