NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 125. 



learned professor — who holds that wisely to disbelieve is 

 »ur first grand requisite in dealing with materials of 

 Oiixed worth — has followed, but not slavishly, the di- 

 rection which Niebuhr's erudition and untiring energy- 

 have so appropriated, that by many it has been sup- 

 posed to be exclusively Niebuhr's own ; and the result 

 is, that he has reconstructed a picture of ancient Rome, 

 to which we refer our classical readers, in the full con- 

 fidence that they will thank us for doing so ; and that, 

 if they do not, on perusal, agree with all Mr. Newman's 

 views, they will at least concede to him the credit due 

 to great learning and perspicuity. 



When we consider the great influence which the 

 Crusades exercised on the civilisation of Europe — how 

 prominent is the position they occupy in the social and 

 political history of their era — and how fertile a source 

 of wealth they have proved to the poets and novelists 

 of all succeeding ages, and of all countries — it is cer- 

 tainly a matter of surprise that amid the rage for trans- 

 lation which has of late years manifested itself among 

 «s, no one should have undertaken to lay before the 

 English reader a translation of Michaud's able and in- 

 teresting narrative of this great chapter in the history 

 of the Middle Ages.. Michaud's work acquired for its 

 author, and very deservedly, an European reputation ; 

 and in issuing a well-executed version of it at a mode- 

 rate price, the publisher of Michaud's History of the 

 Crusades, Translated from the French by W. Robson, is 

 Tendering good service, not only to those who cannot 

 peruse the work in the original, but to all classes of 

 historical readers. This (the first volume) has pre- 

 fixed to it a very interesting memoir of Michaud. 



Books Received.-— Mr. Bohn's contributions to the 

 cheap publications of the month are — in his Scientific 

 Library, the fourth volume. of Humboldt's Cosmos, trans- 

 lated by Otte and Paul ; in his Standard Library, 

 The Principal Works and Remains of the Rev. Andrew 

 Fuller, with a new Memoir of his Life, by his Son the 

 Jtev. A. G. Fuller, which contains his Gospel its own 

 Witness, or the Holy Nature and Divine Hirmony of the 

 {Christian Relitjinn contrasted with the Immorality and 

 Absurdity of Deism ; and his Calvinistic and Socinian 

 Systems examined and compared as to their moral tendency 



two works by which this excellent Nonconformist 



divine did much to stem the torrent of immorality and 

 infidelity which the deistical and democratical writers 

 of his time were infusing into the minds of the people. 

 Cicero's Orations, Vol. ii., literally translated by C. 

 D. Yonge, is the new volume of the Classical Library; 

 that of the Illustrated Library being the second and 

 concluding volume of Allan's Battles of the British 

 Navy, illustrated with eighteen portraits of our most 

 eminent naval worthies. The proprietors of the Na^ 

 tional Illustrated Library have completed their edition 

 of Hue's most interesting Travels in Tartary by the 

 publication of the second volume, and have issued a 

 new edition in two volumes of Dr. Mackay's Memoirs 

 ■of Extraordinary Popular Delusions. The favour with 

 which the original edition of this work, written in a 

 pleasant gossiping style, was so generally received, will 

 probably be increased towards the present one, as it 

 has the advantage of numerous woodcut illustrations, 

 many of them highly interesting, and all adding to the 

 aiquslng character of the book.
