Excerpt from A Guide to Ripon, Fountains Abbey, Harrogate, Bolton Priory: And Several Places of Interest in Their Vicinity This design has not, however, been accomplished without much difficulty. There is no County History on whose fundamental statements I might rely; no tolerable local history which I could resort to and abridge nor havei enjoyed a digest of those local records, whose examination would occupy the attention of years; nor the collections of those, who, with a fate too common, have laboured only that other men might enter into their labours. Lastly since these pages have been collected at an outlay of trouble and expense much greater than is usually expended on a work of this nature and pretension, and abstracted from incipient collections - of which, if God grant me health and opportunity, I intend to make more comprehensive use in my projected History of the Wapentake of Claro and Liberty of Ripon, I may not be deemed unreason able. If I desire those, who may have the inclination or necessity to republish such original facts as I have recorded, to acknowledge the source from whence they are derived and - remembering that much information which I have pointed out on these subjects, has been seized by ignorant adventurers, in the sordid spirit of mereantile gain - to observe that, on a recurrence of their attentions, I shall avail myself of the legal remonstrances provided for those whose organs of acquisitiveness are too largely developed.
