 Burial Bill/' "Railway Mismanagement" (2), "The 

 American Revival/' " Small Incumbencies," " Post 

 Office Grievances," "Our Sea-Birds," "North-Eastern 

 Railway," "Dr. Livingstone," "Farm Servants," 

 "The Illiberals," "Altar v. Table and Table v.

 "Ffoulkes v. Manning," "The Potato Disease," 

 "The late Archbishop of York," "Parish Registers," 

 "Highway Districts," "Stack-Burning," "Church

 Observance," "Badness of Trade," "The Use of 

 the Conjunction," " Price of Meat," " Experiments

 "The Sparrow," "Free Education," "The Evolu-

 Farming," "Foxes v. Farmers," "School Work
