YORKSHIRE FAMILY ROMANCE

By FREDERICK ROSS, F.R.H.S.,

AUTHOR OF "THE RUINED ABBEYS OF ENGLAND," "CELEBRITIES OF YORKSHIRE WOLDS," "BIOGRAPHIA EBORACENSIS," "THE PROGRESS OF CIVILISATION," ETC.

Amongst Yorkshire Authors Mr. FREDERICK ROSS occupies a leading place. For over sixty years he has been a close student of the history of his native county, and perhaps no author has written so much and well respecting it. His residence in London has enabled him to take advantage of the important stores of unpublished information contained in the British Museum, the Public Record Office, and in other places. He has also frequently visited Yorkshire to collect materials for his works. His new book is one of the most readable and instructive he has written. It will be observed from the following list of subjects that the work is of wide and varied interest, and makes a permanent contribution to Yorkshire literature.

CONTENTS:

The Synod of Streoneshalh. The Doomed Heir of Osmotherley. St. Eadwine, the Royal Martyr. The Viceroy Siward. Phases in the Life of a Political Martyr. The Murderer's Bride. The Earldom of Wiltes. Blackfaced Clifford. The Shepherd Lord. The Felons of Ilkley. The Ingilby Boar's Head. The Eland Tragedy. The Plumpton Marriage. The Topcliffe Insurrection. Burning of Cottingham Castle. The Alum Workers. The Maiden of Marblehead. Rise of the House of Phipps. The Traitor Governor of Hull.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.--The Edition is limited to 500 copies, and the greater part are sold. The book will advance in price in course of time.

Opinions of the Press.

"A remarkably handsome volume, typographically equal to the best productions of any European capital."--_North British Daily Mail._

"A handsome book. It is extremely interesting, and is a work which cannot fail to find a permanent place amongst the best books devoted to the history of the county. The military history of Yorkshire is very closely investigated in this work. Although the book is written in a clear and picturesque style, great care and attention have been given to the researches of antiquaries and historians, and many authorities have been consulted, in consequence of which, several long-established errors have been corrected, and some oft-repeated but superficial conclusions confuted. Special attention has been given to the military history of the county during the great rebellion--a subject which has yet to be fairly and intelligently treated by the general historian. So far as the limits of the work permit, the general history of the county, from epoch to epoch has been sketched, maintaining the continuity of the work, and increasing its interest and value both to the general reader and the specialist. The printers of the book are Messrs. Wm. Andrews and Co., Hull, and it must be regarded as a good specimen of local typography."--_Wakefield Free Press._

"An important work."--_Beverley Independent._

"Does great credit to the new firm of book publishers."--_Yorkshire County Magazine._

"A beautifully printed volume."--_Halifax Courier._

"Mr. Lamplough's book is thoroughly readable, and is written in a manly as well as a discriminating spirit."--_Yorkshire Post._
