To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


At the commencement of the Civil Wars Manchester was important enough to be a scene of heavy contest. The sympathies of the town, as a whole, were with the Parliament ; not in antagonism to royalty, but because of the suspicion that Charles secretly befriended Popery. It was the same belief which estranged Bolton — a place never in heart disloyal, so long as the ruler does his own part in faithfulness and honour. Standing in the Cathedral graveyard, it is hard to imagine that the original of th
...e bridge now called the "Victoria" was once the scene of a deadly struggle, troops filling the graveyard itself.
no niustrations of Lancashire Here, however, it was that the severest assault was made by the RoyaHsts, unsuccessfully, as were all the other attacks, though Manchester never possessed a castle, nor even regularly con- structed fortifications.
The town was then " a mile in length," and the streets were "open and clean." Words change their meaning with lapse of time, and the visitor who in 1650 thus describes them may have been given a little to overpraise ; but if Manchester deserved such epithets, alas for the condition of the streets elsewhere !
