Excerpt from Hullinia, or Selections From Local History: Including the Siege of Hull, Our Ancient Churchyards, and Past Poets of Hull An additional motive that set my pen moving was to ina duce the young persons of our town to peruse larger works on similar subjects, and to stimulate the mind to further research into the early annals of kingston-upon-hull. I don't agree with the aphorism that a great book is a great evil. It is, at least, a great necessity, if even required only for reference. It is one ofthe privileges of History, says a sage writer, to impart the experience of age without its infirmities - to bring back things long obscured and fast fading away. It enriches the memory with a great variety of important episodes of bygone days. It also teaches us what measures and counsels make the issue of things fortunate, and points out what kind of conduct in volves its authors in ruin. It gives unerringly wise examples for our imitation in a private as well as in a public capacity. If, then, hullinia, will inżuence my young readers to study those comprehensive and elaborate volumes that have been written upon the rise and progress of our town, and which contain much that is valuable and interesting, my object shall have been accomplished.
