CAPT. COOK MEMORIAL (11 S. iii. 165, 232, 295). Through the kindness of a friend I am now enabled to give the following particulars concerning the Memorial on Easby Moor. It consists of a grey stone column, starting with a width of 12 ft. at the base, and running up in a slender shape to a height of 51 ft. The obelisk is hollow, and at the eastern side is an acutely pointed Gothic doorway. On the western side is a tablet bearing the following inscription :

" Erected to the memory of the celebrated Circumnavigator, Captain James Cook, F.B.S., a man in nautical skill scarcely inferior to any, and in zeal, prudence, and indefatigable exertion superior to most. Regardless of personal danger he opened an intercourse with the inhabitants of the Society Islands and other portions of the Southern Hemisphere. He was born at Marton in this neighbourhood, 27th October, 1728, and was massacred at Owhyhee 14th January, 1779, to the unspeakable grief and disappointment of his countrymen. While the sciences in general, and navigation in particular, shall be cultivated amongst men, while the spirit of enterprise, commerce, and philanthropy shall animate the sons of Britain, whilst it shall be deemed the high honour of a Christian nation to spread the enjoyments of civilized life and the higher blessings of the Christian faith among Pagan and savage tribes, so long will the name of Captain Cook stand enrolled among the most celebrated and most admired of the benefactors of the human race. As a token of respect for, and admiration of, the character and labours of this truly great man, who served his apprenticeship to sea from Whitby, this monument was erected by Robert Campion, Esq., of Whitby, and Lord of the

Manor of Easby. The foundation stone was laid by him 12th July, 1827, being the anniversary 1 of the day on which Captain Cook commenced his last voyage, and of the birth of the founder ; and it 'was finished 27th October, 1827, being Captain Cook's birthday, and wanting only one year to complete the centenary."

On the wall of the Cook Memorial School at Merton, Yorkshire, is a tablet inscribed as follows :

To the memory of

Captain James Cook

who was born in this parish

Oct. 27th, 1728. This tablet was erected by the parishioners of

Marton A.D. 1812.

Re-erected here at the

building of the Memorial School

A.D. 1850.

In the copy of Capt. Cook's marriage extracted from the Barking registers^ the name of the third witness is given as " W m Everitt." I. have before me a facsimile (photograph) of the entry in the register, in which the name clearly appears as " W m Everrest." Perhaps the discrepancy is of little moment ; still, for the sake of accuracy, I make the correction.

' CHURCH HISTOBIANS OF ENGLAND ' (11 S. iii. 308). With regard to the publica- tion of ' The Church Historians of England,' which was commenced nearly sixty years ago, we are not able to give much infor- mation. A few years later the series ceased to be the property of the firm, and sub- sequently the stock was handed over by us. Of the total number of volumes issued we have not at this distance of time a clear recollection. SEELEY & Co., LTD.

38, Great Russell Street, W.C.

Of the " Pre-Reformation Series " part i. of vol. i. and part ii. of vol. v. were never published.

Of the " Reformation Series," consisting of Foxe only, all the parts of the eight volumes were published, but part i. of vol. i. appeared later than the other parts. See 7 S. viii. 128, 235.

My authority for my reply at the latter reference was a letter, dated 12 March, 1883, written to me by Mr. G. Seeley. As I then said, " I am without part i. of vol. i. of the ' Reformation Series,' which I much wish that I could get."
