Excerpt from Launceston, Past and Present: A Historical and Descriptive Sketch
Fortunately, it has of late years become much more easy than it formerly was to tell such a story as that of Launceston. Patient investigators among the state records have done good service to in tending historians by placing at their disposal a mass of information not otherwise obtainable, except at the cost of such time and toil as could by few be afforded. The facts disclosed by the labours of the Royal Commissions upon the public records and upon private collee tions of historical manuscripts, and of the various investigators Into the contents of the state papers, have done much to bridge the gaps that had marked previous attempts to relate the story of Launceston. But beyond this, the path of the local historian has been made the smoother by the growth of that spirit of historical inquiry which has marked the present age. Times to which the memory of man runneth not have by this been brought close to us, and much that had been matter for dreamiest Speculation has been resolved into fact. The investigation of folk-lore, of place-names, and of legends has greatly simplified the task of compiling local chronicles, and this, with the other sources of information named above, has been freely made use of in the present venture.
