About this book
Echoes of Old Lancashire is a book by William E. A. Axon. The preface says the volume is intended for those who find it pleasant, at times, to wander in the byways of topography and local literature. The dedication describes this little book as dealing with some phases and episodes of the past life of the county palatine of Lancaster.
The text records that Sir Edmund Trafford married Alice, the daughter of Sir William Venables, in 1409, when the bride was but eleven years of age. The text says the devil of folk-lore is malignant but stupid, and oftener the dupe of humanity than the slayer of souls. The text quotes the title of a tract, The Fighting Sailor turned peaceable Christian, manifested in the convincement and conversion of Thomas Lurting. The text says Thomas Lurting died 30th First Month, 1713.
