Review by G. D. Johnston in Sussex Notes and Queries, February 1948:This (as the Author says) does not purport to be a History of Horsham or Sussex; it is a collection of nine articles on different subjects, which must represent the labour of a lifetime devoted to collection of information, and all those interested in Sussex owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Albery for the preservation of the material and its publication in a form available to the general public.
Part I (the Manor and Borough) is a valuable collection of information; but the undated script (p. 28) stated by the Author to be in 14th century style and dated by him as the 16th century, reads more like the flamboyant style of the later 18th century, and the reference to the River as the Arun shows it cannot be earlier than Stuart times. Part II (Horsham Common) is marred by the expression of the Author's views as if they were undoubted facts. Part III (Crime and Punishment) contains little new or peculiar to Sussex. Part IV (the County Goal), Part V (Quaker Persecutions), Part VI (Smuggling), Part VII (Napoleonic Wars) and Part VIII (The 1830 rioting) are interesting collections of materials. Part X (Transport) is only a summary of comparatively recent history; for instance there is no reference to the older roads such as that through Denne Park.
