out in which dissenters are known to have been 

 buried in former dayp, for the purpose of avoiding 

 the earth which had been made holy for ordinary 

 Christian people to lie in. Hilton Henburny. 



Muffled Peal on Innocents' Day. — (P' S. xi. 8. ; 

 2'"^ S. vii. 245. 306.) — It was the custom a few 

 years ago at Wick-Rissington, Gloucestershire, 

 to ring a half-muffled peal on the Holy Inno- 

 cents' Day. Half the clapper of each bell was 

 muffled, so that every other chime had the effect of 

 an echo. W. J. D. 



NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



The Bibliographer'' s Manual of English Literature, Sfc, 

 by W. J. Lowndes. New Edition, revised, corrected, and 

 enlarged Ig Henry G. Bohn. Part IV. (Bohn.) 



Mr. Bohn's new edition of Lowndes continues to deserve 

 its character of a great improvement upon the original 

 work. The present part, which is devoted to the letters 

 G and 11 only, completes the first half of the work, and 

 the Editor refers those desirous of knowing how much 

 has been done for the revision of this useful book to the 

 following artiches; Galleries, Gibbon, Gilpin, Goethe, 

 Goldsmith, Gould, Gray, Greene, Gregson, Haliburton, 

 Hall, Halle, Hallam, Hamilton, Hearne, Herbert, Hero- 

 dotus, Ileywood, Hoare, Hobbes, Hogarth, Holinshed, 

 Holland's I3asiliologia, Homer, Hone, Hood, Hook, Horse, 

 Horace, Hume, Hunt, Hunter, and Hutton. We are sorry 

 to learn from Mr. Bohn that the book does not pay at the 

 present price ; and that he reserves to himself the right 

 of advancing it to non-subscribers immediately after the 

 publication of the concluding volume. We trust before 

 that time comes, however, the sale of the work will be 

 such as to render that step unnecessary. 



Devonshire Pedigrees. Recorded in the Heralds^ Visita- 

 tion of 1620 ; with Additions from the Harkian 3Ianu- 

 scripts and the printed Collections of Westcote and Pote, 

 By John Tuckett. (Aslibee & Dangerfield.) 



This is, we believe, one of the first attempts to turn 

 the art of Lithography to account in the reproduction of 

 an extensive series of Pedigrees. The work is calculated 

 to gratify all students of genealogy, but more especially 

 those interested in the Worthies of Devonshire ; and as 

 Mr, I'uckett is very particular in giving precise refer- 

 ences to the sources from which the pedigrees are taken, 

 the volume must eventually become an authority on the 

 subject of Devonshire Pedigrees. 



Ulrichi Hiitteni Equltis Germani Opera qum reperiri 

 poluerunt omnia. Edidit Eduardus Bocking. Volumen I. 

 EpistolcB A. 1506 — 1520. Leipsic, 8vo. (Williams & 

 Norgate.) 



The present, which is the first volume of the writings 

 of this remarkable man, contains the Epistles written bj^ 

 or to him during the period between 1506 and 1520, col- 

 lected and annotated by Dr. Bocking, and accompanied 

 by a vast mass of curious illustrative materials. The 

 work is preceded bj' an 



Index Bibliographictis Htdtenianus. Verzeichniss der 

 Schriften Ulrichs von Hutten heraiisgegeben von Eduard 

 Bocking, 



which is also published separately, and will be found of 

 great use to all who collect the writings of the prin- 

 cipal, if not sole, author of the Epistolce Obscurorum Vi- 

 rorum. 



Books Received. — 



Village Belles. A Tale of Country Life. By the Au- 

 thor of ^^ Mary Powell." (Bentley.) 



A neat reprint of one of the popular tales of this popu- 

 lar writer. 



Evelyn's Diary and Correspondence. Vols. III. and IV. 

 (^Bohn's Historical Library.^ (Bohn.) 



This cheap revised and illustrated edition of one of the 

 most interesting historical works in our language, is now 

 completed in a form, and at a price, which renders it ac- 

 cessible to readers of almost every class. 



Love Letters of Eminent Persons. Edited by Charles 

 Martel. (LaJ^) 



This is a capital idea, but one which required consider- 

 able judgment in its treatment. We think that one 

 essential point has been overlooked, namely, that no let- 

 ters but those which were unquestionably authentic 

 should be inserted. Surelj', had they been authentic. 

 Lady Henrietta Berkeley's Letters ought never to have 

 been republished — but their genuineness is more than 

 doubtful.
