	Gentleman's Magazine 1839 part 1 p.521 in his own book, the title of a MS. in the British Museum. "Genealogies and Historical Incidents in the lives of the Earls of Carlisle from Ranulph de Meschines to George de Clifford, 1569." Before we conclude, we should state that this volume is rather rich in biography; though we do not think the lives of the Bishops particularly well given. We may also remark that, besides the distinguished persons who figure in this volume, there are several other literary and scientific characters and artsist briefly noticed in Hutchinson, vol.ii p.66; and among them Dr. Heysham, and the present Royal Academician Mr. Smirke. And now we must take leave of Mr. Jefferson and Carlisle, only adding that the history of one of our ancient cities, the scene of many important historical events, and the theatre of many generations once active in the affairs of this busy world, fully merits the expanse of two quarto volumes. The best model for such a history is the Shrewsbury of Blakeway and Owen. We may repeat our general satisfaction with this work, as a popular history; but at the same time we will add out hopes that it is merely a prelude to a larger and more satisfactory work.
