Acts, for instance, in the case of Sir Andrew Agnew, fiar of Lochnaw, about whose sitting, 1644-7, Mr. Foster intimates a doubt because he did not succeed to the baronetcy till 1661, we believe the case is made quite clear. We there find, s.v. Agnew of Lochnaw:-"Andrew, apparent, Sheriff of Galloway, a Commissioner for the Loan and Tax for Sheriffdom of Galloway and Stewartrie of Kirkcudbright, 1643, vi. i. 29 b. Present in Convention at Edinburgh, 25th Jan., 1644, Car. I., 1644, vi. i. 73 b......On Committees and Commissions of Parliament, 1644-5-6-7-9. Commissioner to Parlt, for vi. ii. 125a, 377b.......

II. 1661, c. 385, vii. 364." We read the above as referring to one and the same person, and on this ground offer it for Mr. Foster's consideration. In the printing of Musgrave's Obituary, and the Lists of Marriages (1650-1880), both very useful sources for reference, it would have been well to have inserted in brackets corrections or suggestions for the correction of obvious errors or misdescriptions. Thus, for "Anderson of Tushawlon," on p. 17 of Musgrave's Obituary, should be read "Tushielaw," a name enshrined in the lays of the Ettrick Shepherd. In the same Obituary, at p. 20, .v. Anstruther (Hon.), Francis," for "son of the Earl of Newark " should be read "Lord Newark," the title, itself erroneously claimed and assumed by the Anstru thers, having been a barony, not an earldom. We are aware, of course, that Mr. Foster is here reprinting, and it was necessary to give the ipsissima verba of his authority, but it was none the less necessary from time to time to correct the inaccuracies of the original. In a work of such considerable dimensions as the present, extending to nearly eight hundred pages, there must

NOTES ON BOOKS, &c. Collectanea Genealogica. By Joseph Foster. Vol. I. (Privately printed.)

MR. FOSTER must have found considerable employment, even for one so Briareus-handed as himself, in the preparation of the materials forming the first handsome volume of his Collectanea. It is obvious that the mass of information here brought together will require much sifting when used as genealogical tools, The Parliamentary Return of Members, for instance, which has been so keenly criticized as regards England and Ireland, seems little better in the way of accuracy as regards Scotland. What the Scottish list requires, as far as we are enabled to judge by the portion contained in Mr. Foster's present volume, is to

But we must confess to having been rather agreeably
surprised by the names which met our eye in the
Register of Marriages at Gray's Inn Chapel. There are,
no doubt, many which do not offer the slightest prospect
of genealogical interest, but, on the other hand, there
are not a few very suggestive of a new source of infor-
mation as to the refugee families in England. Such
names as Cavallier, Van Boxstand, Lefeuer, Duchesne,
are likely to arouse the attention of all students of
Huguenot family history, who may possibly here find a
long desired link in a chain of evidence. And for the
general reader of genealogical works, a list containing
entries alike of Barham and of Ingoldesby (they ought.
to have made a match of it, but did not) can scarcely be
said to be devoid of literary interest as long as the
"Jackdaw of Rheims" is held in remembrance among
us. Mr. Foster has done a good work in bringing these
varied materials into a form available for ready refer-
ence. He has much yet to do, and we shall look forward
with interest to his next volume, which we hope will
contain some, at least, of the features suggested by us as
tending to increase its permanent value.

English Men of Letters.- Bentley. By R. C. Jebb.-
Dickens. By A. W. Ward. (Macmillan & Co.)
"WHEN Greek meets Greek" the result, in cases like the
former of these volumes, is a masterly biography. We

suppose that few persons could have been better fitted to undertake the memoir of the great critic and scholar of the Augustan age than Dr. Jebb. The learning and research that but suggest a larger learning and research behind are present on every page, and those whose knowledge of the famous controversy concerning the letters of Phalaris is derived from Macaulay's essay on Temple will find here new reason for distrust of that brilliant historian. Dr. Jebb's book is of necessity largely occupied with the discussion of Bentley's works; but the account of the domestic life of this "warmhearted, imperious man" is also exceedingly interesting, especially that passage which records his concern at the death of Sir Roger de Coverley. But some of Dr. Jebb's academic humour is a little grim, witness the description of the famous brazen bull on p. 45.

Prof. Ward's Dickens is hardly on a level with Dr. Jebb's Bentley, but his subject presented greater difficulties-difficulties which always more or less incommode the biographers of the recently dead. Mr. Trollope had to write the life of Thackeray without letters and in the face of an expressed desire on Mr. Thackeray's part that no life of him should be written at all. Mr. Ward has had the countenance of Mr. Dickens's family, and must therefore be assumed to be more or less committed to the biographer whom Dickens selected for himself and who was the friend of his children. But a life written from an anti-Forsterian point of view is what is most wanted at present, though the need for anything immediate is not very urgent. The "Men of Letters" series would, however, have been incomplete without some account of the author of Pickwick, and Mr. Ward's volume falls naturally enough into its place.

