I have not been very successful in ascertaining 

 the dates of the works by Archdeacon Kirkby, 

 who writes me concerning them as follows; 

 " Being i)rinted, for the most part, in Englaud, 

 with no one to correct the jiroofs, many errors 

 crept in, and in stmie cases two or tliree editions 

 had to be printed before wo could get them 

 even approximately correct. In this "w ay the 

 • same book was printed two or three times, 

 which would givii to it so many dates." 



William W. Kirkby was horn at Ham- 

 ford, Lincolnshire, in 1827, aud i-eceived his 

 earlier education at a grammar school. When 

 about 18 years old he went to the diocesan 

 school at Litchfield to prepare for the duties 

 of a teacher, which he desired to become. His 

 stay at Litclitield was very haj)py, and after 

 two years his friend, the Rev. C. C. Layard, rec- 

 tor of Maytield, Slaflbrdshire, oflered him the 

 mastership of the village national school, which 

 Mr. Kirkby accepted. Whilst there a strong 

 d(\sire to enter the mission tield came into his 

 mind, aud he otfered his services to the secre- 

 tary of the church missionary society. The 

 otter was accepted, and iu the spring of 1851 

 Mr. Kirkby entered St. John's College, London, 

 to ])ni)are for his new duties. In May, 1852, a 

 . sudden call camo for a teacher to go at once to 

 Red River, and the committee selected Mr. 

 Kirkby for the post. He had not yet completeil 

 his studies, but on the 6th of June of that year 

 embarked on the Hudson Bay Company's ship, 

 taking his bride of a few days witV him, for 

 Red River. The voyage was made in safety, 

 aud t\u' young couple reached their destination 

 the 12th of October, and iu a few days after-
