Parish Registers and Parochial Documents in the Archdeaconry of Winchester.

Edited by Archdeacon Fearon and J. F. Williams, M.A. (Warren and Son, Winchester. 5s. net.)—A most praise- worthy effort for the preservation and general good keeping of parish documents in the Winchester diocese. The result is that they are now for the most part well cared for and secured, not only from decay, but from the various accidents to which they were liable. This volume gives us a connected idea of the docu- ments as they now exist. The light which they throw on social history is of the greatest value.
