Overview

Excerpt from Vestiges of Old Newcastle and Gateshead MY collaborator suggests that courtesy requires of me a few prefatory words. The present work originated in the possession of a number of sketches, made during leisure hours many years ago, and not intended for publication, and possessing little merit beyond a desire for accuracy. The drawings necessary to complete the series have been made in spare moments of severe professional labour, which - seldom under control - have been the cause of long delays in the publication of many of the parts. I am glad of this opportunity to confess that the fault has been mine, and to express my regret. I am fully conscious of many imperfections in the drawings, and, were it possible, I should much like to re-draw the whole. Yet many kind things have been said of the work by the press and by friends. The fact that subscribers have proved abundant is evidence that the work has met a want. Some of the buildings depicted have already disappeared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
