Overview

Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 32: A Magazine Devoted to the Study of the Past A society for the publication of parish regis ters has just been formed, with Lord Hawkes bury as its chairman, and the two English archbishops and some of the bishops among its patrons. The intention is, that as soon as a hundred members can be found sub scribing a guinea a year, a beginning shall be made. Five registers a year might then, it is said, be issued in royal octavo volumes of strong, hand-made paper and it is hoped that the work would so commend itself as to be presently taken up in a larger way. However this may be, to make a beginning is the chief thing. The originators of the scheme believe that the irreparable losses bewailed by anti quarles and students are not of the past only, but continuing and they consider that local feeling and local resources are not to be relied upon to arrest them. Mr. E. A. Fry, of Birmingham, is the secretary. At the recent annual meeting of the East Riding Archaeological Society, the Rev. E. Maule Cole, m.a., Vicar of Wetwang, was elected president, in the room of Dr. Cox, who, having left Yorkshire, had tendered his resignation.
