Excerpt from Feudal and Military Antiquities of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders: Illustrated by the Baronial Histories of Institute Prudhoe, and Wark In the present volume I have endeavoured to illustrate the Feu dal and Military Antiquities of Northumberland and the Scottish Borders, by uniting the result of personal surveys with an ex tensive search amongst such unprinted sources of information as were most likely to cast any light upon their history. The inquiry has necessarily occupied some time, since I have had occasion to travel over very wide and, in many instances, unfro quented and remote districts, - over a division of the kingdom that includes the whole of the northern counties touching upon Scotland, as well as those parts of Scotland adjoining them. In consequence of taking this more comprehensive view, what was offered to the meeting of the Archaeological Institute at N ew castle simply as an historical outline of one department of North umberland, has become expanded so as to embrace a greater number of kindred subjects.
