Excerpt from History of Worksop: With Historical Descriptive and Discursive Sketches of Sherwood Forest
The Preface - where the author makes his first bow to the public - is that pause in a literary undertaking, resembling those more solemn ones in life, where man, retiring awhile from his active and every-day pursuits, takes review of his works accomplished, of his life, its short-comings, and its failings; but the one, as re gards results, has this advantage a new edition, correcting the omissions and commissions, may amend the book - no new edition of the volume past can arise from the other.
