high mortality in Much Woolton is at-
tributed to the overcrowding of the houses with low Irish
occupants, the overcrowding of the streets, and the want
of sanitary measures for the health and comfort of the
place. The prevailing diseases are those which generally
originate under such circumstances, e.g.—Fevers, exan-
themata, diarrhoea, and dysentery, and consumption may
be added to this list.

Childwall Churchyard.—The burial ground of nine
townships, situated on a hill side. How many bodies
have been buried in this plot of ground it would be diffi-
cult to calculate, with any degree of accuracy, but the
number reaches to several thousands. The level of the

surface, over the w

Vocal Music. By C. D. Hackett, B. Mus. Oxen

Lon-don

Jos. Surman

This is a rudimentary work, characterised by
simplicity. Those who study it carefully will learn
much, and find themselves in the position of choral
singers advancing to the practice of the standard
music of our great masters. There is not a super-
fluous word, and as an elementary work it is suffi-
ciently full and excellent.

The prettily-written series

of articles on the Port-Royal is sure to interest, and
carmot fail to quicken in us the love of spiritual
truth. The story is brought down to the death of
Mother Angelica and the persecutions of the Port-
Royalists. The Bulwark (London : Seeleys), and
the Protestant Mag.azine (London : Shaw) scarcely
require commendation ; their zeal is undiminished,
