In the series of n Pocket County Histories " (Tylston
and Edwards and A. P. Marsden) we have Berkshire or Berkshire and Derbyshire, both compiled by Robert DodwelL There is too much " compilation " by far in these books. We must frankly say that it would be a mistake for any one who desired to have a useful companion in traversing either one of these counties to take these volumes in his pocket. That they will go into the pocket is their most conspicuous merit. There is little in them beyond notices, mostly of a dry kind, of persons more or less famous who have been connected with the various localities. — In English Minstreisie, collated and edited by S. Baring-Gould, M.A., the Airs arranged by H. Fleetwood Sheppard, M A, F. W. Russell, B.D., and W. H. Hopkinson (T. C. and E. C. Jack, Edinburgh), we have Vol. IV., containing, among other songs, "The Girl I Left Behind Me," " Hearts of Oak," " Meet Me by the Moonlight," "Tom Bowling," and "0 No, We Never Mention Her."
