reach of the many; but the volume now before us will,
to a great extent, supply the deficiency, and meet an
acknowledged want, viz., a work of easy reference, ob-
tainable at a reasonable cost, and comprised within a
moderate compass, but, at the same time, not sacrificing
for these objects correctness or the necessary fulness of
detail. We regret to read the charge of plagiarism
brought by the author against the late Dr. Hook in his
preface, but this is a matter which others will better
deal with. The volume claims to be little more than
simply an outline, or sketch book, preparatory to the
more elaborate works on the subject, and as such it will
be found of very great value. It is, as indeed we might
expect, much fuller and more up to date in all points
connected with the American Church than with the
English and Irish; in fact, the short article on the last
does not appear to differ at all from what was written in
1839. There is no reference to the disestablishment
of the Irish Church. There are, too, not a few words
and technicalities omitted from the body of the work,
which we should miss greatly were it not that the defi-
ciencies are in nearly every case supplied by the very
useful appendix, which contains definitions from Mr.
Orby Shipley's Glossary of Ecclesiastical Terms. A full
and complete index is a welcome feature in the work,
and enables the student to find what he wants without
any trouble.

MESSRS. LONGMANS have issued, by Lady Brassey's permission, an edition, price sixpence, of the popular Voyage in the Sunbeam. It is thus brought within the reach of all for whom the record of travel in foreign lands has any interest.

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION (continued from p. 240).-The remainder of the four days' meeting was occupied in the following manner. On Thursday morning (Sept. 15) the constitution of the Association was overhauled in a committee of all the members, and a number of altera tions agreed to. Cataloguing rules were again taken up, and some further progress made in the compilation of a code which could be generally accepted. Papers were read by Mr. Robert Harrison on the limitation of the contents of libraries by the elimination of obsolete works, by Mr. H. B. Wheatley on the authorship of academical dissertations, and by Mr. Cornelius Walford on a plan for the preparation of a catalogue of British periodical literature. The report of a committee on the training of library assistants was to have been a prominent feature in the day's work, but the proposal to adopt a system of examination did not appear to meet with general approval, and the report was "received" but not adopted. A visit was paid to Stationers' Hall, where the famous registers were inspected, and a short account of them given by Mr. C. R. Rivington.

On Friday Mr. William Archer, librarian of the National Library of Ireland, offered some suggestions as to public library buildings, and condemned the common form of library, consisting of large rooms with high wall cases. The irrepressible Sunday question made its appearance, but a resolution in favour of the principle of opening public libraries on Sunday was only supported by the mover and seconder of the resolution. The remainder of the sitting was occupied by the purely business matters of motions, election of officers, votes of thanks, &c. The meeting wound up with a visit to the new Public Library at Richmond.

A SOCIETY is now being formed with the object of preserving the memorials of the dead in the country Among those churchyards of England and Wales. who have expressed their sympathy with the movement are the Earl Beauchamp, the Earl of Car

narvon, the Earl of Northesk, the Earl of Glasgow, the
Lord Talbot de Malahide, the Bishop of Ely, the Bishop
of Argyll and the Isles, the Rt. Hon. A. J. Beresford
Hope, M.P., Stanley Leighton, Esq., M.P., &c. Further
information on the subject can be obtained from Mr.
W. Vincent, Belle Vue Rise, Lower Hellesdon Road,
Norwich.

THE forthcoming number of the Sacristy will contain,
inter alia, a letter from Mr. George R. Wright, F.S.A.,
one of the honorary secretaries of the British Archæolo-
gical Association, referring to sundry statements made
by Mr. J. H. Parker in a recent contribution to the
Antiquary.

THE late Mr. James Thorne, whose death occurred
was a veteran in the world of letters. At an early age
about a fortnight ago, in the sixty-sixth year of his age,
he contributed short antiquarian and topographical
other publications. Between the years 1844 and 1849
articles to the Mirror, the Gentleman's Magasine, and
he published in Charles Knight's series of "Weekly
Volumes" his Rambles by Rivers, a pleasant and valuable
contribution to English topography. His Handbook to
the Environs of London, a book well-nigh exhaustive of
the subject of which it treats, was issued by Mr. Murray
Society of Antiquaries of many years' standing.

rity in numismatic circles. He was born July 5, 1852.
