Excerpt from Scrivelsby, the Home of the Champions: With Some Account of the Marmion and Dymoke Families, Illustrated<br><br>It is not, however, the object of this work to dwell upon the history of the Marmions and Dymokes, apart from their connection with Scrivelsby and the Championship; much less does it propose to search out and follow up the offshoots and collateral branches of the two families, in their various settlements, in England or abroad. But, even in this restricted area, it ought to be possible to excite the interest, not only of the residents in the neighbourhood, but of that select circle, also, amongst the general public, to whom the bye paths of history, and antiquarian research are always attractive.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
