NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2nd g. No 30., J0LY 26. '5G. 



of whom, under the influence of supposed wrong, he writes 

 angrily, not to say unjustly, should have" dictated many 

 omissions. There is no more delicate task than that of 

 selecting from the papers of those who have died full of 

 fame and honours those which may most fairly and 

 justly be given to the world. In his love and reverence 

 for the name of Robert Southey, and his belief that 

 Southey could do no wrong, his editor has not made those 

 suppi-essions which we are sure Southey himself would 

 have insisted on. Such omissions would have added 

 greatly to the charm of a book which Avill still be read 

 with interest bj' all the admirers of the Laureate. 



Tiie new number of The Quarterhj Review opens with a 

 well Avritten article, on that historical and religious 

 mystery, Savonarola : this is followed by one on the new 

 volumes of Grote, which are highly praised by the writer ; 

 and a graphic and picturesque article on The Causes of 

 the Civil War, completes the list of historical papers. 

 The political articles treat on The Papal Government and 

 The Dispute ivith America ; and the gossiping article, 

 always a good one in The Quarterlif, is that entitled The 

 Police and the Thieves. 



How much of its present popularity Walton's Angler owes 

 to the piscatorial tendencies of our publishers is a pretty 

 matter for speculation. To that cause we are certainly 

 indebted for the beautiful editions of Bagster, John Major, 

 and Pickering ; and to this list we have now to add one 

 brought out by Bobn, of great beauty and marvellous 

 cheapness, under the editorship and supervision of Mr. 

 Jesse, but with large contributions from his own pen , When 

 we say that this edition contains upwards of two hundred 

 Avoodcuts, and six-and-twenty engravings on steel, our 

 readers will readily admit that this 7s. M. volume of 

 Bohn's Illustrated Library offers to ever.v lover of dear 

 old Izaak an opportunity of secui-ing a handsome copy of 

 this quaint, delightful, and world-renowned book. 



Much as we prize Croker's Boswell in one volume, a 

 most useful, indeed, indispensable companion to the 

 writing table of all literary men, we are well pleased to 

 hear that a new edition of it, in four volumes, is pre- 

 paring for publication in Murray's Series of British 

 Classics. It will be a most valuable addition to this 

 cheap and handsome Series ; especially as the editor will 

 of course take advantage of all that has been lately pro- 

 duced upon the subject, to make it, not a mere reprint, 

 but a new edition. 



We cannot resist calling the attention of the admirers 

 of the poet Cowper to the fact, that no less than foi-ty- 

 four of his letters (twenty-one of which are unpublished) 

 are to be sold by Messrs. Puttick & Simpson in the Col- 

 lection of Autographs belonging to the late Mr. Lambe, 

 announced for sale by them next week. 



Who has not heard of the celebrated Athenian 

 Stuart, perhaps better known to the last than to the 

 present generation ; but still revered by all true lovers of 

 the Fine Arts for the splendid work bearing his honoured 

 name — The Antiquities of Athens. The notices of his 

 death in 1788 inform us, that the worthy artist and 

 architect survived but a short time the death of his dar- 

 ling boy, the " very image and superscription " of himself 

 botli in body and mind, who manifested a most astonish- 

 ing turn for drawing even before he was three years of 

 age, and would imitate with pen and pencil everything 

 lying on his father's table. Another son was living at 

 the lime of his death, " a fine boj'," then at Mr. Burney's 

 boarding-school at Hammersmith. Many an octogena- 

 rian will be glad to learn, that this "fine boy" (now 

 Lieut. James Stuart, R.N.), the worthy son of a worth}' 

 father, might have been seen a few days since at the 

 Architectural Library in High Holborn, where he was 

 presented by Mr. John Weale, in a most handsome man- 



ner, with proof impressions of plates of his father and 

 of the companion of his travels, Nicolas Kevett.
