Excerpt from An Account of the Church and Parish of St. Giles, Without Cripplegate, in the City of London: Compiled From Various Old Authorities, Including the Churchwardens' Accounts, and the Vestry Minute Books of the Parish In conclusion, my readers' forbearance is asked for all faults of style and composition, and for the incomplete manner in which many of the subjects are treated, and I would have them note that the whole was compiled by one who had no previous expei'ience of such work, and who, full of public and private business, had comparatively little time at his disposal, except that obtained by a free expenditure of midnight oil.
