NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd s. YII. Feb. 19. '59. 



neigbbourhood, and yet of whose history the generality 

 of us know less than of that of almost any other country. 

 It aims at something more than a mere epitome; gives 

 results rather than abstracts; and, as it is written in the 

 same tone and spirit as The Eighteen Christian Centuries, 

 there can be little doubt that the author's ambition will 

 be gratified, and that the work will be found acceptable to 

 a large class of readers who, while they are desirous of ac- 

 quiring historical knowledge, have not time to devote to 

 the study of works of great extent ; while, on the other 

 hand, they are too often repelled from the smaller epi- 

 tomes by the dryness of their narrative and their uninter- 

 esting style. 



Life and Books, or Records of Thought and Reading, by 

 J. r. Boyes. (Bell & Daldy.) 



Good scholarship, some knowledge of the world, and 

 occasional touches of humour, are the characteristics of 

 this pleasant addition to a class of books of which we 

 have not many in English Literature. Mr. Boyes' pre- 

 face tells us of an amusing piece of criticism to which his 

 Illustrations of JEschylus and Sophocles gave rise. He had 

 quoted Bos, and his critic thereupon reproached him with 

 ignorance in not knowing how to spell Mr. Dickens' nom 

 de guerre, Boz ! 



Catalogue of a Collection of Historical and Topogra- 

 phical Works and Civil War Tracts relating to the County 

 of York. Tracts concerning Sir Thomas Fairfax ; also, 

 Sermons and other Works connected with the County, in the 

 Library of Edward Hailstone, Esq., F.S.A. Lond. and 

 Scot., at Norton Hall. (Printed for Private Distribution.) 



Mr. Hailstone has done well in making as complete a 

 collection as possible of all Histories, Local Guides, and 

 Handbooks relating to his native county. But he has 

 done still better, having formed such a collection, in pre- 

 serving for the use of his brother antiquaries a Catalogue 

 of it. The Civil War Tracts, and Tracts relating to Sir 

 Thomas Fairfax, give additional value to the Catalogue. 



A71, Alphabetical Dictionary of Coats of Arms belonging 

 to Families of Great Britain and Ireland, forming an Ex- 

 tensive Ordinary of British Armorials, ^c. By John W. 

 Papworth. Part ll. 



We are glad to learn from an announcement in this 

 Second Part, that the state of the subscriptions is such as 

 to enable the editor to issue a Third Part almost imme- 

 diatelj-. As this notice may fall into the hands of some 

 Avho may not know the characteristics of Mr. Papworth's 

 most useful work, we may mention that it is arranged on 

 an entirely new plan, " in which," to use his own words. 

 " the arms are systematically subdivided throughout, and 

 so arranged in alphabetical order, that names of families 

 whose shields have been placed upon buildings, seals, 

 plate, painted glass, brasses, and other sepulchral monu- 

 ments, sculptured or painted portraits, &c., whether me- 

 dieval or modern, can be readilj' ascertained." 



Diary and Correspondence of John Evelyn, Esq., to which 

 is subjoined the Private Correspondence between Charles I. 

 and Sir Edward Nicholas, and between Sir Edward Hyde, 

 afterwards Earl of Clareiidon, and Sir Richard Browne. 

 Edited from the Original MS S. at TFotton. By William 

 Bray, Esq., F.S.A. A New Edition, corrected, revised, and 

 enlarged. . Vols. I. and II. (Bohn.) 



This admirable book well deserves to be put before the 

 public in a cheap form, and Mr. Bohn is conferring a 

 benefit upon many by including it in his Historical Li- 

 brary. The present edition has the advantage of having 

 the additional notes inserted in their proper places. 



Cai-mina Minima. By Charles Cowden Clarke. (Simp- 

 kin.) 



This small collection of poems, written at long in- 

 tervals over half a century of varied, busj', and eyerj'-day 



mental employment, shows both the talent of Mr. Clarke, 

 and how, from his long and intimate acquaintance with 

 our grand old poets, he has caught the very trick of their 

 fancy.
