The Victoria History of Berkshire. Edited by P. H. Ditchfield

M.A., and William Page. Vol. L (A. Constable and Co. 4 vols. £6 Os. net.)—The scheme of the "Victoria County Histories," and, we may add, the character of its execution, are by this time sufficiently well known. We hope from time to time to give detailed notices of the volumes as they appear. For the present we must be content to record in general terms the appearance of the first instalment of the history of Berkshire.
