Is a county, a parliamentary, and municipal borough and parish, situated on the River Ribble, in the hundred of Amounderness, County Palatine of Lancaster. It is a station on the London and North-Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire lines of railway, 31 miles from Manchester, 28 from Liverpool, and 2i0 from London. It was incorporated by Henry I., a.p 1100, and subsequent charters conferring Royal grants, privileges, and free customs were given by

The burgesses are entitled by the Charter of Henry II. to have a Guild Merchant, with the usual franchises annexed, of safe transit through the Kingdom, exemption from toll pontage, and stallage, liberty to buy and sell peaceably ; and power to hold a Guild for the renewal of freedom to the burgesses, the confirming of bye-laws, and other purposes. This privilege is still made the occasion of great

For a long time after their first institution the Guilds were held at irregular periods, but they have now for more than three centuries been uniformly celebrated every 20th year, commencing on the Monday next after the decollation of St. John; the last was held in 1882, lasting a week, the Guild Mayor being the late Edmund Birley, Esquire, J.P., who was unanimously elected to that office. The next Guild Festival will be held in 1902, when the Guild Mayor for that year will be the Right Hon. the Harl of Derby, K.G.

Preston had two monastic institutions, first an ancient hospital, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, mentioned in the Lincoln taxation of 1291, and second, a Franciscan convent of Grey Friars, built by Edmund, Earl of Lancaster, in 1221. The first of these religious foundations stood on the eminence now occupied by Tulketh Hall, in Ashton ; and the latter stood a little to the west of Friargate, to which street it gave the name. The building afterwards became a residence and next a house of correction, and continued as such till the prison at the east end of Church Street was erected in 1790.

For a long ie a strong feeling existed that the navigation of the Ribble should be in the hands of the Corporation, and that the rights and works of the Ribble Navigation Company should be purchased.

This was done in March, 1883, for the anrount of £72,000, for which sum a valuable farm in Freckleton was also included. An Act of Parliament was obtained this year empowering the Corporation to complete the purchase, and to carry out the works for the new scheme, which included the deepening and diversion of the river, the con- struction of docks and other works, and the extension of the borough. The ceremony of laying the first stone of the dock, named the Albert Edward Dock, was performed with great éclat in July, 1886, by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. The dock is 40 acres in extent, and is 600 feet wide, and 3,150 feet long. The lock is 550 feet long, and is divided by a pair of gates 325 feet from the dock gate. There is a lock basin 300 feet wide and 750 feet long, and its gates 60 feet wide. The works also include timber pond, graving docks, warehouses, &e. The dock was opened in 1892. Since then important public improvements have been in progress, amongst which may be noticed ; - Additional ware- houses have been erected; coaling and other cranes, worked by hydraulic power, for the rapid loading and discharging of goods and minerals, have been provided; several miles of railway and sidings to facilitate the prompt despatch of goods inland, and other requirements of a modern port, have been provided; the total expenditure on dock and navigation works now reaching £1,210,180. The progress of trade may be seen as follows, viz.: - That, whereas in 1893 the number of vessels entering the port were 537, with a tonnage of 48,821, in 1900 the number of vessels had increased to 1,233, with a

Extensive improvements have been made within the last few years in the centre of the town, in connection with which the clearing of old property and the formation, paving, &c., of new streets involved an outlay of over £50,000 by the Corporation. All the old property lying between the old Market Place and the Covered Market, and bounded by Lancaster Road on the north and Anchor Weind on the south, has been cleared away. In this operation no fewer than 14 inns and hostelries, many of them of historic reputation, have been demolished, viz. : - The George Inn, Friargate; Farmers' Arms, Back Lane (new hotels bearing these signs have been erected, one at each end of the fine new block of buildings forming the west side of the new street now called Market Street); Derby Arms, Back Lane; Virgins Inn, Anchor Weind; White Bull, Golden Ball, and Swan Ian, New Street ; Grecian Inn, Lord Street ; Cross Keys, Market Place; Wheat Sheaf, Ram's Head, and White Hart, Gin Bow Entry; Shoulder of Mutton and Bull and Butcher, Lancaster Road. The clearance above named has effected a much needed improvement in the widening of Friargate | at its junction with the Market Place, and the formation of a good thoroughfare to Lancaster Road on the north side of the Harris Library ; whilst the new street, '' Market Street,'' prolongs Cheapside northerly to the top of Orchard Street.

On the site, north side of old Market Place, facing the Town Hall, the new Central Post Office is being erected. This building is to accommodate the,Inland Revenue, Excise, and all other Government Departments of the town.

To the east of the latter building there is also being erected a new Sessions Hall. The structure will be in harmony with the Harris

Free Library, ard will be an architectural feature of Preston. The exterior is of Longridge stone, and the buildings are designed in the English Renaissance style of architecture, Mr. Henry Littler being the architect. A tower will rise from the main building toa height of 165 feet. The Sessions Courts, of which there are two, are situated on each side of the Assembly Hall, each court being 49 feet by 39 feet, and the height about 32 feet. The total cost of the buildings will be about £90,000, inclnding site. The foundation stone was laid by the Hav! of Derby on the 22nd February, 1900, and the buildings are expected to

_be completed for the Guild of 1902. The contractors are* Messrs.

