REPORT, 1895. During the year, fourteen members have joined the Society; while six have died, and three have resigned their membership. Among those removed by death, with regret we chronicle the names of Philip Henry Rathbone, Alderman of Liverpool, a patriotic citizen, unselfish both in public and private life, who died 21st November; of the Reverend Andrew E. P. Gray, M.A., F.S.A., Rector of Wallasey, for many years on the Council of the Society, all too soon removed from the scene of his literary and parochial labours, dying at San Remo on the 11th of December; lastly, of John Parsons Earwaker, M.A., F.S.A., who was suddenly cut off in the flower of his age, in the full possession of his mental powers, at Pensarn, Abergele, on the 30th of January, leaving a gap in the ranks of thoroughly capable, laborious, topographer-genealogists which it will be hard to fill. Nine papers, dealing with subjects connected with the history or antiquities of the two counties, were read during the year. In the summer, Saturday afternoon excursions, under the guidance of Mr. W. Fergusson Irvine and Mr. W. E. Gregson, were made to Crosby Hall, where the party was courteously entertained by Mr. Blundell, of Crosby, and his sister; to Leasowe Castle and the Meols shore; to Boar's Den and Standish; and to Poole Hall and Eastham. To plan and carry out these small excursions occasions a good deal of trouble to those who are so good as to undertake the labour, and it seems a great pity that so few members are found to join in them.
