Volume 4 — Miscellaneous.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

Many of our readers who take an interest in our Anglo-Saxon Language and Literature are aware that an accomplished German scholar, Dr. Pauli, has during a residence of considerable length in this country been devoting his attention to those subjects; and we have just received some of the fruits of his labours in a volume entitled König Ælfred und seine Stelle in der Geschichte Englands. It is an interesting contribution to a very important period in the history of this country; and it is the more valuable from the use made in it of the labours of our own distinguished Saxonists, Kemble and Thorpe.

BOOKS RECEIVED.—Letters on the Evidences, Doctrines, and Duties of the Christian Religion, by Olinthus Gregory. The words Ninth Edition, on the title-page of this new volume, sufficiently attest the value of this addition to Bohn's Standard Library.

The Stranger in London, or Visitor's Companion to the Metropolis and its Environs, with an historical and descriptive Sketch of the Great Exhibition, by Cyrus Redding. This Guide claims the merit of being "not merely descriptive but pictorial;" and it does well, for its woodcuts form the most valuable portion of the book.

Address at the Anniversary Meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, by Captain W. H. Smyth, R.N., President, &c. This Address give a concise yet most clear view of the progress of Geographical Discovery during the preceding year; and is alike creditable to the learned and gallant Captain and the Society over which he presides.

We desire to direct the attention of our readers, more especially those who are old enough to remember the first appearance the The Literary Gazette, to the Testimonial which the friends of the Editor, Mr. Jerdan, propose to present to that gentleman. The names of the Committee, and a statement of the Subscriptions in aid of the object, will be found in our advertising columns.

The Memorial which we mentioned some time since as having been addressed to the master of the Rolls, requesting "that persons who are merely engaged in historical inquiry, antiquarian research, and other literary pursuits connected therewith, should have permission granted them to have access to the Public Records, with the Indices and Calendars, without payment of Fees," has been very favourable responded to by Sir John Romilly; and a meeting of the gentlemen by whom it was signed has been held at the apartments of the Society of Antiquaries, when certain resolutions were agreed to, acknowledging the obligations of antiquarian literature to Sir John Romilly for the arrangements which he has at present determined upon, and for the further increased facilities for consulting the documents in question, which he has promised on the completion of the new Record Office. The thanks of the Meeting were also voted to Mr. Bruce, with whom the movement originated.

Mr. C. Roach Smith has issued proposals for publishing by subscription an Illustrated Catalogue of his Museum of Antiquities, composed principally of remains of the Roman, Anglo-Saxon, and Mediæval periods, discovered in the bed of the Thames, and during excavations in London.

CATALOGUES RECEIVED.—William Nield's (46. Burlington Arcade) Catalogue No. 6. of Very Cheap Books; W. Brown's (130. and 131. Old Street) List of Theological Books selected from the Library of the late Rev. E. Bickersteth.

Notices to Correspondents.

To account for the non-appearance of several letters which have been received, and to prevent others of a like nature from being sent, the Editor begs to state that as it is obviously impossible that well-known controverted points in religion, politics, science &c., can be adequately discussed in a work like "NOTES AND QUERIES," we cannot insert letters which go directly to provoke the discussion of such points. Correspondents from whom they are received, we can only refer to the notorious sources of information; inquirers to whom these are unknown, are probably not in a state to profit by any dispute which they might engender.

J. B. or J. O. (Birmingham). The Editor believes that the portraits respecting which our correspondent inquires are mere impostures unworthy of notice.

S. P. H. T. is thanked for his kind reminder. The subject has not been lost sight of; but postponed partly from the pressure of correspondence, and the consequent want of room—partly from want of time. We hope however to take some steps in it before the present volume is completed.

T. LAWRENCE. The puzzling epitaph forwarded by our correspondent has already been recorded and explained in "NOTES AND QUERIES." See Vol. II., pp. 311. 346.

E. H. Y. The Query was inserted Vol. iii., p. 351.; and the only satisfactory reply received is one not calculated for publication, but shall be forwarded to our correspondent, if he will kindly say how a letter may be addressed to him.

F. R. R.'s Query respecting the "Hanap Cup" has been anticipated in our 1st Vol. p. 477., and replied to at p. 492.

Subscriptions are received by all the members of the Committee, and at the Union Bank, Pall Mall East.

It is now manifest that, quite apart from any biographical interest belonging to it, the work, in its complete state, will supply a regular and progressive account of English legal institutions, such as exists in no other equally accessible form in our language.... So completed, it will be a work of the highest merit—original in research, careful and conscientious in detail, bringing forward much that is new in connexion with the subject, correcting much that was doubtful in previous writers who have handled it, and supplying the best general view of our strictly legal history which any historian or jurist has yet aimed or attempted to give."—Examiner.
