“Really a work of art. The slabs selected by the author for her
well-drawn illustrations number about seventy. In the introductory
chapters a good deal of information is given which will help visitors to
churches where these monuments of piety have escaped the spoilers’ hands
to fix approximately the dates of the slab. We almost believe that some
of the parish priests, who at present are not much inclined to value
such treasures, may be led to take more care of them if they will learn
from Miss Styan what there is to admire in them.”—_Church Times._

The work is the outcome of the excavation of the site of this Roman
Fort by the Cardiff Naturalists’ Society in the years 1899, 1900, and
1901.
“Mr. Ward, evidently, has spared no pains to give the fullest and
clearest description of these interesting remains, and the
illustrations, of which there are a large number, are excellent. They
are illustrations in the truest sense of the word.”—_Border Counties
Advertiser._

=THE REGISTERS OF THE PARISH OF ASKHAM, IN THE COUNTY OF WESTMORELAND=,
from 1566 to 1812. Copied by MARY E. NOBLE, Editor of the “Bampton
Parish Registers” and Author of “A History of Bampton.” Demy 8vo,
cloth, price =21/-= net.
These Registers contain many interesting entries of the Sandford,
Myddleton, Collinson, Bowman, Law, Holme, Wilkinson, and Langhorne
families, and others, and some reference to Parochial events. A list
of Vicars is included, and some Local Notes.
“Miss Noble has followed up her admirable edition of the “Bampton Parish
Registers” by copying and publishing the Registers of the adjoining
parish of Askham, which go back to the year 1566. She has discharged her
self-imposed task with her accustomed care and ability, and the
handsomely printed and substantially bound volume of 250 pages is not
merely a record of marryings, buryings, and christenings in this ancient
parish ... but a valuable contribution to the history of the border
land.”—_The Carlisle Patriot._
