NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Nov. 3. 1855. 



Somersetshire Archoeohgieal and Natural History So- 

 ciety : Proceedings during the Year 1854, contains several 

 excellent papers, and, what we hold to be specially de- 

 serving of praise, all refer to the county of Somerset. It 

 certainly ought to be the rule with local Societies, to 

 make the archaeology and history of their own localities 

 the object of their exclusive attention. This rule is well 

 observed by the Somersetshire Society. 



The Ferns of Great Britain, illusfrated by John E. 

 Sowerby, Proprietor of Sowerby's English Botany. The 

 Descriptions, Synonym<!, ^-c, by Charles Johnson, Esq., 

 Botanical Lecturer at Guy's Hospital. At a time like the 

 present, when our dwellers in towns find so much interest 

 in the cultivation of this beautiful order of plants, every 

 ■work illustrative of its history, and calculated to facilitate 

 the arrangement and preservation of specimens, must be 

 welcome; more especially one which, like the present, 

 comes recommended with such guarantees for its accuracy 

 on its title-page. 



The Private Devotions of Dr. William Laud, Archbishop 

 of Canterbury, and Martyr. A reprint, in the handsome 

 manner for which Parker of Oxford is so celebrated, of 

 Laud's Summarle of Devotions, from the edition of 1667. 



The English Bible, containing the Old and New Testa- 

 ments according to the authorised version, newly divided into 

 Paragraphs, Sfc. Part V. Joshua and Judges ; Part VI. 

 1 & 2 Samuel ; Part VII. 1 Kings. Three more parts of 

 a Paragraph Bible, which we have already, on more than 

 one occasion, recommended to students of our noble En- 

 glish version. , 



The Way of Salvation, illustrated in a Series of Dis- 

 courses, by the Rev. Albert Barnes. These Sermons, by 

 the well-known American commentator, are intended to 

 meet the difficulties of those who would gladly see their 

 difficulties removed, and in meeting which the author ac- 

 knowledges his great obligations to Butler's Analogy, " a 

 work which has aided him more in preaching than any 

 other work of uninspired composition." 



Becker's German Grammar, carefully revised and 

 adapted to the Use of English Students, by J. W. Fraeders- 

 dorf. No better evidence can be given of the value of 

 Becker's German Grammar for English Students, than 

 the fact that it is the one which has been selected for 

 their use by the German Professor of the Taylor Institu- 

 tion at Oxford. 



A New System of French Conversation, adapted for 

 Schools and Self - Instruction, by Jules D. Roy. Second 

 edition, revised and improved by F. Lorin. Seems well 

 calculated to promote the object for which it is published, 

 namely, " to enable students to attain a practical use of 

 the French language, with a moderate expenditure of 

 time and labour."
