Excerpt from History and Antiquities of the Newport Pagnell Hundreds The editing of this volume has been a labour of love, recalling happy memories of the past. It is about forty years since I took up my residence in the historic Hundreds of Newport Pagnell, and I have never missed an opportunity of obtaining a local work, and making a note of matters I deemed of interest and importance. In the follow ing pages will be found the result of my gleanings. The task of history-writing bristles with pitfalls, and it is idle to suppose that there is no weak spot in this book for the critic to assail. But critics, if in the main less important than they affect to be, have their uses as advertising media, and while expressing that nothing which care and diligence could do to make this work perfect has been left undone, I beg to express a hope that the person who finds errors, and sets out to expose them, will do so as loudly as possible.
