Book Description

Excerpt from Playhouses and Half-Holidays, or Further Experiences of Two Schoolboys More than thirty-two years have elapsed since the following pages were first committed to writing. Such a space, it hardly need be said, has been long enough to afford the author many and continuous opportunities of adding to his knowledge, and modifying conclusions he had previously arrived at. Among the conclusions in question, and by no means without connection with the accession of knowledge, one prominent one is the set of ideas involved in the so-called "British Village" theory. For the conviction has forced itself on his mind that the said theory - the theory involved in the phrase "Ancient British Settlement," as applied in Cleveland - is simply and utterly a baseless one.
