INTRODUCTION

In September 1776 Henry Thrale of Streatham gave to his wife Hester six imposing quarto volumes, the covers of undressed calf and the pages blank. On each was displayed the title Thraliana stamped on gold upon a red label. By filling these blank pages with most erudite literature, Hester Lynch Thrale entered the realms of immortality, sharing it with her devoted friend Dr. Samuel Johnson and some of their contemporaries. Yet Hester's Thraliana could not record that which she did not know, and this New Thraliana attempts to rectify this omission in history by telling the tale of a yeoman Hertfordshire family and of the people amongst whom they have dwelt for centuries.
