Excerpt from Old Plans of Cambridge, 1574 to 1798, by Richard Lyne, George Braun, John Hamond, Thomas Fuller, David Loggan and William Custance, Vol. 1: Reproduced in Facsimile With Descriptive Text; Text, With Numerous Illustrations
Professor Marr has very kindly furnished for the Introduction the section on the Geology Of Cambridge, and for valuable assistance in other matters I am in debted to the Reverend Dr Stokes, Mr G. J. Gray and Mr George Goode, m.a., Of the University Library. I also gratefully record the great interest shown by the late Mr Robert Bowes in the beginning and continuation Of the work, and the patience with which he submitted to the long delay in its publication. TO his friendly help I owe only less than to Mr Clark himself. My part has been one Of labour, but also of pleasure and love.
