"THIS little volume, which we had, by some accident, mislaid, will be particularly acceptable, to those who visit Harrogate; and, who may choose to make excursions from thence, to the neighbouring towns, gentlemen's seats, &c., &c." Monthly Review, for October, 1785. "HARGROVE'S History of the Castle, Town, and Forest of Knaresbrough, &c.—An entertaining little book; which, the inquisitive traveller will find well worth his perusal." Gentleman's Mag., for January, 1786. 7 2 "MR. HARGROVE, several of whose papers have enriched our magazine, (under the signature of E. H., K.) presents us with a considerably enlarged edition, of his History of Knaresbrough; accompanied with a well-engraved MAP, of nearly eight wapentakes; and notices, at least, 60 places, in the environs of Harrogate. On the whole, this book appears to be executed in a manner, superior to most works of the kind; and, whilst it shews the exactness of the author, it evinces his knowledge of the antiquities of which he treats." Gentleman's Mag., for May, 1789. See, also, Doctor Rees's New Cyclopædia; vol. V.; arti cle, Boroughbridge. |