David Tullis & Sons, of Preston; Mr. Thomas Cottam, joinery work ; Messrs. Cook & Son, plastering; Mr. Thomas Nickson, flagging and slating ; and Messrs. James Walmsley & Co., plumbing and painting - all of Preston.

A new Magistrates' Court and Police Station, also a Fish Market, are to be provided here, but the exact positions are not yet decided upon. On the site lying between the Town Hall and Lancaster Road a block of handsome buildings have been erected, comprising two hotels, shops, offices, &c., with arcades running transversely through the block.

Samtary. - Extensive intercepting and other sewers have been completed, and alsoa pumping station, by which the sewage of the town, instead of flowing into the river, is now conveyed to the farm at Preckleton, and purified by irrigation and filtration. Since 1892 over £75,000 has been spent in this direction, and works are still in progress

for the proper and effectual treatment of the sewage on the farm.

Formerly the staple trade of the town was the manufacture of linen, which has long been superseded by that of cotton fabrics. It was in the year 1768 that Richard Arkwright introduced the '" Spinning Jenny," destined to cause a complete revolution in the production of cotton fabrics. The first cotton mill was built by Messrs. Collinson and Watson, in 1777, at the bottom of Friargate, but the trade made very little progress here till the year 1791, when the late John Horrocks came to reside in the town, and commenced the muslin manufacture in a small warehouse at Syke Hill. He was the

originator of the great firm, now bearing the name of Horrockses,

Crewdson, & Co., Ltd. There are now employed in the production of cotton goods about 25,000 persons. On the Strand Road two new important industries have just been established which give employ- ment to a considerable number of people. One is the English Electric Manufacturing Company, Limited, and the other the Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works, Limited, both works being built and equipped in the most modern manner.

The Municipal Acts, which have, in a great measure, superseded the old Charters, vest the municipal government in a mayor, twelve aldermen, and thirty-six councillors, with the usual officers.

The municipal borough covers an area of 4,029 acres, and includes, besides the ancient townships of Preston and Fishwick, the hamlet of Ashton and portions of Ribbleton, Brockholes, and Penwortham. This area, by an order of the Local Government Board, under the Local

- Government Act, 1894, is now constituted one township, called the

township of Preston.

is 20,491, and the number of parliamentary electors is 17,239. By the Preston Corporation Act, 1900, the wards of the borough have been reconstituted and now number twelve instead of six as hereto- fore. They are named respectively, Ashton; Maudland, St. Peter's, Moor Brook, Park, Deepdale, Ribbleton, Fishwick, St. John's, Trinity, Avenham, and Chaist Church, and each returning three Councillors instead of six as under the previous arrangement.

The Harris Institute, in common with many other Technical schools, was originally a Mechanics' Institution, founded as far back as 1828, and known as the '' Preston Institution for the Diffusion of Krowledge."' For many years classes were held in connection with the Science and Art Department with a fair amount of success, but it was not until the Session of 1881-2 that the rapid development of the work of the Institute took place. The late E. R. Harris, Esq., of Preston, bequeathed a sum of £300,000, and three important institu- tions were established under the provisions of his will, namely, the

Harris Public Library and Museum, the Harris Orphanage, and the ~

Harris Institute. A sum of £40,000 was set aside for the purpose of the latter institution, to establish and carry on an " Institute of Literature, Art, Science, and Technical Education."' 'To give effect to this the old Mechanics' Institution was dissolved under the provisions of '' The Literary and Scientific Institutions Act, 1854," all assets and liabilities being handed over to the new governing body of the present

In the Session of 1881-2, the number of pupils on the Register was 396, whereas in 1898-9 the number amounted to about 4,000. The classes are divided into Science, Art, Technical, Domestic Economy, Agriculture, and Miscellaneous.

In 1884 the accommodation was utterly inadequate to meet the large increase in the number attending the various classes, and property was purchased adjacent to the Institute, and an excellent theatre, chemical laboratory, and additional class-rooms were erected. The laboratory and lecture hall were fitted up under the suppervision of Sir Henry Roscoe, and are consequently all that can be desired. In 1887, the number of individual students then being 1,307, the Harris Trustees made a further grant of £30,000. A supplementary scheme was framed for the application of the fund, and under its provisions £10,000 was authorised to be applied towards building and furnishing a Technical School, the remaining £20,000 being added to the endowment fund. Shortly afterwards the Council made an application to the Corporation of Preston, and this body very generously provided a suitable central site, containing 5,879 square yards for the erection of the Technical school, the gift being made in celebration of the Queen's Jubilee. The Council has power to grant two scholarships, to be called the '' Harris Scholarship," of the annual value of not less than £45 each, to be awarded on com- petitive examination, and open to all students who have been attend- ing the classes for not less than two years immediately preceding the examination, and tenable at any college or place of higher education,

Free Scholarships and a book prize are also awarded to all students

who obtain first-class passes at the examinations in connection with the Science and Art Department, the City and Guilds of London

Institute, the Society of Arts, and the Union of Lancashire and |

Cheshire Institutes.

