some of your correspondents examining these or 

 other works of a genealogical or biographical 

 character, and letting me know if they find any 

 trace of this George Cromer, and of his appoint- 

 ments previous to his elevation to the primacy of 

 all Ireland, or indeed any notice of him. 



T. V. N. 



Scotch Episcopal Clergy (2°* S. viii. 329.) — 

 Although the following does not exactly answer J. 

 A. P.'s Query, it will, I think, be of service to 

 him. It is copied from p. 39. of a curious little 

 work in my possession, entitled Plain Reasons for 

 Presbyterian Dissenting from the Revolution Church 

 in Scotland, 1731. No date, place, or author's 

 name : — 



"The author of the Memoirs of the Church of Scotland 

 printed 1717, p. , informs that there were 165 cu- 

 rates in the actual and peaceable possession of their 

 Churches, Manses, Glebes, and Stipends at the time of 

 the Union, anno 1707 ; a list of their Names andParishes 

 where they lived was published at that time." 



Query. Does this list exist anywhere ?

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



The Works of George Herbert in Prose and Verse. 2 

 Vols. 8vo. (Bell & Daldy.) 



While the English language is spoken, and piety, 

 sweetness, and charity are esteemed among men, the 

 writings of George Herbert will be regarded as one of our 

 religious classics. These writings have frequently been 

 reprinted, and as frequently received fresh blemishes by 

 the mistakes of printers, and the carelessness of editors. 

 This observation does not apply, however, to the two 

 handsome volumes which are now before us. On them 

 Mr. VVhittingham has exercised his typographical skill, 

 while Mr. Yeowell has collated the texts with the early 

 copies, and so produced what may now fairly be considered 

 the standard edition of George Herbert's Works. Mr. 

 Yeowell's notes, especially those to the Life, are much to 

 the purpose, and give good earnest of the valuable infor- 

 mation we may look for in the edition of Walton's Lives 

 which he has been so long engaged upon. 



TAe Marvellous Adventures and Rare Conceits of Mas- 

 ter Tyll Owlglas, newly collected, chronicled, and set forth 

 in our English Tongue, by Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie. 

 And adorned with many most Diverting and Cunning De- 

 vices, by .\lfred Crowquill. (Triibner & Co.) 



Welcome Tyll Rulenspiegel in an English dress ! We 

 have read thy merrj' story in old Murner's crabbed Ger- 

 man, and old Copland's scarcely less crabbed English ; 

 and in that more modern, yet debased version, printed in 

 1720, of a copy of which we, like the late Mr. Douce and 

 Mr. Mackenzie, can fortunately boast the possession. 



We have thee on our shelves in all sorts of editions, from 

 the well-thumbed Volksbuch to the edition so deftly en- 

 riched with plates from the pencil of Cornelius, and that 

 so learnedly illustrated by the pen of Dr. Lappenberg : 

 and right glad are we to place beside them this hand- 

 some and prettih' illustrated volume, in which thy story 

 (exceptis excipiendis, for that is very needful,) is told to 

 English readers with no little quaintness, and its literary 

 history narrated with no niggard learning, by Mr. Mac- 

 kenzie. 



The new number of Bentley's Quarterly Review ex- 

 hibits the same vigour and power in its writers by which 

 its predecessors were distinguished; and it has the merit 

 of containing papers of very varied interest. France and 

 Europe, and Guizot's Memoirs, will please the politician. 

 The historical reader is catered for by articles on Momm- 

 sen's History of Rome, and Capefig-ue's Court of Louis tlie 

 Fifteenth. The man of science will read with interest the 

 paper on The Connection of the Physical Sciences, as the 

 antiquary those on Surrey and Shakspeai-ian Literature ; 

 while there is not a clubman in England who will lay down 

 Bentley's Quarterly without satisfaction after perusing 

 the article on English Field Sports and A/pine Travellers. 



Macmillan's Magazine, edited by David Masson, is a 

 new and clever addition to the present list of Monthly 

 Periodicals. Tom Brown at Oxford is the great feature 

 of the opening number, which contains many papers of 

 great talent. If Macmillan's Magazine is to be regarded 

 as the mouthpiece of Young Cambridge, Young Cam- 

 bridge clearly takes very advanced views on the subject 

 of secular education and universal suffrage. 



Books Received. — 



The Naval History of Great Britain from the Declara- 

 tion of War by France, in 1799, to the Accession of George 

 IV. By William James. A New Edition with Addi- 

 tions and Notes. Vols.V.^VI. (Bentley.) 



We have in these two volumes the conclusion of Mr. 

 Bentley's well-timed reprint of a work to which every 

 Englishman may turn with pride and satisfaction. If it 

 be true that Defoe's Robinson Crusoe has led many a lad 

 to run away to sea, we are sure that the introduction of 

 this cheap edition of James into our school libraries may 

 do much towards inducing our boys to embrace the Navy 

 as a profession.
