This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1817 edition. Excerpt: ... and as Walcher, bishop of Durham, invited them to reside under his jurisdiction, they resolved to accept his invitation; and, after being hospitably entertained by the bishop, they settled under his patronage at the ancient monastery of Jarrow. Having built themselves huts among the ruins, and erected a temporary place of worship, they led a life of poverty, supported only by the alms of the pious. Their high reputation for sanctity soon brought an accession to their numbers; and Walcher, overjoyed at their increase, gave them some lands for their support. But Aldwin's views were not confined to the restoration of one monastery, and perceiving the flourishing state of Jarrow, he left it to the charge of Elfwine, and set out in quest of another station; while Reinfrid, on the same principle, travelled southward to revive the ancient monastery of St. Hilda.f Bawdwen's Domesday, p. 64. f Charlton's Hist. p. 58. According' to a memorial in the records of Whitby abbey, Reinfrid had formerly been a soldier in the Conqueror's army, and being with him in his northern expedition, had turned aside to visit the ancient Streoneshalc, when his heart was greatly affected at beholding its ruins; and under this impression he had entered the monastery of Evesham, that he might be qualified to take a part in its restoration. This statement does not seem to correspond with the account of Hoveden and Simeon of Durham, whose authority I have followed. Yet we may believe, that, according to the memorial, Reinfrid was favourably received by William de Percy, an eminent Norman baron, who then held the manor of Whitby and Sneaton under Hugh, earl of Chester; and Avho was himself the proprietor of large estates in other parts of Yorkshire.

Isten szek!"--"God's seat!"--and he crossed himself reverently. As we wound on our endless way, and the sun sank lower and lower behind us, the shadows of the evening began to creep round us. This was emphasized by the fact that the snowy mountain-top still held the sunset, and seemed to glow out with a delicate cool pink. Here and there we passed Cszeks and slovaks, all in picturesque attire, but I noticed that goitre was painfully prevalent. By the roadside were many crosses, and as we swept by, my companions all crossed themselves. Here and there was a peasant man or woman kneeling before a shrine, who did not even turn round as we approached, but seemed in the self-surrender of devotion to have neither eyes nor ears for the outer world.

Whitby is well known today as a seaside resort and a picturesque place to visit, with its piers, boats, fine sands and, overlooking its tangle of red-roofed houses, the ruins of its Abbey in one of the most splendid settings in Britain for such romantic remains. But few of its many visitors would guess the long history of the town or its significance, from time to time, in national affairs. The only comprehensive history of Whitby, it rapidly sold out and Dr White, its author, of ancient Whitby stock, has now fully revised and updated his book, with some new illustrations and interpretations. This new edition will continue as the definitive work on Whitby.
