For those wishing to know: Francis Davy Longe was a Barrister and General 
Inspector of the Local Government Board, gave a series of lectures at 
Lowestoft, Suffolk, England, towards the end of the 19th century and they 
were printed, with additions, in this book.  Unlike the well-known 
historian of Lowestoft (Gillingwater), Francis manages to show Yarmouth in 
a good light, despite their turning to piracy etc. to thrawt Lowestoft's 
finishing ambitions.  The book is really only upto the early 1700's.

All the best and happy New Year,
