THIRD EDITIONEXTENDED AND IMPROVED.

Chronological Retrospect
OF THE
History of Yarmouth
and Neighbourhood,
From A.D. 46 TO 1884,

CONTAINING ABOUT
5,000 Important Local Events, &c.;
AND AN
ALPHABETICAL LIST OF MAYORS.

It is to Chronology that History owes its use and beauty; as being without it a mere chaos, a jumble of facts confusedly heaped together, and consequently capable of affording neither pleasure nor instruction. Locke .

Tis well to wander back at times
Through Memorys faded Halls,
And gaze upon the many Scenes
That hang upon its Walls.

PREFACE.

Few words only are necessary to introduce this Third Edition to our readers, beyond expressing a hope that the contents will meet with general approbation, and that much pleasure will be derived from its perusal, now and for many years to come. We would ask, as a SPECIAL FAVOUR , in order to ensure a wider circulation, that our friends will recapitulate the comments of the Press, by recommending this History of Yarmouth as worthy of a place in every library. It is seven years since the Second Edition, without supplement, was published.

No greater honour could have been conferred upon the Author than when the Heir Apparent to the Throne of England (His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales , K.G.), on his visit to Yarmouth in 1882, expressed his pleasure, through Colonel Teesdale, in the acceptance as a present, of a copy of this History; and the placing of this work, with supplement (A.D. 46 to 1879) in the principal stone of the New Town Hall in 1880 by the then Mayor (C. C. Aldred, Esq.) was also gratifying.

Edward Birkbeck , Esq. , M.P., writing to us from the House of Commons, on March 19th, 1884, says:I do not think my name is worthy of having a book dedicated to me, but I shall nevertheless be proud to have it placed where you suggest. The people of Yarmouth will endorse our sentiments when we say, for his zeal and untiring energy in promoting many special objects in the good old town, that he is worthy of greater eulogiums than we can bestow, and therefore tender our best thanks to that gentleman for his courtesy in allowing this volume to be dedicated to hima privilege that was also given us in a first issue, by his predecessor in the Imperial Parliament, the lamented Colonel Duff . Neither must we forget to express our obligation to a select list of subscribers to the work.

Great Yarmouth , April , 1884.

TO
EDWARD BIRKBECK, ESQ.
M.P. FOR NORTH NORFOLK,
THIS BOOK
(WITH PERMISSION)
IS
MOST RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED
BY
HIS OBEDIENT AND HUMBLE SERVANT,

WM. FINCH-CRISP.
