Excerpt from Two Lectures on the History and Antiquities of Berkhamsted The Lectures contained in the following pages formed part of the course delivered to the Members of the Berkhamsted Mechanics' Institute during the winter of 1854-53. They are printed at the request of those who heard them, though, from their simple and conversational style, it will at once be perceived that they were originally written without any idea of publication. Compiled indeed, as they were, only in the short intervals which parochial engagements allowed for them, nothing elaborate was possible. Trouble, how ever, has not been spared to render them a trustworthy and connected record of the History and Antiquities of Berkhamsted. It is, perhaps, needless to say that much was omitted in their delivery for the sake of being as little tedious as possible. Instead of encumbering each page with references, it has been thought sufficient to append a general list of books consulted. Many thanks are due to numerous friends for their valuable contributions and corrections. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
