OBSESSED by the Conventions, I almost penned a conventional preface. But the spirit of perversity, which has descended upon me from so many Quaker ancestors, reasserted itself with customary unwisdom on this occasion also, and I intend to write as I wish rather than by precedent. One is familiar with the attitude of the tradesman to whom profit­ making is the cause for disposing of his wares ; and with that of the benevolent lady who conversely, in the tracts which she distributes, studies her own inclinations rather than those of the recipients. While I have no wish to depreciate my Nietzschean convictions by the suggestion that I am ever likely to distribute tracts, I would in this case ally my attitude with that of the benevolent lady. I therefore make no apology for the existence of this volume. I am very well aware that it is not in any sense perfect. One never contem­ plates the production of a family history which shall approach at all nearly to perfection, and the compilation of this work has seen many quarrels unexpected between desirability and practicability, to the over­ throw of the former. But if there were no excuse for family histories other than the vast influence which a knowledge of their heredity should have over the individual lives of all who dwell in this our world, I should still issue this book, knowing myself well justified. That statements intentional and errors unintentional will produce dislike, is probable. My aim throughout has been to write truth. In this respect with regret, many omissions have been made in view of a somewhat wide circulation; for instance, insanity is not mentioned, although not every descendant has escaped unscathed. But there xiii. XIV. The Thistlethwaite Family. remain a fe,v matters which I could not omit ,vithout implying a serious untruth. V eritas prcevalebit. The actual words of my correspondents have frequently been employed, as a paraphrase may so easily convey a different meaning. I have continuously sought to outroot ambiguity. It is needless to add that the consideration of literary style has been shunned as leading to this. In proof, the manuscript from which the printers have produced this book is my first draft, built up from letters, charts, and note-books. I have attempted to record within this volume every descendant of William Thistlethwaite, of Harborgill*, by his wife Alice Mason, whom he married in 1705. I have traced considerably more than 18oot of these blood-descendants by name, and know that there must be several hundreds ,vhom I have not yet discovered. Of each I have tried to obtain the place, day, month, and year, of birth, of marriage, and of death. The occupa­ tion of males and certain other matters are included when obtainable, but for obvious reasons little attempt has been made to describe personal characteristics, although ,vith regret. The length of each description is not to be taken as an indication of the relative importance of the person described. It is chiefly attributable to the relative accessibility of particulars. I shall be glad to include in my second volume any interesting facts herein omitted through ignorance. I entrust this history to its subscribers with the definite under­ standing that no one uses for advertisement purposes, or for annoying those who may be distantly akin, the names and addresses given here. Let me appeal to the honour of my kinsfolk in this matter. For myself, I make it a rule never to write a second time to a person until he has answered my first letter. * The name is now spelled "Harbergill." I know nothing of its etymology, but I have preferred to use the spelling " Harborgill," which was probably the most common form until recent years. t Although the actual numbering only reaches r79r, many previously unknown descendants have been added as this book was going through the press, and have been numbered alphabetically, e.g., (20¥), (204b), etc. I estimate that over 4,000 different persons are mentioned in this book altogether. Preface. xv. In most cases I have indicated those educated at Bootham and the Mount Schools, York, at Leighton Park, Reading, and at Polam Hall, Darlington. So many descendants have imbibed for more or less lengthy periods the spirit of those great ones which hovers between the cupolas of Ackworth School, that practicability-wrecker of so many wishes-has silenced the name herein. Avoidance of the conceits of genealogy has been striven for. We are certainly an "old" family: I imagine that all families must be so of necessity unless their critics admit a recent spontaneous generation. But if" an old family" signifies by convention a family which amassed wealth previous to the last three generations, then I protest that we are still in the fretal stage. I have not yet proved the right of our male line to use the crest and coat of arms registered to the Thistleth,vayte Family of Southwick Park, Hampshire ; and in fact think the possibility of doing so remote. We are egregiously middle-class. It is true that during the sixteenth century-so long ago that we may call it, in mixed but conforming metaphor, the zenith of a previous incarnation-our Thistlethwayte forebears had considerable transactions in real estate situated in Dent and Sedbergh. Of their land, their charities, and their progeny,-I hope to write in the not distant future.