BY
CHARLES W. BARDSLEY, M.A.,
Vicar of Ulverston,
AUTHOR OF “ENGLISH SURNAMES,” ETC.
“This Booke containes the names of mortall men;
But thear’s a Booke with characters of golde,
Not writ with incke, with pensill, or with pen,
Wheare Gode’s elect for ever are inrolde,
The Booke of Life; wheare labor thou to bee,
Beefore this Booke hath once re-gistred thee.”
From a Church Register.
