Abstract
BY publishing the papers in this volume the Council of the Rochdale Literary and Scientific Society brings the work of the Society into prominence, and assists in making the objects of the meetings known to a wider circle. The volume is as interesting as its predecessors, and is a creditable addition to local literature and science. Among the papers contained in the volume is a chatty account of “Men and Manners in Manila,” by Dr. A. Jefferson, an elementary description (with figures) of “Egyptian hieroglyphics, picture-writing, and the English alphabet,” by Mr. C. Heape, a brief note on some graphite and flint implements found in a neolithic store near Rough Hill, by Mr. W. H. Sutcliffe, and a paper on the geological history of the Cephalopoda, by Mr. Charles Wardingley.
