NOTES AND QUERIES. 



2°d s. VIII. Oct, 15. '59. 



in 1549," by Nicholas Sotherton, and the " De Furoribus 

 Norfoldensium " of Nevylle, and corroborated ly Extracts 

 from the Privy Council Register, Documents preserved in 

 the State Paper and other Record Offices, the Harleian and 

 other MSS. ; and Corporation Town and Church Records. 

 By the Rev. F. W. Russell, M.A., F.S.A., &c. With Il- 

 lustrations. (Longman & Co.) 



Before we have a General History of England, written 

 with all the accuracj' and precision demanded by the 

 greatness of the subject, we must have manj' such His- 

 torical Monographs as that to which we are now about to 

 invite public attention. The leisure of nine years which 

 the Rev. F. W. Russell has devoted to the study and in- 

 vestigation of one historical event— certainly one of great 

 moment — has produced a volume which will be perused 

 with great satisfaction by the general reader as a pleasant 

 narrative of the events of that stirring period in English 

 history in which Kett and his followers played a by no 

 means unimportant part : and we beg the general reader 

 not to be misled by its ample title-page into the error of 

 believing the book to be but a bundle of dry bones. It is 

 nothing of the sort. It is pleasant and readable ; while 

 at the same time it contains such an important mass of 

 historical documents and evidence, drawn from every 

 available source of information, as to make it a contribu- 

 tion of the highest value to all future writers upon these 

 eventful times. We ought not to omit one word in praise 

 of the illustrations. 



Handbook of the Geography and Statistics of The Church. 

 By J. E. T. VViltsch. Translated from the German by 

 John Leitch, Esq. With a Preface by the Rev. F. D. 

 Maurice, M.A. Vol. I. (Bosworth & Harrison.) 



The pages of " N. & Q." have frequently given evi- 

 dence of the want of some satisfactory work on the 

 Geography of the Church. When lecturing on Eccle- 

 siastical History at King's College, some years since. 

 Professor Maurice felt this want ; and as Wiltsch's Hand- 

 buch seemed to meet his requirements better than any 

 other which he could hear of, he suggested to Mr. Leitch, 

 the well-known translator of O. MuUer's Introduction to a 

 Scientific System of Mythology, that he would be doing 

 good service to English students by placing an English 

 translation of Wiltsch within their reach. The result 

 is now before us ; and when we see the vast amount of 

 useful information which German industry has here 

 collected together, we readily agree with the opinion 

 expressed by Mr. Maurice that Mr. Leitch has conferred a 

 very great benefit upon schools, universities, and private 

 students by his enterprise, and that there can be no 

 doubt that ecclesiastical history will be studied with far 

 greater profit by those who have this handbook at their 

 side. The work will be completed in two volumes. The 

 present brings down the history of the Church to the 

 year 1073, and is made complete, as far as it goes, by a 

 very full Index. 



Books Received. — 



The Bye Lanes and Downs of England, with Turf 

 Scenes and Characters. By Sylvanus. Third Edition 

 revised. (Bentley.) 



A cheap reprint of a very pleasant chatty volume on a 

 subject in which every English country gentleman feels 

 more or less interest. 



British Ferns and their Allies : an Abridgment of " The 

 Popular History of British Ferns." By Thomas Moore, 

 F.L.S. Illustrated by W. S. Coleman. (Routledge & 

 Co.) 



If Mr. Moore is the especial Historian of British Ferns, 

 Messrs. Routledge are the especial publishers of works 

 on Natural History for the Million. Here we have for 

 a shilling an instructive, well written, and well illustrated 

 book on Ferns ! What can go bevond this ? 



Lord Byron's Poetical Works. Murray's Complete Edi- 

 tion. Parts VIII. and IX. (Murray.) 



The publication of Mr. Murray's Complete and remark- 

 ably cheap edition of Byron is thus brought to a close 

 by the issue of the eighth and ninth Parts. We are glad 

 to find that it is to be followed by an equally cheap edi- 

 tion of Moore's Life of the wayward poet. 



The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore. People's Edi- 

 tion. Part VII. (Longman & Co.) 



This seventh Part contains. Corruption and Intolerance ; 

 Sceptic; Twopenny Post Bag; and Satirical and Hu- 

 morous Poems. Some of the latter seem to grow more 

 bitter by age.
