YORK TOURIST SOCIETY. 



' The York Tourist Society originated from a few friends 

 joining together in excursions to Castle Eden Dene or Dell, 

 in Durham, and the princely Chatsworth, in Derbyshire. 

 These visits took place in the year 1865, when Edward Wade, 

 Esq., J. P., was the Lord Mavor of the City of York, and 

 accompanied the party.' Mr." Wade was the President, and 

 Mr. Henry Brearey, Hon-Secretary. ' In course of time, the 

 Society gradually increased in numbers, and Mr. R. W. 

 \nderson has taken the place of Mr. Brearey as Hon. Secretary. 

 It was not until the Spring of 1873, that any Tourist Papers 

 were written, since then, however, the author, Dr. Procter, 

 Mr. G. C. Baskett, Mr. J. L. Foster, and others, have occasion- 

 ally illustrated the movements of the Society.' 



" The above particulars are taken from ' Tourist Rambles 

 in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Durham, Northumberland and 

 Derbyshire, by J. Brown, York, 1878.' 269 pp., a copy of 

 which has recently come into my possession. 



The first paper is ' Tours in Yorkshire,' an Address delivered 

 at the York Institute on November 21st, 1876. Other papers 

 deal with Wensleydale, Coningsboro' Castle, Wharfedale, 

 Durham and Northumberland, Scoreby Woods, Pickering 

 Castle, Lincolnshire, Saltburn, Teesdale, Durham, Derbyshire, 

 Crayke Castle, etc., Burton Picture Gallery, York Roman 

 City Wall, and the Eastern Question.
