A History of Hertfordshire. 



By John E. Cussans. Illustrated with full-page Plates on Copper 



and Stone, and a profusion of small Woodcuts. 

 " Mr. Cussans has, from sources not accessible to Clutterbuck, made most 

 valuable additions to the manorial history of the county from the earliest period 

 downwards, cleared up many doubtful points, and given original details con- 

 cerning various subjects untouched or imperfectly treated by'' that writer. The 

 pedigrees seem to have been constructed with great care, and are a valuable addition 

 to the genealogical history of the county. Mr. Cussans appears to have done 

 his work conscientiously, and to have spared neither time, labour, nor expense i» 

 render his volumes worthy of ranking in tlie highest class of County Histories.
