Introduction.


 This scanned transcription of "The Pictorial History of the County of the
 County of Lancaster," published by George Routledge, London, in 1854, is
 made available through the generous loan of the book by Mr Jack Newton,
 B.Sc., of Sydney, N.S.W., (formerly of Otley, Yorkshire), to whom I extend a
 sincere thank you.

 The book gives an eye witness account of the industrial revolution in
 Lancashire. It is made available for an individual's personal research
 purposes ONLY, and MUST NOT be copied, sold, or used for commercial or
 profit purposes. Credits should be given to the original publication
 when references to, or quotations from this work, are used.

 I apologise in advance for the poor quality of the graphics, however, it
 was necessary to reduce them to a third of the original size, to included
 them in this scanned edition. By doing so, the quality suffered, but to
 omit them, would have meant the real value of the publication would have
 been lost. As far as possible, subject to formatting requirements, this
 scanned copy is exactly as as the original, and the graphics have been
 placed on the same pages, therefore the "Index of Illustrations" shown at
 the front will locate them.

 Please Note. The footnotes in this volume often extend over two pages, so
            when one appear incomplete, look at the bottom of the following
            Page.

            Some charts e.g. pages x & xi; xii & xii etc,, need to be read
            across, as if on one page, for reason which should be obvious it
            was not possible to scan them together.
