Preface

Absolute accuracy is by no means claimed for this new edition of the Handbook to Lancashire. At the same time, many corrections and much additional information will be found in it. The state of trade being so very uncertain, the Editor has thought it better to confine himself to the general account of the Lancashire Industries previously given, and to avoid statistical detail.

The Editor will be thankful for any hints or information which may be sent to him. Communications should be addressed to the care of Mr. Murray, 50 Albemarle Street.

The Editor begs to state his grateful obligations to Mr. W. E. A. Axon, of Manchester ; to Mr. Joseph Boult, of Liverpool ; and to Mr. W. Boper, of Lancaster, for all information respecting these towns. He has also thankfully to acknowledge the kind co-operation of Mr. E. Kirk, of Pendleton, near Manchester ; of Mr. James Clegg, Editor of the Bolton Chronicle ; of Mr. W. Abram, Editor of the Blackburn Times ; of Mr. A. Sinclair, of St. Helens ; of Mr. W. Beam on t, of Warrington ; of Mr. Dixon, of Ormskirk ; of Mr. Bond, of Dalton-in-Eurness ; of Mr. C. B. West, of Manchester; all of whom have endeavoured to insure the accuracy of the work.
