NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 265. 



coursing now, not of tlie comforts of the inner, but of 

 those of the outward man, has in his Habits and Men, 

 with Remnants of Record touching the Makers of both, given 

 us a volume which answers exactly to what Horace Wal- 

 pole so happily defined as " lounging books." For from 

 its arrangement it will admit of being taken up at any 

 time, and opened at any place, with a certainty of finding 

 it a pleasant companion. Had Dr. Doran only given his 

 authorities and an index, we should have looked upon it 

 as our Handbook on all Queries touching the habits of 

 men which we are destined to receive from this day for- 

 ward. 



The Rev. John Booker, B.A., acting on the suggestion 

 thrown out by White in his Selborne, that if stationary 

 men would publish what they know of their own neigh- 

 bourhoods, they would furnish the best materials for 

 county histories, has chosen the scene of his earliest 

 ministrations for such an object; and has given us, in a 

 History of the Ancient Chapel of Blackley in Manchester 

 Parish, a very valuable contribution to the history of 

 Manchester, ecclesiastical as well as civil. To show how 

 many curious materials Mr. Booker has hung upon the 

 peg which he has chosen, we will give the remainder of 

 his title-page, which tells us that the work includes — 

 Sketches of the Townships of Blackley, Harpurhey, Mas- 

 ton, and Crumpsall, together with Notices of the more 

 Ancient Local Families, and Particulars relating to the 

 Descent of their Estates.
