Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Borough, Castle, and Barony of Alnwick, Vol. 2 At the present time, when the general histories of our country are marked by a free and independent spirit which bows neither to power nor to prejudice, no apology seems necessary for my endeavouring to treat local history in a similar manner. Some popular myths I may have discarded. And I may not have echoed exaggerations which savour more of flattery to the living than of honour to the dead, yet I have sought to do justice to all, to appreciate excellence wherever found, and to exalt the men, of whatever rank, who have been public benefactors. That I have kept entirely free from error is more than I expect; I claim only such results as can be achieved by diligence and an earnest search after truth.
