Preface

. In the present Work the object of the Publishers has been to supply to the people of Cumberland and Westmoreland a complete and modern history of the two Counties. The only histories of Cumberland and Westmoreland which enjoyed any degree of reputation are those of Nicolson and Burn, and Hutchinson — a reputation by no means undeserved: but they are now old books; a long chapter of the manorial history has passed over since they were published ; many things are changed, and many are changing; hence the want of a New History of Cumberland and Westmoreland, and the present attempt to supply that want. The introductory portion of the Work consists of a General History of the Counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland, from the earliest period, by Thomas Wright, Esq., M.A., F.S.A., one of the most distinguished archæologists of our age and country, author of "The Celt, the Roman, and the Saxon," and numerous other works.

In the composition of this part of the volume, Mr. Wright has endeavoured to treat the History and Antiquities of the two Counties in such a manner as to show what light the discoveries of the archæologist can throw upon the condition of this part of England, during centuries which present little more than a blank in our ordinary annals. This is followed by an article on the Geology of Cumberland and Westmoreland, with particular reference to the District of the English Lakes, from the pen of the Rev. J. G. Cumming, M.A., F.G.S., Professor of Geology in the Queen's College, Birmingham. From Mr. Cumming's repeated surveys of these districts, and his intimate knowledge of their various strata, he has been able to make many interesting additions to this department of science, and the publishers have no doubt that the Work, with its accompanying Geological Map, will contain a more accurate account of the Geology of the two Counties than any that has as yet issued from the press.

The eminent authoress, Harriet Martineau, has also contributed an article on the Lake District, which gives an interesting description of the past and present state of that " Switzerland in Miniature," its folk-lore, customs, and superstitions. vi. PREFACE, The Topography embraces a full account, under thenrespective Wards, of the City and Diocese of Carlisle, and all the baronies, manors, boroughs, towns, ports, parishes, chapelries, townships, villages, and hamlets, in the two Counties, clearly showing their boundaries, area, rateable value, population, landowners, seats and pedigrees of the families of the nobility and gentry, succession of incumbents, nature and value of church livings, tithes and their commutation, description of churches, chapels, and public buildings, endowed and other schools, hospitals, charities, benevolent, literary, and scientific institutions, poor-law unions, courts of law, manufactures, markets and fairs, and a variety of statistical and other information, extracted from MSS. in the British Museum, Parliamentary documents, and other authentic sources.

Generally speaking, in the manorial history, the Author has taken Nicolson and Burn's account as the foundation of his own, correcting their statements, and continuing the history, whenever his own researches, and the kindness of the literary and official gentlemen of the two Counties have enabled him to do so. Many new features have been introduced in the Work, which it is hoped is unique of its kind. Attention is also called to its arrangement, which will, in a very great degree, facilitate reference, and thus increase its usefulness. With all the care which can be given to the subject, it is next to impossible that such a Work can be without errors ; and the fact, that things are always changing, will explain why, before the book was finished, many things had ceased to be as they were when it began.

The Publishers have always solicited from their Subscribers, who were constantly on the spot, the favour of a correction of such errors; and by the aid thus rendered, with what they themselves have been able to collect, they have endeavoured, as far as they could, to supply all such deficiencies by a brief Appendix, In conclusion, the Publishers beg leave to express their best thanks to the nobility, gentry, and clergy, and their numerous subscribers generally, for the munificient manner in which they have patronised the Work, and the valuable assistance they have rendered during its preparation. The aid, thus kindly given, has been of the greatest importance, and will, there is little doubt tend to give the Work a standard character, and make it an authority upon everything connected with the History, Antiquities, and Topography of the two Counties.
