Locei. patriotism shoien in and' fostered by local historical work

has always had our strong support, and we have rejoiced

to see the encobragement which the Times has lately been giving to it. To those who can do anything of the kind in

their own neighbourhoods we recommend this revised edition of Miss Wake's admirable pamphlet, designed originally to help Women's Institutes that were willing to gather records of the past and to preserve contemporary history. By all means let the Institutes use it in her county and elsewhere, but it is worth the attention of many others besides.
