Excerpt from Records of Walmer: Together With "the Three Castles That Keep the Downs"<br><br>My reasons for including, to the extent that I have included them, the three Castles, and not merely W'almer Castle, will be sufficiently obvious to all who take up this book. The history of the Castles on the Downs is so inseparably intertwined, that, down to a certain point, they could be dealt with in no other way but collectively.<br><br>The Chapters on the Castles will also be found to contain a good deal that is not exclusively of a local character, particularly in the details of the Insurrection in Kent already referred to; but this, too, was inevitable, in order to elucidate the doings in our own immediate locality.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
