We particularly welcome the paper on the Isle of Man, which has close connections with Lancashire

The contents reflect the usual and welcome mix of topics, of professional and amateur historians among the authors, and also a reasonable balance between the two counties. We particularly welcome the paper on the Isle of Man, which has close connections with Lancashire, and is part of a wider Irish Sea littoral region to which Lancashire and Cheshire belong. As the twentieth century draws to a close, perhaps we should expect some more recent history in Transactions.

Liverpool in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

Six of the seven papers appearing in this volume happen to fall into thematic groups, dealing with families and family affairs, and with Liverpool in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The themes were unplanned by the editors and reflect only some of the many strands of work on the region which historians of all types are pursuing. Other topics, other towns, and other periods are equally welcome as contributions.
