NOTES AND QUEKIES. 



[2nd s. NO 70., Mat 2. '57. 



meant endeavours to show the carelessness and indiffer- 

 ence to correct writing which characterise the worlis of 

 too manj' of our most distinguished authors. Mr. Breen 

 is an advocate for purity of style ; and his work, if widely 

 circulated, could not fail to do much towards correcting 

 the errors which he so temperately exposes. There is 

 much curious literarj' anecdotes in those divisions of the 

 work which treat of "Plagiarism" and "Literary Im- 

 postures." 



The dilficulty of procuring foreign pamphlets being ad- 

 mitted, collectors will be glad to hear that M. Huet, 

 Rue de Savoie, Paris, has lately resolved to publish cata • 

 logues of his vast collection. Four numbers have already 

 appeared, which may contain about 8000 articles. 



Our readers will be glad to hear that the great scheme 

 of the Master of the Rolls for the publication of the Ma- 

 terials of our eai;ly National History is already proceeding 

 with. A number of editors have been selected ; and we 

 believe that two of them, the Rev. Joseph Stevenson and 

 the Rev. Mr. Brewer, are nearly ready to go to press with 

 the works entrusted to them.

 Norman Kings. Translated from the German of Dr. 

 Lappenberg. By Benjamin Thorpe. This is a continua-

 Carrel. History of the Reign of James II., by the Rt. 

 Hon. C. J. Fox. Memoir of the Reign of James II., by

 which fetches guineas at an auction, is sufficient to give 

 great value to this new volume of Bohn's Standard Li- 

 brary.
