Excerpt from Historical and Scientific Survey of York and District: Prepared for the 75th Meeting of the British Association, 1906 The design on the cover, for which we are indebted to Miss M. F. Taylor (paris), merits some explanation. The ornamentation of the side panels is copied from the Shaft of a pre-norman cross brought from Wakefield, and now to be seen in the York Museum; the interlaced work uniting the panels above is taken from one of the initial letters in the anglo-saxon Gospels preserved in the Minster Library. The lettering is that of a contemporary anglo-saxon manuscript. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
