YORK 



IN ENGLISH HISTORY 



BY 



J. L. BROCKBANK, B.A. 



AND 



W. M. HOLMES 



An Old Sallyport to York Castle. 

 The Opinion of " The Schoolmaster." 



"We have nothing but praise for this charming book. It has been well said 

 that 'to master thoroughly the story of the city of York is to know practically the 

 whole of English history,' and the authors of this new history have demonstrated 

 the truth of this opinion. From that almost prehistoric time when the Celts settled 

 in Eburach — the field at the meeting of the waters — through the Roman occupation 

 and fortification of Eburaattn, and on through the Anglian development of Eoferwik, 

 and the Danish colonisation of Jorvik — i.e., Yorwick — we are led on to the York of 

 Norman times, and so through mediaeval ups and downs to the city as we know it to-day. 

 Across its stage have passed Julius, Agricola, Hadrian, Severus and Constantine ; 

 Edwin, Siward, Tostig, Harold ; William the Conqueror and Edward, Malleus Scotorum, 

 Queen Phillipa and the fair Margaret, James I., and all the Stuart kings; Fairfax and 

 Cromwell, and the gay, dashing Cavalier, Prince Rupert. And parallel with these there 

 have been the leaders of religious thought, and the grand, old Minster, looking calmly 

 down on scenes of war and Revolution. This is the story that is told so admirably by 

 Messrs. Brockbank and Holmes — a story which no resident in, or visitor to York should 

 leave unread. No pains have been spared by the publishers to give the letterpress a 

 perfect setting; binding, paper, illustrations, and general finish are alike admirable."
