Memorials of Old Lancashire. Edited by Lt.-Col. Fishwick and Rev. 

 P. H. Ditchfield. Bemrose & Sons, Derby. 2 volumes, 280 and 314 pp., 

 25/- net. 



It would be difficult to find a greater contrast than between the Lanca- 

 shire, so charmingly described in these beautiful volumes, and the Lanca- 

 shire one sees from the railway carriage windows whilst travelling through 

 that county to-day. But the difference is due to the fact that the books 

 deal with old Lancashire ; and also to the circumstance that in walking 

 through these old fields, we have as guides such well-known and well- 

 informed antiquaries as Col. Fishwick and the Rev. Ditchfield. Both these 

 gentlemen have made the past history of Lancashire their special study ; 

 and are consequently the best qualified of editors. They have also written 

 a good share of the chapters. Amongst many other contributors we notice 

 the nam.es of Dr. J. C. Cox, Prof. Collingwood, and Mr. Aymer Vallance. 



We can quite understand that in dealing with a county like Lancashire, 

 it was impossible to confine the matter to a single volume, as is the case with 

 most of this series. The marvel is that so much has been included in these 

 two. Col. Fishwick leads off with ' Historic Lancashire ' ; this is followed 

 by a concise and carefully-written account of ' The Romans in Lancashire ', 

 in which are figured the well-known bronze helmet and gold fibula found at 

 Ribchester. Now that the Roman occupation of the county is to the fore, 

 this summary is especially opportune. Cartmel Priory, the Old Church of 

 Manchester, Lancashire Legends, Castles and Fortified Houses, Old Wigan, 

 Furness Abbey, The Crosses of Lancashire, Heysham, Roods, Screens and 

 Lofts, Ancient Fonts, etc., etc., are some of the subjects dealt with in the 

 thirty odd chapters. The value of the volumes is considerably increased 

 by the wealth of carefully-chosen illustrations, and there is a good index. 

 The books are well printed on good paper, and are nice to handle — a yearly 

 rarer feature with books of this character.
