336 BEETLES AT THEDDLETHORPE, LINCOLNSHIRE. 
of Canterbury, Edward White Benson, D.D., comes of an old 
Nidderdale family, and is ‘the first Benson of the line who for more 
than soo years has been born out of Yorkshire.’ A full pedigree is 
given of the family, dating from Thomas (died 1496), of the Lodge 
of Branga, Fountains Abbey, to the present date, many of whom 
are of Pateley Bridge. We must, however, refrain, trusting that we 
have written enough to ensure that every intelligent Yorkshireman 
who cares for the records and scenery of his native county—and 
which of us does not !—will make himself the possessor of this 
work. We add in conclusion that the volume is profusely illustrated, 
contains a capital map of the district, and a good peabree which, 
however, might have been enlarged to good purpose.—C-. P.
