NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Oct. 13. 1855. 



which is here restored to its original beauty, — 

 " Thy waters wash'd them power while they were free." 



While on the subject of Murray's British Classics, we 

 may mention that the new edition of the Works of Pope, 

 under the editorship of Mr. Croker and Mr. Cunningham, 

 which is to form a part of this library, — owing, we pre- 

 sume, to the abundance of new materials placed at the 

 disposal of the editors, — is to extend to eight volumes 

 instead of six, as origuially announced ; and the new and 

 revised edition of the Works of Dean Swift, which is to 

 appear under the superintendence of Mr. Forster, is to be 

 comprised in nine volumes. 



Mr. Russell Smith announces a series of reprints in 

 volumes varying in price from 3s. to 6s., of such spe- 

 cimens of our earlier literature, as, from their interest as 

 illustrations of manners, literature, or history, or as 

 having had a once merited reputation, more especialh' 

 deserve republication at the present day. The collection 

 is to be entitled Library of Old Authors, and the works 

 reprinted are to be carefully edited with introductions 

 and notes, and, when necessary, glossaries. Among the 

 earlier volumes will be found the Works of Marston, 

 edited by Mr. Halliwell ; a new edition of Piers Plough- 

 man, by Mr. Wright; Selden's Table-Talk, and Spence's 

 Anecdotes, by Mr. Singer, and the Poetical Works of 

 Drummond of Hawthomden, by Mr. Turnbull. The un- 

 dertaking is one which certainly deserves the encourage- 

 ment of all lovers of Old English literature. 



Books Received. — The Poetical Works of Samuel 

 Butler, Edited by Robert Bell. — Vol. II., which completes 

 the Hudibras. Why has Mr. Bell departed from the practice 

 of previous editors in numbering the lines ? In all poems 

 of great length this arrangement is of great convenience, 

 from the facilities of reference which it thereby affords. 



The Church of England not descended from the Church 

 of Borne ; a Brief Record of various Historical Occur- 

 rences in the British Church before the Mission of St. Au- 

 gustin, by Caroline Catherine Lucas. In this short, but 

 carefully compiled, tract, we have materials for an answer 

 to the insidious question, to which all should be ready 

 to reply, " Where was your Church before the Reform- 

 ation? " and the separate and distinct origin of the An- 

 glican and Roman Churches briefly but plainly proved. 



The Hand Place-Book of the United Kingdom, contain- 

 ing References of Daily Use to upwards of Fifteen Thou- 

 sand Localities in Great Britain and Ireland, and General 

 Statistical Tables. The utility of this little volume, 

 which will scarcelj' occupy any room on the writing- 

 table, is plainly set forth in its ample title-page. 



The Science of Arithmetic, a Systematic Course of Nu- 

 merical Reasoning and Computation, with v^ry numerous 

 Exercises, by James Cornwell and Joshua G. Fitch. One 

 of the particulars in which this work is said to diifer from 

 others bearing a similar title, is alone sufficient to recom- 

 mend it, viz. that every process employed in the solution 

 of questions is referred to some general law or truth in 

 the theory of numbers. The whole work seems com- 

 posed in this very sensible spirit.
