THE ANNUAL REGISTER.
A Review of Public Events at Home and Abroad
for the Year 1891.
The First Portion of this volume (pp. 1-247) is devoted to a
Résumé of the Political History of England during the year
1891. The events of Parliamentary Life are noted, and the
principal speeches summarized. Foreign and Colonial His-
Chronological Summary is given of the principal events of
the year, both foreign and domestic; this is followed by a
Retrospect of Literature, Science, and Art, and an Obituary
of Eminent Persons. A full Index is added, which is an im-
portant feature of the book, and adds very materially to its
value as a work of reference.

Athenaum:-"These ballads are spirited and stirring: such are 'The
Fall of Harald Hardrada,' Old Benbow,' Marston Moor,' and 'Corporal
John,' the soldier's name for the famous Duke of Marlborough, which is
a specially good ballad. Queen Eleanor's Vengeance' is a vividly told
story. Coming to more modern times, 'The Deeds of Wellington,'
Inkerman,' and 'Balaklava' are excellently well said and sung. As a
book of ballads, interesting to all who have British blood in their veins,
Dr. Bennett's contribution will be welcome. Dr. Bennett's Ballads will
leave a strong impression on the memory of those who read them."

ments render them well worthy of trial in all diseases of the respiratory
organs. In common colds and influenza the Pills, taken internally, and
the Ointment rubbed over the chest and throat, are exceedingly effi-
cacious. When influenza is epidemic, this treatment is the easiest.
safest, and surest. Holloway's Pills purify the blood, remove all
obstacles to its free circulation through the lungs, relieve the engorged
air tubes, and render respiration free, without reducing the strength,
irritating the nerves, or depressing the spirits; such are the surest
means of saving suffering when any one is afflicted with colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and other chest complaints, by which so many persons are
seriously and permanently afflicted in most countries.

ON CHANGES OF FASHION IN BAPTISMAL
NAMES.
Various notes have appeared from time to time
in N. & Q.' having indirect bearing on this sub-
ject, but none, so far as I know, setting out any
exact comparison of names in use at different
periods. I do not, therefore, seek to connect this
note with anything that has gone before, but in
examining the registers of this parish (namely,
of Lapworth, twelve miles from Birmingham) over
a long period of years, it seemed to me that such
a comparison as I now make would be of general
interest, and might be thought worthy of the rather
extended space it must occupy in the only paper
to which it seems by right to belong.

it becomes differentiated into Francis and Frances

Until within the last generation, when to some
little extent suburban Birmingham has begun to William
encroach upon it, the parish has been a purely
agricultural one, subject, perhaps, as little to ex-
ternal influences as any in the country, so that
probably the inferences drawn from its registers
may be taken to be deducible from most other
registers of country villages.

In all twenty names. In the previous century we had the form Phillippe as a male name, we now have Phillip as a female name.
The following lists give an analysis of a hundred
male and a hundred female names conferred in
baptism in four consecutive periods as nearly as
practicable a hundred years apart, such names
being taken from the registers exactly in the order | Benjamin
