NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2''<i S. VII. Mak. 12. '69. 



information will be gained by the publication of the 

 Liber Albus as to the political and commercial history of 

 the country during the thirteenth and fourteenth cen- 

 turies; it is in the new and abundant light which it 

 throws upon the social condition, usages, and institutions 

 of London and its citizens, that the great importance of 

 the book is to be looked for: and, that the reader may 

 judge of the extent and variety of illustration thus 

 afforded, we will enumerate the various heads of subjects 

 treated of by Mr. Riley in his most useful introduction. 

 They are — Houses and Shops ; Chimneys and Fuel ; Builders 

 and Building Materials; Streets and Street Begulations ; City 

 Gatrs ; Regulations in respect of the River, the Watercourse 

 of Walbrook, and the City Fosses ; Police Regulations ; 

 Hostelers and Lodging- House Keepers; Brewers and Ta- 

 verners; Ales and Wines; Bread and Bakers, Corndealers, 

 Millers, Cooks, Pie Bakers, and Pastelers ; Fishmongers and 

 Fish ; Butchers and Butchers^ Meat; Poulterers and Poultry; 

 Food and 3fiscellaneous Articles; Clothing and Clothiers ; 

 Fripperers, Shoemakers, Furriers, and other Trades ; Com- 

 merce, Imports, and Exports ; Offences, Punishments, and 

 Prisons. After this our readers, we are sure, will feel 

 with us that this publication is one which reflects credit 

 alike upon the Master of the KoUs, and the editor; and 

 Avill, with us, look forward with anxiety for the two suc- 

 ceeding volumes, which are to give us the Liber Custu- 

 marum, the Liber Home, and a Glossary and Index. 



Shakespiare's Romeo und Julia, Fine Kritische Ausgahe 

 des Ueberlieferten Doppeltextes, mit vollsVdndiger Varia 

 Lectio bis auf Rome. Nebst einer Einleitimg ilber den Werth 

 der Textquellen und den Versbau Shakespeare's. Von 

 Tycho Mommsen. Oldenburg. (Williams & Norgate.) 



It is impossible to overrate the value of this important 

 contribution to Shakspearian literature to those who are 

 engaged in a critical stud}' of the writings of our great 

 dramatist. While those who, from not being acquainted 

 with German, are imable to examine the very learned 

 and instructive Prolegomena of the editor, may well be 

 pleased to place the work upon their shelves for the sake 

 of the very accurate reprints of the Romeo and Juliet from 

 the rare quartos of 1597 and 1599 ; which are here re- 

 printed in parallel pages, accompanied by the various 

 readings of all the editions down to that of Rowe. 



Rival Rhymes, in Honour of Burns : with curious 

 Illustrative Matter, collected and edited by Ben Trovato. 

 (Routledge & Co.) 



Whether Scotland will be as proud of Ben Trovato as she 

 is of Ben Nevis, and her other " big Bens," we know not. 

 But we are sure England will enjoy a quiet laugh at 

 these excellent imitations of Father Prout, Tupper, Long- 

 fellow, &c., and indulge in some speculation as to the 

 " chiel " who has been taking or making these notes. 

 Who is he? Has Father Prout copied a joke from Foote, 

 and taken himself off. 



The Iliad of Homer, Book I. to VI. With Short English 

 Notes for the Use of Schools. Oxford. (Parker.) 



This new Part of Parker's Greek Texts with English 

 Notes is likely to be very useful, for the English notes are 

 preceded by a very useful Introduction to the Study of 

 Homer s Iliad. 



The Cave in the Hills, or Ccecilius Viriathus. A Tale of 

 the Early British Church. (Parker.) 



A story of consideralde interest. The first of a Series 

 of Historical Tales which Messrs. Parker of Oxford have 

 undertaken to produce, written by authors of acknow- 

 ledged merit, in a porular style, upon sound Church prin- 

 ciples, and with a single eye to the inculcation of a true 

 estimate of the circumstances to which they relate, and 

 the bearing of those circumstances upon the history of 

 the Church. 



The Bulletin of Literature, Art, and Science. Nos. I. 

 and n. 



This new journal embodies a new idea, that of "con- 

 centrating in the pages of one journal a complete resum6 

 or record of current intelligence relating to intellectual 

 progress," — and the idea is well developed. Those to 

 whom time is money, will here find in a few pages, which 

 will not occupy half an hour in t'leir perusal, the last 

 bits of news, whether literary, artistic, or scientific.
