For those wishing to know: Richard Brooke (1791-1861) was an antiquarian, 
very interested in the Wars of the Roses and he would visit the places of 
many of the famous battles, often to work out points which the historians 
had passed over.  The text is generally very readable and interesting, and 
the footnotes are copious and very detailed.  I've read a few modern books 
on the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403 (the first he covers), and they all 
cite Brooke, and owe a great deal to him.

All the best,
David
