The present volume is the third of a series intended as a contribution to a Complete History of the Borough of Bradford. The town itself alone remains for treatment, but whether the present Author will be given length of days, or be courageous enough, to undertake the task, remains to be seen. In any case the work thus far continued should be carried on to completion, in order that the History of Bradford, so ably commenced by the late John James, may be brought up to date.
