Reviews / Votes
This book may fairly be described as indispensable to anyone researching local history. Dr Hoskins puts his learning at the service of fellow workers; not only does he tell them what is to be found and how to go about finding it, he also encourages and directs them to the most profitable kind of inquiry. His book should have a most wholesome influence.'The Times Educational Supplement
