TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY. VOL X

Liverpool : Adam Holden, 48, Church-street:

We have no better proof of the high service which our
Historic Society affords in rescuing and illustrating the
archeology of the district, than in the valuable papers
which are read before that body, and the principal of
which are comprised in the " Transactions " which com-
pose the present volume. Amongst the leading papers
we find a historical sketch of the once-celebrated War-
rington Academy, including many curious particulars of
the several eminent men who have figured as its princi-
pals ; some elaborate tables on the population of Lanca-
shire and Cheshire, and its local distribution during the
first half of the present century ; on the arming of levies
in the Hundred of Wirral, and the introduction of fire-
arms in the place of bows and arrows, by Mr. Mayer ;
there is a very valuable contribution on Runic inscrip-
tions by Mr. A. Craig Gibson; and a most informing
paper, exhibiting extraording research, on Geographical
Terms, considered as tending to enrich the English
Language, by the Rev. Dr. Hume. The same gentle-
man also supplies a short paper, but full of most curious
information, respecting the ancient outline of the Sea
Coast of Cheshire, which shows the great changes which
have taken place in the course of centuries, by the action
of the sea in our own immediate neighbourhood. Mr.
Hughes contributes a complete history, from its early
origin, of the Blue-coat Hospital, and which abounds
in interesting local details. There are also papers by
Mr. Hartnup and Mr. Towson, on the Great Comet of
1858. Several of the papers are very beautifully illustrated,
and the work altogether has been brought outin most
creditable style. ,

OFFICIAL ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO TEE GREAT WES-
TERN RAILWAY. London : Griffin and Co. Liver•

pool : Edward Howell, Church-street.
Beyond all exception we should suppose that this is
the cheapest work ever issued from the English press.
It is a bulky volume of upwards of 870 pages of descrip-
tive letterpress, is adorned with 350 engravings, and its
selling price is one shilling ! The work is a wade mecum
fore very tourist along the many points of interest touched
by the Great Western and contiguous lines; and well-
written and carefully compiled, contains a fund of local
history not elsewhere to be met with in a collective
form. Due space is accorded to Liverpool and its lions,
and every town of importance in the South-wpst of
England receives more than a passing notice. We have
no doubt it will have a most extensive sale, and we are
sure that the' expectations of every purchaser will be
more than -satisfied.

' "OUR RIFLE VOLUNTEERS."
Mr. R. Andrews, of Manchester, has edited, arranged,
and partly composed a large number of national and
patriotic songs, the last of which we have just received,
viz., " Our Rifle Volunteers." " The words of the song
are irrittem by A. R. Ifoulston, Esq. The melody is
spiritedomd :the music is well arranged.
