The Camden Society, of which the fourteenth An- 

 nual Meeting on Monday last passed off most success- 

 fully, has just issued to its Members The Chronicle of 

 The Grey Friars of London, edited from a MS. in the 

 Cottonian Library in the British Museum. This very 

 interesting document, which altogether escaped the 

 research of the industrious and voluminous Strype, 

 though it had passed through the hands of Stowe, who 

 bad either the possession or the loan of the original 

 MS., was written by one of the Grey Friars, who 

 appears to have watched narrowly, and recorded care- 

 fully, the religious changes of the times, more particu- 

 larly those which occurred within the sphere of his 

 personal observation in the city of London, and the 

 metropolitan church of St. Paul. As he retained pos- 

 session of his register, and continued his labours after 

 the dissolution of his house, and the dismissal of the 

 rest of his fraternity, he has preserved to us many par- 

 ticulars of great historical value; and his work has 

 this additional claim to attention, that, whereas the 

 majority of the existing documents are records of the 

 Reforming party, this comes from one of the Reformed, 

 and presents us accordingly with the other side of the 

 Case. The work is edited by Mr. J. G. Nichols, whose 

 name is a sufficient guarantee for the fidelity with 

 which the document is printed, and the learning and 

 care bestowed upon its illustration. 



The Publications of the Antiquarian Etching Club. — 

 Part III., 1851, presents us with no less than thirty- 

 three etchings by Members of the Club (of course of 

 various degrees of merit), of objects of antiquarian 

 interest, comprising Ecclesiastical, Military, and Do- 

 mestic Edifices, Fonts, Sepulchral Monuments, Por- 

 traits, Fac-similes, copies of rare prints, and numerous 

 other vestiges of antiquity calculated at once to in- 

 struct the archaeologist, and preserve in a pictorial 

 form a record of much which, but for the burins of the 

 members of this useful little Society, might have been 

 lost for ever. 



It is but a few weeks since we noticed the admir- 

 able second volume of the Catalogue of the London 

 Library, by Mr. J. G. Cochrane. We have now to 

 record the death of that gentleman on Tuesday last. 

 He was a most worthy man, and a good scholar ; and 

 possessed a vast fund of bibliographical knowledge. 

 His death therefore will be felt, not only by his own 

 immediate friends, but also by the institution which 

 he had served so ably and so zealously ever since its 

 formation. 



It would be treason to the Brothers Grimm, and to 

 our own love of the literature of the people, if we did 

 not notice and (as it deserves it) say a good word of a 

 new and complete translation of the world-renowned 

 Kinder und Haus Mlihrchen, which Messrs. Addey have 

 commenced publishing under the title of Grimm's 

 Household Stories. They are very faithfully translated 

 from the last edition ; and we specify this because the 

 little Almaine 4to. first edition of 1819 has long been 

 one of our household books, and finding that the trans- 

 lation did not agree with the versions there given, we 



have compared it with the edition of 1843, and so dis- 

 covered, first, that the translator has used the later edi- 

 tion ; and secondly, what we were not till now aware 

 of, namely, that these great scholars, Wilhelm and 

 Jacob Grimm, amid their more learned labours, have 

 not disdained to revise and enlarge their collection of 

 nursery stories, which have been the delight of the 

 children of all Europe. What a justification is this 

 for the attention which is bestowed in " N. &; Q." oa 

 our own English Folk Lore !
