In the Victoria History of the Counties of England," edited
by William Page, F.S.A. (Constable and Co., £1 lls. 6d. net each volume), we have Vol. IV. of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The volume is devoted to accounts of twenty hundreds and various liberties. The work has been distributed among a considerable number of experts. Under each hundred we have an account of the descent of the manor and of each of the parishes constituting it. It is scarcely possible to give a due appreciation of the labour and painstaking industry to which we owe these very complete results. Vol. IV. of The County of Lancaster, in the same series, edited by William Farrer, continues from the preceding volume the account of the hundreds, beginning with West Derby, and Liverpool, Wigan, Manchester, Salford, and Eccles are subsequently dealt with.