The School of Agriculture, in connection with the Lancashire County Council, and which was established nine years ago, is now in a flourishing condition.

Technical School. - The design for the Technical School was supplied by Messrs. Cheers, Aspinall, & Smith, of London and Black- burn. It contains a shed for weaving and designing, with spacé to accommodate 80 hand-looms and 20 power-looms; a preparation room for warping, winding, &c.; a room for drawing and colouring designs or patterns, and for cloth analysis; a textile museum, library, and reading-room ; a shed to hold a complete set of machinery to show the processes of cotton spinning; a lecture room to accommodate 200 students, mainly for classes in weaving and spinning; rooms for classes in mechanics and engineering, and machine and building con- struction ; two rooms for apparatus and designs; one room each for carpentry and joinery, for appliances and practical work in the plumbing trade, and for instruction in practical engineering. There are four extra class-rooms, each to accommodate 50 students, and the necessary lavatories, cloak-rooms, offices, &c. The cost of the school, inclusive of fittings, apparatus, &c., was about £17,000. The school was opened by the Right Hon. the Harl of Derby, K.G. (who was accompanied by the Countess of Derby) in September, 1897, and classes were immediately opened and attended by large numbers of students interested in the various trade subjects. William Ascroft, Esq., J.P., is president, and Major T. R. Jolly secretary and registrar. R. Wallace Stewart, D.Sc., is principal.

The Harris Free Library and Museum is a magnificent Grecian building, the chief features of which are simplicity and symmetry of plan, truthfulness of expression, and the execution of the work is characterised by great refinement of detail. The site for the building was given by the Corporation, and cost over £30,000, and the Cor- poration have further undertaken the maintenance of the institution in perpetuity to the extent of a rate of lid. in the pound. Thesite is one of the most elevated parts of Preston, and the building itself is of a form eminently fitted to crown an eminence. The square massive lantern ig a conspicuous feature for miles round. The cost of the structure was £80,000, granted from the bequest of the late Mr.

E. BR. Harris by the Harris Trustees. An additional sum of £30,000

was devoted out of the funds of the Harris Trust for the furnishing of the Harris Reference Library and the provision of such examples of the fine and industrial arts and objects of scientific interest as might be thought immediately conducive to the higher educational purposes

of the institution.

The pediment of the building is considered by competent judges to have only two rivals in England - that of St. George's Hall and the academic one of the British Museum. The statuary group, all of

- heroic size, is illustrative of the most brilliant period of Greek culture,

and is the work of Mr. EH. Roscoe Mullins. On the apex and at the" feet of the pediment are what are termed acroteria - ornaments which

_ are often met with in the buildings of antiquity. At the rear of the _ apex of the portico there is another acroterion. These symbolic

ornaments were modelled and in part carved by Mr. Rowland Rhodes, who also executed the full-size models of the whole of the decorative

features of the exterior. Other notable external features of the building are the inscriptions. First, the Dedication, '''To Literature, Arts, and Science ;"' next, a Declaration, ''On earth there is nothing great but man, in man there is nothing great but mind ;" third, a Precept, '' Reverence in man that which is supreme;" and lastly, a Promise, ''The mental riches you may here acquire abide with you

Beautiful externally, the building is none the less attractive in its interior, the treatment of the Central Hall, with its various galleries from top to bottom, being very imposing, including a magnificent series of Assyrian and Greek friezes and a splendid collection of statuary. The Museum Galleries are arranged round the sides of the Central Hall and staircase, one side being devoted to the fine arts, the corresponding side to natural history and physics, and the remaining side between these to the department of general archeeclogy, ceramics, and the finer kinds of industrial art, and illustrations of ethnology. The collection of pictures and other objects of Art bequeathed by the Jate Richard Newsham, Esq., valued at £40,000, are housed here. The basement of the building comprises librarian's workroom, museum storage, heating and lighting department, &. The ground floor com- prises lending library, reading room, news room, &c., and collections of models, and examples connected with the industrial arts. The principal floor comprises the reference libraries (including the Shepherd Library) and patents library, entrance hall and staircase, and museum of casts and reproductions from the antique; and the upper floor comprises the museum galleries, central hall and staircase. The arrangement of bookcases provides shelving for the following number of volumes: - Lending library, 30,350 vols.; library of patents, 20,000 vols. ; the Harris Library, for reference purposes, 49,289 vols. ;

The Libraries and Museums Act was adopted in 1878, and the library, reading room, and news room were opened Ist January, 1879, in the large and handsome ground floor of the Town Hall, and from

there were transferred to the present building on its opening. The.

number of books now placed is about 50,000 vols. The issue of books for home reading exceeds 120,000 volumes annually, and the reading room has a daily attendance of 3,000 visitors. The librarian and superintendent is Mr. W. 8. Bramwell. Mr. W. B. Burton is curator of the museum.

The foundation stone of the building was laid on September 5th, 1882, by the Earl of Lathom, and the opening ceremonial took place in October, 1893, by the Earl of Derby, but the actual opening was on the 1st January, 1894.
