THE LOWER NORFOLK COUNTY VIR-
GINA ANTIQUARY. Edited by Ed
ward w. James. No. 2. Part 4. octave
40 pages.
This part, which is not less interesting
and valuable than its predecessors, COM
pletes the second volume of this occa-
siOnal publication, which has issued as the
spirit moved" the compiler, without any
regularity as to time. In total of some
800 pages Mr.. James has preserved and
thoroughly indexed much that will be of
great value to the historical student,
which, from It's ephemeral sources. might
else have been lost. His careful and
intelligent labors should be appreciated
not only by the people Of the territory
contiguous to Norfolk. but by students
of the history of Virginia everywhere.
The account OF Mrs. Helen Read, which
he has been publishing from the manu-
script in the State Library. Is an ex-
ceedingly interesting narrative.
