PRESS OPINION. 



'* 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 Ehurach — the field at the meeting of the waters — through the Roman occupation 

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

 and the Danish colonisation of Jorvik — i.e.^ Yorwik — 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 relig-ious 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 g-eneral finish are alike admirable."
