Excerpt from Historic Houses in Bath, and Their Associations: Dedicated, With Great Respect, by Permission, to the Right Honourable Lady Llanover

In presenting this small work to the public, we entreat their kind and indulgent forbearance. We are conscious of its many defects and we feel, after all, that we may have only been the humble pioneers of some more able worker in the field of local Biography, Bibliography, and History, The chief difficulty we have had to contend with has been to condense the ample - too ample - materials which we found existing, into the space at our command, so as to render them interesting and of value to the general reader. Another difficulty, however, was to deal with the local stories and traditions which abound in such endless profusion in relation to the past. Fact and tradition have become so intermingled that the effort to separate them gave us no small trouble, the result being in many instances that the tradition was worthless and the fact useless. The gossip, the scandal, and the follies of a past age are not worth reviving; but there is a good deal, besides what is to be found in books and the ordinary records, which, although possibly beneath the notice of the dignified historian, is not without its intrinsic value in the annals of a city like Bath. What the Romans left us we have long known; and recently have been brought to light once more the evidences of their ingenuity, skill, and wondrous power, in adapting Nature's bounteous healing springs to the luxuries, as well as to the ills, of a people whose epoch closed sixteen centuries ago.
