NOTES AND QUERIES. 



2nd s. Yiii. Aug. 6. 



to produce. Let us glance at its contents. What a pic- 

 ture of the state of a powerful lady in the good old times 

 may we gather from the Inventory of Juliana de Leybonie. 

 What light is thrown on the history of a man who 

 boasted at once the friendship of Erasmus and the jea- 

 lousy of Wolsey by the Letters of Archbishop Warham. 

 How well has Mr. tloach Smith described, and how beau- 

 tifully has Mr. Fairholt illustrated, the Kentish Anglo- 

 Saxon Remains. What an agreeable sketch have vre of 

 the manuscript riches of the county in the paper on The 

 Surrenden Charters, with its admirable facsimiles; and 

 Mr. Wykeham Martin's pleasant supplement on the Letter 

 of William of Wyheham. The learned biographer of the 

 Judges gives us, with special reference to Hackington, a 

 capital and well illustrated dissertation On the Collar of 

 SS. But we must not enter into the particular merits of in- 

 dividual papers, where all are good. On Ccesar's Landing 

 in Britain, by Mr. Hussey ; Cowden and its Neighbourhood, 

 by Mr. Blencowe; The Probatio ^tatis of TVtlliam de 

 Septvans ; Mr. Latter's paper On Early Pottery found in 

 Camden Park ; St. Mildred's, Canterbury, by Mr. Hussey ; 

 Queen Elizabeth Woodville ; Faversham Church, by Mr. 

 Church; Roman. Maidstone, by Mr. Post; Brasses in 

 Dover Castle, Sfc , by Mr. Herbert Smith; and lastly, 

 Sir Roger Twysden's Journal and the Pedes Finiiim re- 

 lating to Kent, by the learned and indefatigable Secre- 

 tary, the Rev. Lambert B. Larking, to whose influence, 

 from the respect for his learning and regard for his cha- 

 racter, felt by all who know him, the Society owes its 

 origin — complete a volume not only creditable to Kent, 

 and to all who have contributed to its production, but 

 which will — to use the words of Professor Stanley — 

 " render good service not only to Archajology, but to the 

 History of England." 



TTie Trilogy of Dante's Three Visions. Inferno, or the 

 Vision of Hell, translated into English in the Metre and 

 Triple Rhyme of the Original, with Notes and Illustrations. 

 By the Rev. John Wesley Thomas. (Bohn.) 



A volume highly creditable to Mr. Thomas for the ac- 

 curacy of the translation, and the easy flow of his triple 

 rhymes; and of great interest to readers who are not 

 familiar Avith the Italian language, from the notes with 

 which the translator has accompanied his version of this 

 portion of the Divina Commedia. 



Spiritual Songs, by the Rev. John Mason ; and Peni- 

 tential Cries, by the Rev. Thos. Shepherd. (Sedge- 

 wick.) 



This collection of Sacred Poetry first appeared in the 

 years 1683 and 1694. It is well worth reprinting, and 

 will supply most valuable additions to our modem 

 hymnals. Mr. Mason's hymns in particular have some- 

 times all the pathos of Watts, with greater elevation of 

 dignity.
