Salisbury Cathedral. A Sacred Poem by a Salisbury Curate [Kev. 

 S. J. Buchanan]. Cr. 8vo. Salisbury. 1895. This is a pamphlet of 14pp. 

 of verse in praise of the Cathedral and its spire as a witness and monument of 

 the Christian faith. 



Sermon preached in the Parish Church at Britford — on the occasion 

 of the death of John Gray Attwater — by the Eev. A. P. Morres. 

 A cr. 8vo pamphlet of 14 pp. Salisbury. 1895. 



The Wilts Visitation of 1565 is continued in the July number of The 

 Genealogist from Bulkeley of Whiteparish, to Eyre of New Sarum. 



Downton. Notes on the First Parish Register Book, by Pev. J. 

 K. Floyer. Salisbury Journal, Aug. 10th, 1895. The register books begin 

 in 1599, and contain some interesting entries of the Raleigh family, of the 

 deaths from the plague, &c. The writer does not confine himself to the register, 

 however, but discourses on divers other points where the history of Downton in 

 any way touches the general history of the times in the seventeenth century. 



Alderbury. The Green Dragon Inn. Blaclc and White, Aug. 17th, 

 1895, has a short article on " Dickens' Blue Dragon," with three illustrations 

 — " Present Aspect of the Blue Dragon," "Mantelpiece in the Inn," and " St. 

 Mary's Grange, where Dickens lived." Dickens, in the last, is evidently a 

 misprint for Pecksniff. 



Sons of Fire. A story by Miss Braddon now running in the "Wiltshire 

 County Mirror has its scene laid at " Matcham lying in a hollow of the hills 

 between Salisbury and Andover," but its "local colouring" is of the very 

 faintest.

 Greene [J. L. Veitch]. Salisbury and London. 1895. Price Is. 



Noticed in Salisbury Journal, July 13th, 1895. A somewhat elaborate 

 political squib, in which several of Dickens' characters express their opinion on 

 the politics of the present day. It is written from the Unionist point of view.

 duced in raised letters for the blind in " Play -time," issued by the British

 notice in Church Bells, Sept. 27th, 1895, with a photo-process south-east 

 view of the Church and a woodcut portrait of Thomas Moore.
