Transcribers Note:

The illustrations have been moved to fall between paragraphs. Full page illustrations were counted in the pagination, but, given these adjustments, are unnumbered here. On several occasions, the order of the illustrations is reversed, to better follow the text. The page numbers in the table of illustrations serve as links to the correct locations.

The footnotes, which were marked using the typical symbols (e.g., asterisks), have been numbered consecutively for uniqueness, and placed following the end of the text. They are linked for ease of reference and navigation. On several occasions (44.8, 48.10, 59.13, 229.59), a single footnote is referenced multiple times in the text. The reverse navigation to the page will position the reader at the first of them.

Minor errors, attributable to the printer, have been corrected. Please see the transcribers at the end of this text for details regarding the handling of any textual issues encountered during its preparation.

J. L. BROCKBANK, M.A.,

AND

W. M. HOLMES.

A typical Press Opinion."We have nothing but praise for this charming book. It has well been said that to master thoroughly the story of the city of York is to know practically the whole of English history, and the authors of this new history have demonstrated the truth of this opinion. No pains have been spared by the publishers to give the letterpress a perfect setting; binding, paper, illustrations, and general finish are alike admirable."
