Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of Manchester Streets It has been observed by the favourite author of Our Village, that she valued much less any reputation she might gain as a writer of romance, than the credit to be derived from the less ambitious, but more useful, office of faithfully uniting and preserving those fragments of tradi tion, experience, and biography which give to history its living interest. To this article of Miss Mitford's literary creed the writer of Memorials of Manchester Streets is disposed to subscribe. The series of chapters here presented was commenced in the Manchester Guardian six years ago, and has been continued at convenient intervals to a recent date. In its collective form, the book has undergone careful revision, extension, and re-arrangement, in order that itmay be found reliable for reference and interesting to peruse. In furtherance of the same endeavour, numerous illustrations, original or rare, have been introduced. In these illustrations the writer feels a certain amount of confidence which the letterpress alone might fail to engender. Their interest will take a wider range. In addition to the connoisseurs who will prize them for their antiquity, and increase the number in compliment to the old town, many unlearned yet inquiring spirits will read the pictures with pleasure, though unable to peruse the author's portion of the volume. Even in this lettered age, not all are lettered; and with the untaught the eye must be purveyor-in-ordinary to the intellect. Hence the value of characteristic engravings, which, telling their own inter esting story, require no formal teacher.
