3 PAPERS OF THE Manchester Literary Club. VOLUME V. WITH THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE Manchester: PUBLISHED FOR THE CLUB BY ABEL HEYWOOD AND SON, OLDHAM STREET; AND BOOKSELLERS' ROW, LONDON. 1879. This Volume, like its predecessors, has been edited by J. H. Nodal. The Writers of Papers are, of course, alone responsible for the facts and opinions in their respective communications. The ILLUSTRATIONS are, for the most part, fac-simile reproductions by the typographic process of drawings by members of the Club. For the etching of Halton Castle, which forms the frontispiece, we are indebted to Mr. Christopher Blacklock; for the wood engraving of De Quincey's grave, to Messrs. Abel Heywood and Sons, our publishers; and for the woodcut of the first Manchester locomotive, to Mr. W. H. Bailey, the author of the paper which it illustrates. All the other illustrations have been executed at the cost of the Club, from drawings kindly contributed by the members. The oil painting by Carse, of Greenhay, the early Manchester residence of Thomas de Quincey, was lent to the President for the purpose of the engraving by the owner of the picture, Mr. Thomas Lythgoe, of Heaton Moor. For the elaborate INDEX we are once more indebted to the kindness of Mr. W. E. A. Axon. |
