This is a much more pretentious but less useful work than Mr. Mastin's, from which all the local notices are copied wholesale ; and it is padded with much irrelevant matter. Mr. Carlyle makes short work of both vicar and curate. He says : ' There are two modern books about Naseby and its battle, both of them without value.' Mr. Mastin severely censures the incumbent of Naseby at the time of the battle for not having made any entry on the subject in the parish registers ; ' an omission utterly i...nexcusable in a resident clergyman,' In 1825 John and Mary Frances Fitzgerald, Lord and Lady of the Manor of Naseby, erected an obelisk with a very absurd in- scription ; but it is a mile from the field of battle. 164,5.] FAIRFAX'S BAPID MARCH TO THE WEST. 231 CHAPTEE XXI.
