[Hooray!! Valentine (Undated) is all done and dusted! Fully transcribed - all the folkloric bits anyway.
4 books now entirely done...
About half way through I found out that this book does have a date! It is 1893. However as I had already posted so many posts I stuck to "(undated)" as the date.
Picturesque England
Its Landmarks and Historic Haunts,
as described in Lay and legend,
Song and Story

(Undated)
This accompanying text from Matthew Spong who put this onto the internet -
I found this volume on a table at a church fete in Beecroft when I was around 14 years old. It was scanned from the original volume, converted to text, corrected and converted into a website over a long period from 1999 to 2004. The work was begun on a Powermac 8100 and finished on a generic PC running Red Hat Linux. I would like to dedicate this work to the memory of my father Neill Spong, who never went to England, had no interest in English history, but who loved old books and respected hard work and perseverence.

DONE!
Only question now - where to next?]
