The Parish and its Bounds. (Berney and Son, Croydon.)— Our

notice of this little pamphlet comes too late, we fear, to serve its purpose this year. Ascensiontide, the right season for the perambulation of parish bounds, is close upon us as we write. Anyhow, some interesting information has been gathered together and may well be found useful. Probably in these days of Ordnance Surveys, when every parish is exactly defined, there is no real dan- ger of losing territory. But an affection for local associations is not a thing to be despised, and this is one way of cultivating it.
