Manchester College, Oxford, 1893. (Longmans.)—Manchester College had predecessors in the

Academy of Warrington and other academies of less renown. It began its work at Manchester in 1786, was removed to York in 1803. then back to Manchester, and to London in 1853. Its last and, we presume and hope, ita final emigration was to Oxford in 1889. There the hundred and fourth session (reckoning from the opening at Manchester) was begun ' in temporary premises. The completed building was opened in October, 1893, with ceremonies and addresses of which we have a record in this volume. An appendix gives the names of those who have worked in the College for more than two centuries,. beginning with Richard Frankland of Rathwell.
