    BYGONE ENGLAND, Social Studies in its Historic Byways and Highways, By william ANDREWS. “Of interest alike to the antiquary and general reader is ‘ Bygone England,' a book from the able pen of Mr. William Andrews, devoted to the consideration of some of the phases of the social life of this country in the olden time.”—Whitehall Review. “A very readable and instructive volume.”—TAc Globe. “ Many are the subjects of interest introduced into this chatty volume.”—Saturday Review. “ There is a large mass of information in this capital volume, and it is so pleasantly put, that many will be tempted to .study it. Mr. Andrews has done his work with great skill.”—London Quarterly Review. “ We welcome ‘ Bygone England.’ It is another of Mr. Andrews’ nieritorious achievements in the path of popularising archaeological and old-time information without in any way writing down to an ignoble level.”—The Antiquary. “ A delightful volume for all who love to dive into the origin of social habits and customs, and to penetrate into the byways of h\story.”~Liverpool Daily Post. “ ‘ A delightful book,’ is the verdict that the reader will give after a perusal of its pages. Mr. Andrews has presented to us in a very pleasing form some phases of the social life of England in the olden time.”—Publishers' Circular. “ Some of the chapters are very interesting, and are most useful for those who desire to know the origin and history of some of our daily practices and amusements.”—The World. In recommending this book to the general public, we do so, feeling confident that within its pages they will find much that is worth knowing, that they will never find their interest flag, nor their curiosity ungratified.”—//ull Daily Sews.
