Excerpt from Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, Vol. 3: Session 1874-75 The editing of this Volume was commenced by the Honorary Secretary, in the Autumn of 1875: but a presure of printing work, throughout most of the winter, interfered with its completion. The late President, who took it up about the close of the third Paper, is responsible for the remainder. Volume XXVIII, for the Session recently closed, will follow in rapid succession; and thus the regularity of the issue of the Volumes will be restored.
