Excerpt from An Inventory of the Plate, Register Book, and Other Moveables in the Two Parish Churches of Liverpool, St. Peter's and St. Nicholas', 1893: With a Transcript of the Earliest Register, 1660 1672; Together With a Catalogue of the Ancient Library in St. Peter's Church and Some Extract From the Vestry Records

These Register books, with the exception of the earliest volume, I found in an excellent state of preservation. They have been carefully written, and are models of what parish registers should be. For beautiful specimens of caligraphy, few registers can compare with those at the Old Church. The earliest book has at some period suffered from the ravages of mice - the lower portion of several of the leaves is eaten away - and in many places the writing is completely obliterated, due mainly to age and dust, and the constant friction of the hands and fingers in the process of making searches. I have carefully transcribed this volume, and, by permission of the Rector, printed it with this Inventory. Some of the missing portions have been supplied from the Bishop's Transcripts, which happily exist in the Diocesan Registry at Chester, although in a very imperfect condition. I am convinced that the best way to preserve parish registers is to print them.
