Concise History of the Parish and Vicarage of Halifax [PDF ebook] 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. But why mention these facts to stimulate the exertions of others when it is borne in mind that a great desideratum has been attained for Halifax in the union of literary feeling and sentiment. Already is the ivy clinging to the oak, and the admirer of nature, in the cultivation of his favorite pur suit will in the end have the satisfaction of finding that she never betrayed the heart that loved her.
