The book also explores broader themes of nature, faith, and mortality. Throughout, the author's love of the area shines through, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history and beauty of Shotley Bridge and its surroundings.

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Historical and Descriptive Poems

Durham, and if, in their present connected form, they chance to merit a wider circulation, it is to be hoped they will satisfy the expectations of the stranger, not merely in the variety of the subjects chosen, but in purity of tone and sentiment.

The explanatory footnotes attached to some of the longer poems will perhaps recall not a few favourite incidents and half-forgotten legends, which may tend to enhance the interest and usefulness of the work.

My very cordial and sincere thanks are due to the printer and publisher, who has been of untold value to me in the dual capacity of councillor and friend.
