NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[July 21. 1855. 



NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



Mr. Akerman has brought to a close his Remains of 

 Paqan Saxondom, principally from Tumuli in England, by 

 thT publication of Parts XVII. XVIII. XIX. and XX., 

 which contain, with illustrative notes, Plates 33. Jewelled 

 Clasps from Hampshire, Spoon from a Barrow at Chatham ; 

 34, FibulcB found in Norfolk, Wilts, and Kent ; 35. Ob- 

 jects found in Suffolk, Wilts, and Kent ; 36. Fork, Amber, 

 and Spindle Whirls; 37. Fibula from Linton Heath, Cam- 

 bridge ; 38. Large dirk-shaped Fibula: found in Bucking- 

 hamshire ; 39. Objects found in Suffolk, Norfolk, Wilts, 

 and Kent ; and 40. Fibula Hairpins and Necklace. The 

 value and utility of a work like the present, in which the 

 objects are carefully drawn from, and as nearly as possible 

 the size of, the originals, was shown at the last meeting 

 of the Society of Antiquaries, when the remarkable urn 

 and its contents, found at Eye in Suffolk, and figured in 

 Plate 22., formed the subject of a most learned cotnmu- 

 nication from Mr. J. M. Kemble, satisfactorily establish- 

 ing their Sclavonic character. 



The Illustrated London News of Saturday last an- 

 nounces that " the name and fate of Pope's Unfortunate 

 Lady are known to the forthcoming editors of Pope, who 

 derive their authority from Molly Lepel (Lady Hervey), 

 whose means of information were indeed ample." We hope 

 that this announcement may be received as an indication 

 that the new edition of Pope is nearly ready for pub- 

 lication. 



Books Received. — The Poetical Works of Geoffrey 

 Chaucer, Vol. V. This new volume of Parker's Annotated 

 Edition of the British Poets is most creditable to its editor. 

 It contains old Geoffrey's eminently poetical version of 

 Troylus and Cryseyde, with a carefully-written introduc- 

 tion ; and a collation, for the first time we believe, of the 

 printed edition with three early MSS. of the Poem. 



The Influence exerted by the Mind over the Body, by 

 John Glen, M.A. This little volume, which contains the 

 Bulwer Lytton Prize Essay on the subject to which it 



refers asubject, indeed, of the very highest interest and 



importance — is well deserving of attentive perusal, and 

 will repay the time devoted to that purpose. 



Ogilvie's Supplement to the Imperial Dictionary, English, 

 Technological, and Scietitijic, Parts VI. and VII. These 

 two numbers, which complete this useful appendix to all 

 dictionaries, contain, besides its alphabetical additions, 

 three Supplements, comprising : 1. Pronouncing Vocabu- 

 lary of Greek and Latin Proper Names ; 2. Pronouncing 

 Vocabulary of Scripture Proper Names ; and lastly, 3. A 

 similar Vocabulary of Modern Geographical Names.
