TAILIEUCHUNG - Grain and Chaff from an English Manor

It is a pleasure to acknowledge with grateful thanks the kind help of friends and correspondents which I have received in writing this book. Mr. Warde Fowler was good enough to look through the chapters while still in manuscript, and I have also received great help from Mr. Herbert A. Evans, who has read through the proofs. The help of others--besides those whose names I give in the text--has been less general and mostly confined to some details in the historical part of the first chapter, and to portions of the subject-matter of the last.

Most of these places have some unwritten history and peculiarities worthy of attention and an extensive literary field is thus open to residents with opportunities for observation and research. Such records have rarely been undertaken in the past possibly because those capable of doing so have not recognized that what are the trivial features of everyday life in one generation may become exceptional in the next and later still will have disappeared altogether. Gilbert White who a hundred and thirty years ago published his _Natural History of Selborne_ was the first and I suppose the most eminent historian of any obscure village and it is surprising as his book has for so long been regarded as a classic that so few have attempted a similar record.
