NOTES AND QUERIES. 



C2n«» S. VIII. July 23. '59. 



sketches are furnished on the subject of Erasmus and 

 Burgon's Life of Tytler. A pleasant gossipy paper on 

 Annals and Anecdotes of Life Assurance balances another 

 on Mr. Chappell's valuable history of Popular Music of 

 the Olden Time, and the number is completed by one of 

 those graphic and well-written sketches of the English 

 counties which have formed features of the later Quar- 

 terlies — Berkshire, " the royal county,", forming the sub- 

 ject of the present paper. 



Bentley^s Quarterly Review. No. IL July. (Bentley.) 

 Bentley's Quarterly flushes its crimson banner boldly 

 before the whole army of litterateurs, as if ready to break 

 a lance with all or any of them. The present number is 

 strongly political, having no less than three articles on 

 subjects of political interest — The Faction Fights; France; 

 and The Campaign in Italy. The interests of Art also re- 

 ceive especial attention in the present number, in two 

 articles devoted to The Dramas of the Day and The Art 

 Exhibition o/1859. The Rev. Mr. Bellew, Mr. Spurgeon, 

 and the Rector of Winchilsea furnish materials for an in- 

 teresting paper on Popular Preaching. Philosophical 

 minds are catered for in an article on Modern German 

 Philosophy. Mr. Ross's excellent edition of Lord Corn- 

 wallis's Correspondence is the subject of a capital article 

 as much on Ireland as on Lord Cornwallis ; nor must we 

 omit to notice a well-written paper on Adam Bede and 

 other recent Novels.
