Excerpt from Notes and Queries: For Worcestershire The fragments which the Author has rescued from the accu mulating dust of past ages are here presented, in the hope that others more competent will be stimulated to similar exertions in the various departments above indicated. Two insuperable reasons prevent his undertaking the task himself - first, that it would prove overwhelming and impossible to one who can spare only an occasional hour for the purpose, while, if divided amongst many, the accomplishment would be easy; and secondly, that much of the work to be done - especially the examination of ancient ecclesiastical documents - requires far greater scholastic attainments and a more intimate knowledge of the middle ages than he possesses. Divide and conquer must be the motto, if the work is to be done. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
