Summary "A History of Lancashire" by Lieut.-Colonel Henry Fishwick is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the rich and diverse history of the English county of Lancashire, tracing its development from pre-Roman times through various significant historical periods, including the influence of the Romans, Saxons, and Normans. Fishwick aims to provide a comprehensive overview while selecting the most important events and figures that shaped the county. The opening of the book lays the groundwork for understanding Lancashire's geographical boundaries and significant divisions, such as its hundreds and parishes. Fishwick discusses the challenges he faced in condensing a vast amount of research material into a single volume, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and reliability in the historical facts presented. The introduction not only outlines the physical layout of the county but also sets the stage for a deeper exploration of its history, promising to delve into various eras and notable events that have defined Lancashire's identity over the centuries.
