Excerpt from The Redmans of Levens and Harewood: A Contribution to the History of the Levens Family of Redman and Redmayne in Many of Its Branches
Prompted by this feeling I now venture to place on record the substance of what I have been able to learn of the history of this old and historic family, so that those who have not the time or facilities for independent research may have the advantage, such as it is, of my work; and also that any future historian may have a foundation ready prepared on which he can build a structure more worthy of its object. Thus I shall have the satisfaction of knowing that the efforts of later students Will be more profitably employed in adding to the present knowledge of Redman history than in acquir ing it de novo, as has so often and needlessly been done.
