the whole, we are disposed to regard ' Legendary Lore' as the best portion of the work.

Starlight Stories. By Hob. Illustrated by Dorothy

Hilton. (De La More Press.)

THIS collection of fairy stories is readable and agreeable. The illustrations of Dorothy Hilton those in colour especially render the volume con- taining them attractive.

Author and Printer. By F. Howard Collins.

(Frowde.)

THIS useful little book, in praise of which we spoke warmly at 10 th S. iii. 379, has speedily reached a second edition. It is a work of composite labour, the best correctors of the press having assisted in its compilation. To printers, compositors, &c., it should be invaluable ; and there are few writers who will not be thankful for its information or its hints.

The Law and Practice of Change of Name. By

W. P. W. Phillimore, M.A. (Phillimore & Co.) MR. PHILLIMORE has hit upon* a happy idea, and executed well a useful task. Besides being of high service to all who seek a change of name, it supplies a very useful list of cases and precedents, and is at once readable and authoritative.

A Guide to Tidesvell and its Church. By the

Rev. J. M. J. Fletcher, M.A. (Tides well.) A THIRD edition has been issued of the Vicar of Tideswell's guide to his own parish and description of his own church, popularly known as the Cathedral of the Peak. It has a preface by Lord Hawkesbury, geological notes by Mr. H. Arnold Bern rose, M.A., numerous illustrations, is well written, and of special interest to residents in and visitors to the district.

To our own regret, and to that of many of our readers, a familiar name must vanish from our columns. After an illness extending over three months, Mr. Everard Home Coleman, F.R.G.S., F.R.A.S., c., the oldest member of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society, died on Sun- day last at his residence, 71, Brecknock Road, N. Born in 1818, the deceased gentleman was the son of an officer in the H.E LC.S. He was educated at Christ's Hospital in the Charles II. Mathematical School. By special appointment of William IV., he joined the Admiralty, where he remained five years, serving fifty years under the Board of Trade as Assistant Registrar of Shipping and Seamen, from which position he was pensioned over seven- teen years ago. Owing to an accident in early life, Mr. Coleman was prevented from qualifying for the navy. A full account of his observations and experiences at Christ's Hospital, which he entered in June, 1S27, appeared in The City Press for 16 Oct., 1901. The names customarily employed were those of his godfather, the famous surgeon Sir Everard Home. Up to his last disqualifying illness Mr. Coleman took an active delight in though his earliest article cannot be traced. The list of his contributions to the Ninth Series fills nearly seven columns of the General Index to that series. He seems to have formed with special diligence extra indexes to names and contributions in earlier series.
