PREFACE.
The Historic Society was founded, in May 1848, at a public meeting held in the Liverpool College, Shaw Street, the Mayor (T. B. Horsfall, Esq.) presiding. Its general object was to prepare materials, of as many kinds as possible, for future use in illustrating the History of either or botli the Counties on the banks of the Mersey ; or of particular portions of them. One of the leading principles of the Society was to issue a volume, including the Proceedings and Transactions, to its members annually. It was understood of course that these would vary in size and interest according to the quantity or quality of the matter. No promise has been more faithfully fulfilled by the Society than this one : the annual volume has been issued not merely without a single omission but promptly, at or near the close of each session : and the one for the session just closed is at this moment nearly all in type. It was thought at the same time that a moderate amount of illus tration would make the papers more acceptable; and the liberality of individual members in presenting numerous plates has made some of the earlier volumes unusually attractive. Several provincial Societies have followed the example of this one in printing an annual volume of octavo size : but none have shown the same long-sustained success in illustration. Five consecutive volumes contain an average of more than twenty-one plates ; and five others an average of more than seventeen. The first six volumes differ slightly from all the subsequent ones both in matter and form : as in the first place they are mainly archaeological, and in the second the Proceedings are not separated in them from the Papers. But the first twelve volumes form a first series by themselves, and the next twelve a second series. While Volume XXIV (Vol. XII, Second Series) was in the press, I resolved to prepare an Index which should show to new members the contents of back volumes which remain in stock, and which should afford some guide to inquirers in reference both to the subjects of papers, and the number and kind of illustrations. This information is contained in Parts I and II. A more complete Index, alphabetical, of topics and of proper names, extending to many thousands of references was not lost sight of, nor is the idea of it abandoned even now. But this appeared to be too great an undertaking for the present. Something, however, has been done in this way. Our Assistant-Secretary commenced the arrangement of the titles of papers in alphabetical order, and I brought up his materials to the form in which they now stand. Thus, Part III appears along with the other two. IV The following facts serve to give one some idea of the character of the various volumes. 1. In the first series, there are 218 plates, 93 woodcuts, and 14 maps ; and 46 per cent, of the papers are illustrated more or less. In the second series, there are 103 plates, 107 woodcuts, and 4 maps; and 84 per cent, of the papers are illustrated more or less. In the whole twenty-four volumes, comprised in both series, there is an average of 18 plates, 9 woodcuts, and 1 map. 2. In the first series, the smallest volume is No. Ill, which extends to only 164 pages : the largest is No. X, which extends to 890. The one in which there are fewest illustrations is No. I, which contains 9 plates and 18 woodcuts. The one which is most copiously illus trated is No. X, which has 27 plates, 3 woodcuts, and 2 maps. 8. In the second series, the smallest is No. XXIV, which contains only 230 printed pages ; the largest is No. XX, which contains 881. The one which is least illustrated is No. XXII, containing only 2 plates and 1 woodcut; that which is best illustrated is No. XX, containing 14 plates and 68 woodcuts. An analysis of Part II shows us 163 contributors, of whom only 46 now remain on the roll, viz. 40 ordinary and 6 honorary members. The communications read, (omitting 10 of the least-important kind,) were 507 in number ; and of these 407 are printed either in extenso or by abstract. Of the remainder, the titles only are given. From this it appears (1) that on the average 21 papers per annum were read ; (2) that the contributors are slightly less than a third, as compared with the memoirs contributed; and (8) that not more than 28 per cent, of the writers are now members of the Society. A small number, perhaps about one-tenth, were outside friends and never had any connexion with the Society; while probably about the same proportion have ceased to be members, through change of residence and other causes. The rest have passed to their great account. In Part III, there are 427 subjects given in alphabetical order, and 692 references. As I was one of the three founders of the Society and one of its original members, it is only natural that I should take a deep interest iii its objects and operations. For sixteen years I was its Honorary Secretary : and this is the fifth session in which I have been called upon to occupy the position of President. I felt therefore that it would be a graceful recognition of long-continued confidence and kindness to present this tract to the Members; and it is besides a great pleasure to myself to do so. I trust also that the personal kindness which added so many beautiful illustrations to oiu earlier volumes may exhibit itself by favouring the members with some other document of general interest, suitable for binding up with this.
