T is my purpose, in this paper, to put together a few 

 orts and scraps, hitherto, so far as I am aware, 

 unknown or unnoticed, respecting the antiquities of 

 the Derbyshire Norton. If the reader should think that my re- 

 marks are diffuse and disjointed, when he sees how one piece of 

 information jostles against another, apparently without rhyme or 

 reason, I must, for my sufficient apology, remind him that I make 

 no pretence of giving a consecutive historical narrative, but only 

 a few undigested facts, which, rough-hewn as they are, and 

 lacking interest for the general reader, may nevertheless be 

 acceptable to those who have become attached to the genius loci, 

 or, peradventure, to some of those choice spirits who seek amuse- 

 ment, if not profit, in travelling along the by-paths of history.
