Sketches of Hull Authors (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sketches of Hull Authors

IN presenting this little work, the editors recognise the fact that, although it may be said Hull Authors have already been well chronicled, no collection of local biography has hitherto been made. As the first attempt, therefore, in this direction, the editors hope that the present volume on the lives and works of those authors who have been natives of, or intimately connected with Hull, may prove a welcome and useful addition to local literature as a work of reference, besides being of equal interest to the general reader.

The Sketches comprise most of those who may be ranked as Hull Authors, and are based on a series of articles which appeared originally in the Eastern Morning News for 1876, and they are now published with considerable additional matter and corrections from the author's notes. The Sketches also include some information which has not previously appeared.
