WORKS BY WILLIAM ANDREWS, F.R.H.S.
HISTORIC ROMANCE.
Strange Stories, Characters, Scenes, Mysteries,
and Memorable Events in the History of Old England.
In his present work Mr. Andrews has traversed a wider field than in his last book “Historic Yorkshire,” but it is marked by the same painstaking care for accuracy, and also by the pleasant way in which he popularises strange stories and out-of-the-way scenes in English history. There is much to amuse in this volume as well as to instruct, and it is enriched with a copious index.—Notes and Queries.
A fascinating work.—Whitehall Review.
Mr. Andrews discourses about Ordeals, Forest Life and Laws, Guilds, Pledging in the Days of Yore, Skull Superstitions, Cure by Royal Touch, Fools and Jesters, Death Omens, and kindred topics in over a score of chapters, every one of which is as enthralling as a well-written novel. But Mr. Andrews’ pages are instructive as well as entertaining, and he seems to have spared no pains to gather for us, from out-of-the-way corners and unknown sources, all kinds of much desired and welcome information.—Newcastle Courant.

HISTORIC YORKSHIRE.
Cuthbert Bede, the popular author of “Verdant Green,” writing to Society, says: “Historic Yorkshire,” by William Andrews, will be of great interest and value to everyone connected with England’s largest county. Mr. Andrews not only writes with due enthusiasm for his subject, but has arranged and marshalled his facts and figures with great skill, and produced a thoroughly popular work that will be read eagerly and with advantage. This handsomely-bound, luxuriously-printed, and gilt-edged volume would, indeed, form a very appropriate school-gift, as well as a book to be placed on the library shelf of the student. A clear and copious index increases the value of a work that will be read with interest by the historian, the folk-lorist, the antiquary, and the lover of legendary lore.
