I havenotbeenvery successful in ascertaining 

 the dates of the works by Arelideacon Kirkby, 

 who writes me concerning them a.s follows : 

 " Being printed, for the most part, in England, 

 with no one to correct the proofs, many errors 

 (■rejit in, and in some cases two or three editions 

 had to be printed before we conld get them 

 even approximately correct. In this way the 

 same book was jirinted two or three times, 

 which would give to it so many dates." 



William "W. Kirkby was horn at Ham- 

 ford, I<incolnshire, in 1827, and received his 

 earlier ediu'ation at ii grammar school. When 

 about 18 .veans old he went to the dio<esan 

 school at Litchtield to ])re])are for the duties 

 of a teacher, which he desired to become. His 

 stay at Liti'hfield was very happy, and after 

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

 tor of Mayfleld, Staffordshire, offered him the 

 niastershipof the village national school, which 

 Mr. Kirkby accepted. Whilst there a strong 

 desire to enter the mission field came into his 

 mind, and he offered his services to the secre- 

 ■ tary of the church missionary society. The 

 oti'er was accepted, and in the spring of 1851 

 Mr. Kirkby entered St. John's C(dlege, London, 

 to jirepare for his new duties. In May, 1852, a 

 sudden call came for a teacher to go at once to 

 Red River, and the committee selected Mr. 

 Ki rkby for the post. He had not yet completed 

 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 with him, for 

 Red River. The voya.ge was made in .safety, 

 and t he young couple reached their destination 

 the 12th of 0<!tober, and iu a few days after-