* The History of Pedigree-making would form an interesting socio­ logical study. Those with decades more experience have repeatedly expressed to me a complete incapacity to understand my reasons for tracing any but direct male descent-" for when a woman changes her name, she and her descendants no longer form part of her father's family, * It is my intention to issue a second volume of the Thistlethwaite Family History in the course of a year of two. This will include (a) The Wensleydale Thistlethwaite descendants, introducing branches of the Crosfield, Wallis, Fothergill, Cadbury, etc., families, and certain Seventeenth Century Quaker Sufferings, (b) A full account of the ancestors and remote relatives of the Dent Dale, Wensleydale, and Hampshire families, back to the time of Henry VII., (c) Incidental, but consider­ able and interesting, particulars which I have accumulated, concerning allied families, such as those of Fothergill, Harrison, Capstick, Hunter, Mason, etc., (d) Photoyraphs and further descriptions of Harborgill, Hudshouse, Carr End, Spicegill, Eugalas, and other family houses, {e) Corrections and additions to this First Volume, {/) An Essay on Heredity and Eugenics, {g) a complete index to both volumes. (I shall be glad of corrections, additions, and suggestions.) XVI. The Thistlethwaite Family. but belong to the pedigree of her husband." Pedigrees were formerly made to show descent of land and titles, which usually passed to the heir male. And in truth the entail of land was an excellent method for preserving the small land-owner, and thus retaining the interest of the middle class in rural matters; in our day an unwise wish for impar­ tiality to offspring causes a division of real estate only possible by con version. But the vast science of physical and mental heredity has now aroused us with its enormous importance, and without our pedigree ,ve cannot understand either ourselves or our children. This is the reason why a family without land or title should possess its family history, and this is the reason for tracing descent through women equally with men. Indeed if my conservative friends had buried themselves a little deeper in the past, they would have discovered sometime in the existence of every race the custom of Mother-right, that of tracing descent only through female lines.

  • John Wesley and the Religious Societies
    JOHN WESLEY AND THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES JOHN WESLEY AND THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES BY JOHN S. SIMON, D.D. AUTHOR OF * A SUMMARY OF METHODIST LAW AND DISCIPLINE,' * THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION IN ENGLAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY,' ETC. LONDON THE EPWORTH PRESS J. ALFRED SHARP First edition, 1921 PREFACE Canon Overton, in his Life in the English Church, 1660- ' 1714, says that there is no doubt that John Wesley intended his Societies to be an exact repetition of what was done by Beveridge, Horneck, and Smythies sixty-two years before.' ' He continues : How it was that the Methodist Societies took a different course is a very interesting, and, to a church- man, a very sad question.' In this book I have given descrip- tions of the first Rehgious Societies, and have shown their development under the influence of Dr. Woodward and John Wesley. From those descriptions my readers wiU be able to judge the accuracy of Canon Overton's statement concern- ing John Wesley's intentions. There can be no doubt, how- ' ' ever, that the relationship between the Religious Societies ' ' and the United Societies of the People called Methodists was so close that the latter cannot be understood without an intimate knowledge of the former. In writing this book, I have kept the Methodist Church in view. My eyes have been fixed on John Wesley and the England in which his greatest work was done. We can never understand the revival of religion which glorified the eighteenth century until we see Wesley as he wls, and get rid of the false impressions created by writers who have had an imperfect acquaintance with him and his evangelistic work.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

LONDON ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. 1893. PREFACE, THIS collection of traditionary lore connected with the Holy Wells, Rivers, Springs, and Lakes of England is the first systematic attempt made. It has been said there is no book in any language which treats of Holy Wells, except in a most fragmentary and discursive manner. It is hoped, therefore, that this may prove the foundation of an exhaustive work, at some future date, by a more competent hand. The subject is almost inexhaustible, and, at the same time, a most interesting one. There is probably no superstition of bygone days that has held the minds of men more tenaciously than that of well-worship in its broadest sense, "a worship simple and more dignified than a senseless crouching before idols." An honest endeavour has been made to render the work as accurate as possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained.
