Excerpt from Gent's History of Hull (Annales Regioduni Hullini, ): Re-Printed in Fac-Simile of the Original of the Original of 1735, to Which Is Appended Notices of the Life and Works of Thomas Gent, Printer, of York The publishers are induced to undertake the present Reprint, from the extreme rarity and value of the original work, of which very few copies are now extant, and these so eagerly sought after as to have become a costly property, confined almost exclusively to the Libraries of a few antiquaries and connoisseurs. No reprint of this curious and quaint old volume has ever yet been made, and it is therefore comparatively unknown to the Inhabitants of Hull generally, to whom it is believed the present publication will be most welcome, as well as to the residents of Scarborough, Whitby, and Bridlington, the History of which Towns is also treated of in the same work. Gent's History of Hull has ever been a favorite book with the "ingenious Lovers of Antiquity," (to whom the author dedicated it), not only on account of its great merit as a literary composition, but also from the curious and fanciful illustrations which embellish it. The work has additional claims upon the Inhabitants of Hull as being the most valuable and comprehensive early History of the Town, its Churches, Monasteries, King's Palace, &c. which has ever been published.
