Description:Excerpt from Captain Myles Standish: His Lost Lands and Lancashire Connections; A New Investigation The ancestral homes of the Men of the Mayflower are centres of interest both to Americans and ourselves. The following pages record some recent researches into "the mystery of Myles Standish." New light is thrown on the problem of his lost lands, and of his descent. Some old traditions are challenged; the squires of Dux-bury and the rectors of Chorley are cleared of the charges often brought against them. May every other misunderstanding, whether small or great, between Old England and New England be as easily dissipated, and Anglo-American friendship wax firm and strong. The author is indebted to Professor James Tait for much guidance and help, and to H. M. McKechnie, Esq., M. A., Secretary of the Manchester University Press, for the valuable assistance he has given. Cordial thanks are tendered to Mrs. Tempest and to H. N. W. Standish, Esq., for the use of the Standish Deeds and Papers; to Dr. William Farrer for the loan of the Towneley Manuscripts; and also to Mr. D. Halton for permission to use photographs. Harold Sumner, Esq., O. O. B. E., has given generous aid towards the cost of publication. Last, but not least, the writer is indebted to J. M. Ains-cough, Esq., J. P., his friend and helper in many an antiquarian quest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
