NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd s. VIII. Aug. 27. '59. 



have here before us a learned and ingenious Essay, which 

 will, we doubt not, carry conviction to the minds of 

 many readers that Caesar sailed from Boulogne and landed 

 oii the western side of the Creek of Limne, We ought to 

 add that Mr. Lewin's Essay is well illustrated, and that 

 the thanks which he bestows on his relative, Mrs. S. 

 Lewin, for the time and pains bestowed on such illustra- 

 tions is very justly deserved. 



3farco Griffi, the Italian Patriot. By Mrs. Webb. 

 (Bentley.) 



This tale by Mrs. Webb, which is in itself one of great 

 interest, possesses an additional interest at the present 

 moment, when the ej'es of all Europe are watching with 

 such intense anxiety the progress of events in that fair 

 country, whose fields have lately been deluged with the 

 blood of so many brave men — blood which will not 

 have been altogether shed in vain, if it has contributed, 

 however indirectly, to procure for the Italians that con- 

 stitutional freedom which will at once give Italy her 

 proper place among the nations of Europe, and Europe 

 one of her best guarantees for future tranquillity. 



Geology in the Garden ; or the Fossils in the Flint Peb- 

 bles, with 106 Illustrations. By the Rev. Henry Eley, 

 M.A. (Bell & Daldy.) 



We cordially welcome whatever tends to make this 

 fascinating science more generally accessible. We may 

 now literally study geology in our gardens, for Mr. Eley 

 shows us that numberless beautiful fossils are to be found 

 in our gravel-paths, and that we may there find convinc- 

 ing proofs of many of those vast physical changes which 

 have prepared this earth for its present inhabitants. 



" Under Government : " an official Key to the Civil Ser- 

 vice of the Crown. By 3. C. Parkinson. (Bell & Daldy.) 



What " Burke " is to the Peerage, and " Dodd " to 

 the politician, this useful compilation, "Under Govern- 

 ment," will henceforth be to our Civil Service. All can- 

 didates for Civil emploi'ment under the Crown may now 

 consult their " Parkinson " with a certainty of finding in 

 it information on which they may rely ; while those who 

 have already passed that Rubicon may ascertain from it 

 their precise position, and their chances of promotion. 



The Naval History of Great Britain, from the Declara- 

 tion of War by France in 1793, to the Accession of George 

 IV. A New Edition, with Additions and Notes. By 

 William James. Vols. III. and IV. (Bentley.) 



These, the Third and Fourth Volumes of Mr. Bentley's 

 well-timed republication of James's national work, contain 

 the annals of our navy during the eventful period which 

 intervened between the years 1800 and 1809, when 

 Strachan, Duncan, Collingwood, St. Vincent, and Nelson, 

 were achieving those acts of daring and skilful seaman- 

 ship which rendered the naval supremacy of England for 

 a while so unquestionable, that it is to be feared we have 

 since been losing sight of the necessity of maintaining it.
