Excerpt from The Northern Counties Magazine, Vol. 1: October, 1900, to March, 1901
Our justification we believe to lie in the fact that life in the Northern Counties has been of late years so largely industrial, so involved in labyrinthine commerce that much that is of literary, artistic, sociological and antiquarian interest escapes from notice if it lies - as indeed in these hurrying days it usually does - remote from ordinary view.
Now in the pages of other Magazines the reader flies, in the turning of a leaf, as though upon the enchanted carpet, from China to Peru, from the slums of London to the back garden of Oom Paul, and for result, you have a mental indigestion.
