The volume now before us is introduced by the following ADVERTISEMENT. "THIS volume (being the conclufion of the work) treats of thirtyone parishes in Hertfordshire, Effex, and Kent, which have been already defcribed by preceding writers. Where the author has availed himfelf of the labours of his predeceffors, their authority is quoted. Having been indulged with fuch liberal accefs to the public offices, he has, in all matters of record, confulted and referred to the originals, whence he has obtained many particulars hitherto unpublished. The defcent of property, through the liberality of the prefent owners, has been continued. The church notes and VOL. I.-No. II. extracts from parochial registers are, for the most part, now published for the first time. "To this volume is annexed a general appendix, in which are contained fuch additions to the account of each parish as have been procured fince the publication of the former volumes. All changes in exifting circumitances, as far as they have come to the author's knowledge, are noted; all errors, likewife, which have been discovered or pointed out, are corrected, either in the appendix, or in a general table of errata, at the end of the volume." within twelve miles of London.General appendix of additions and corrections to the former volumes.Index of arms.-Index of names.General index to the volume.

EXTRACTS. EAST BARNET. REMARKABLE "LITTLE Grove was the feat of the late Mr. Juftice Willes, who purchafed it of Fane William Sharpe, Efq. Mr. Sharpe's father had, at this place, a Canada goofe, which formed an extraordinary affection for a houfe dog. The ftory is extremely well attefted, and furnishes a very curious anecdote in natural hiftory. It was drawn up by Mr. F. W. Sharpe, and inferted in his copy of Willough by's Ornithology: The following account of a Cahada goofe is fo extraordinary that I am aware it would with difficulty gain credit, was not a whole parish able to vouch for the truth of it. The Cahada geefe are not fond of a poultry yard, but are rather of a rambling difpofition: one of thefe birds, however, was obferved to attach itself in the frongest and most affectionate manner to the house dog, would never quit the kennel, except for the purpose of feeding, when it would return again immediately. It always fat by the dog, but never prefumed to go into the kennel, except in rainy weather. Whenever the dog barked, the goofe would cackle and run at the perfon fhe fuppofed the dog by the affiftance of her wings, and in "This extraordinary affection of the goofe towards the dog, which continued till his death, two years after it was firft obferved, is fuppofed to have originated from his having accidentally faved her from a fox in the very moment of diftrefs. While the dog was ill, the goofe never quitted him day nor night, not even to feed; and it was apprehended that she would have been tarved to death, had not orders been given for a pan of corn to be fet every day clofe to the kennel. At this time the goofe generally fat in the kennel, and would not furfer any one to approach it, except the perfon who brought the dog's or her own food.-The end of this faithful bird was melancholy; for when the dog died, the would ftill keep poffeffion of the kennel, and a new houfe dog being introduced, which, in fize and colour, resembled that lately loft, the poor goofe was unhappily deceived, and going into the kennel, as ufual, the new inhabitant feized her by the throat, and killed her.' "A fimilar affection was observed between a cat and a pidgeon, fome years ago, at the houfe of the late Robert James, Efq. of Putney, with this difference, that it appeared to be reciprocal. What rendered it more extraordinary was, that they were both found one day on the wall of the garden, and both became domefticated at |
