FOOTNOTES.
{13} We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr. G. F. Ward, of the General
Manager’s Office, and Mr. H. Parker, the indefatigable Goods Manager, for
the above statistics of this mammoth establishment.
{77} While these sheets were waiting for the press, the hand of death
has removed our friend, the Rev. W. H. Massie, to his reward in heaven.
Of him it may truly be said, that, having done his Master’s work upon
earth, he has now gone aloft to be partaker of His glory! May the mantle
of this modern Elijah fall on his successor, the Rev. C. Bowen! An
elegant stained glass window, raised by public subscription to the honour
of Mr. Massie, will shortly beautify the chancel of this Church.
{96} See an article on the Chester Registry in Dickens’ “Household
Words,” entitled the “Doom of English Wills.”
{34} The page is disfigured at this point and the text is not present.
Transcription is best guess based on similar advertisements.—DP.
