Volume 3 — Miscellaneous.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

The first volume issued to the members of the Camden Society in return for the present year's subscription affords in more than one way evidence of the utility of that Society. It is an account of Moneys received and paid for Secret Services of Charles II. and James II., and is edited by Mr. Akerman from a MS. in the possession of William Selby Lowndes, Esq. Of the value of the book as materials towards illustrating the history of the period over which the payments extend, namely from March 1679 to December 1688, there can be as little doubt, as there can be that but for the Camden Society it never could have been published. As a publishing speculation it could not have tempted any bookseller; even if its owner would have consented to its being so given to the world: and yet that in the simple entries of payments to the Duchess of Portsmouth, to "Mrs. Ellinor Gwynne," to "Titus Oates," to the Pendrells, &c., will be found much to throw light upon many obscure passages of this eventful period of our national history, it is probable that future editions of Mr. Macaulay's brilliant narrative of it will afford ample proof.

The Antiquarian Etching Club, which was instituted two or three years since for the purpose of rescuing from oblivion, and preserving by means of the graver, objects of antiquarian interest, has just issued the first part of its publications for 1851. This contains twenty-one plates of various degrees of merit, but all of great interest to the antiquary, who looks rather for fidelity of representation than for artistic effect.

CATALOGUES RECEIVED.—G. Bumstead's (205. High Holborn), Catalogue, Part LI., containing many singularly Curious Books; James Darling's (Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields) Catalogue, Part 49. of Books chiefly Theological.

THE

LANSDOWNE SHAKSPEARE.

On July 1st will be published, Part I., price 4s.,

To be completed in Four Monthly Parts, to form one Handsome Volume, crown 8vo.

This beautiful and unique edition of Shakspeare will be produced under the immediate and auspicious encouragement of the Most Noble the Marquis of Lansdowne.

It is anticipated that its triumph as a Specimen of the Art of Printing will only be exceeded by the facility and clearness which the new arrangement of the text will afford in reading the works of "the mightiest of intellectual painters." Its portability will render it as available for travelling, as its beauty will render it an ornament to the drawing-room.

Every care has been taken to render the text the most perfect yet produced. The various folios and older editions, together with the modern ones of Johnson, Steevens, Malone, Boswell, Knight, and Collier (also Dyce's Remarks on the two latter), have been carefully compared and numerous errors corrected.

The Portrait, after Droeshout, will be engraved by H. ROBINSON in his first style.

London: WILLIAM WHITE, Pall Mall; and to be obtained of all Booksellers.

He has also Models of several Egyptian Obelisks.

ILLUSTRATIONS AND ENQUIRIES RELATING To Mesmerism. Part I. By the REV. S. R. MAITLAND, DD. F.R.S. F.S.A. Sometime Librarian to the late Archbishop of Canterbury, and Keeper of the MSS. at Lambeth.

"One of the most valuable and interesting pamphlets we ever read."—Morning Herald.

"This publication, which promises to be the commencement of a larger work, will well repay serious perusal."—Ir. Eccl. Journ.

"A small pamphlet in which he throws a startling light on the practices of modern Mesmerism."—Nottingham Journal.

"Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the 'touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or wrong. We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and hope that he will not long delay the remaining portions."—London Medical Gazette.

"The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say important. That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most successful we ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this brief notice; but we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to those who care nothing about Mesmerism, or angry (for it has come to this at last) with the subject."—Dublin Evening Post.

"We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by one whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the genuine character of Mesmerism, which is so much disputed.—Woolmer's Exeter Gazette.

"Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal of attention on the subject for many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part the result of his thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in it which we should have been glad to quote ... but we content ourselves with referring our readers to the pamphlet itself."—Brit. Mag.

THE SEVEN PERIODS OF ENGLISH ARCHITECTURE DEFINED AND ILLUSTRATED. An Elementary Work, affording at a single glance a comprehensive view of the History of English Architecture, from the Heptarchy to the Reformation. By EDMUND SHARPE, M.A., Architect.

"Mr. Sharpe's reasons for advocating changes in the nomenclature of Rickman are worthy of attention, coming from an author who has entered very deeply into the analysis of Gothic architecture, and who has, in his 'Architectural Parallels,' followed a method of demonstration which has the highest possible value."—Architectural Quarterly Review.

"The author of one of the noblest architectural works of modern times. His 'Architectural Parallels' are worthy of the best days of art, and show care and knowledge of no common kind. All his lesser works have been marked in their degree by the same careful and honest spirit. His attempt to discriminate our architecture into periods and assign to it a new nomenclature, is therefore entitled to considerable respect."—Guardian.
