From the preface: "Re-print from the Leigh Chronicle "Scrap Book," In the volumes will be found many Historical and Genealogical articles and facts which have never before appeared in print, and which, in all probability, would not now be accessible to the student of History but for the existence of the "Scrap Book." The value of the Notes in the re-printed form, will, it is hoped, be greatly increased by the addition of an Index, which, it will be seen, is a very copious one.
Many of the contributions are of great importance as hitherto unpublished contributions to the local history of Leigh Parish and the general history of the two great Counties of Lancaster and Chester."