The Bibliographer. Vol. I. (Stock.) THE Bibliographer has completed its first volume, and attained to the glory of its first title-page, on which, with the addition of spectacles, reappears the now familiar eighteenth century student of the cover. The editor has fairly fulfilled the promises he made at the outset, and the subscribers may be congratulated upon the possession of a bibliographical organ that is honestly bibliographical, and of genuine interest and value to book lovers. Despite certain ominous indications in the preface, we trust that the success of the enterprise will not be marred in the future by any attempts to over-popularize it. A specialist periodical should have the courage to be special, for it is its surest source of strength. We have also received the It contains an instalment of first number of vol. ii. Mr. Comyns Carr's recent lectures on "Book Illustration," a sketch of Feyerabend, the Frankfort bookseller, and other interesting papers.

MR. J. E. BAILEY has had the good fortune to come in contact with one of the lost volumes of John Byrom's Journal. He is not, strictly speaking, its discoverer, but it is to him we owe the publication of a portion of its contents in the current number of The Palatine NoteBook. Byrom was perhaps hardly a great man, but he was a man of mark in his day and noted for purity of life at a period when the moral virtues were commonly disregarded. He is noteworthy, also, as being one of the little band of men who took an interest in the "higher theology" in days when most people thought it sufficient to be well up in the "evidences" and to avoid enthusiasm. He had a liking not only for mystical reading but also for mystics themselves. One of the strange people we come across in these notes is Edward Elwall, the Jewish Arian Sabbatarian, as he is here called, of whom an in

The Shakspeare Phrase-Book. By John Bartlett. (Mac-teresting account appeared some time ago in our pages millan & Co.)

SINCE the first publication of Mrs. Cowden Clarke's Concordance to Shakespeare the task of arranging a phrase or text book has been much simplified. Another book almost equally useful to workers in the same field is the Shakespeare Lexicon of Dr. Alexander Schmidt. With all allowance for aid from such sources, a work like that Mr. Bartlett has now compiled must involve great zeal and labour. No equally voluminous phrasebook has as yet seen the light. Omissions may, of course, be found. We do not, for instance, find the phrase from the Merchant of Venice employed by Jessica :

"I would out-night you did nobody come." Nor that from the first part of Henry IV. to which recently a wide publicity has been assigned, "Doth give us bold advertisement." Juliet's pathetic and ironical address to her nurse, "Well, thou hast comforted me marvellous much," and many other phrases of equal significance, do not appear. We are not disposed, however, in this instance to say as Sheridan is reported to have said at the sight of Dodd's Beauties of Shake speare, "This is all very well, but where are the other eleven volumes?" It is easy to believe that a man wading laboriously and frequently through Shakspeare may arrive at the conclusion that certain phrases which to another man have a deep meaning are of little significance without the context. In the case of Shakspeare, however, the only rule is to give the reader the benefit of the doubt and insert everything. As it stands, Mr. Bartlett's volume extends to more than a thousand pages. To those who seek phrases from Shakspeare it will have much utility, and scholars who do not possess the more important works to which we have made previous reference may also find it of service.

(6th S. iv. 50). Though tried on one occasion for blasphemy, he seems to have been a harmless and innocent person. The few specimens of the Journal Mr. Bailey has given will be interesting to all students of eighteenth century life. We cordially agree with him in thinking that the complete book should be printed by the Chetham Society.

The First Editions of their "Illustrated New Testament" having for many years been out of print, Messrs. LONGMANS & Co. have determined upon issuing the work in a more popular form. This New Edition will be an exact reproduction of the Original, and will be published and completed in EIGHTEEN MONTHLY PARTS, at One Shilling each, commencing on the First of July.

Previously to the publication of this work, the arts of Printing and Wood Engraving had not been applied to the production of the New Testament in a form representing the perfection of which these arts are capable; and the endeavour to accomplish this object occupied much time and involved a large expenditure.

The large demand which existed for the Large-Paper Edition (price Ten Guineas), published in 1863, and the Second Edition in crown 4to. (price Three Guineas), published in 1864, proved that the work was highly appreciated; and the publishers are led to believe that its re-issue in the present form will be generally welcomed.

The Ornamentation of this work is taken from the Italian School of Art, and the chief Picture subjects are, with two exceptions, from Italian Masters. The numerous Engravings on Wood are from designs of

Each page is decorated with Borders, Ornaments, or Initial Letters, copied from the finest Italian Manuscripts of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries, and numerous Medallions are introduced in the margins.
