NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[Dec. 15. 1855. 



traordinaiy fidelity by Messrs. Nethercliff and Son, and 

 occupies no less than sixteen large quarto pages, that the 

 text of the two MSS. has been carefully collated, and 

 the whole illustrated with great learning by Dr. Bosworth, 

 we have said enough to show the great value and im- 

 portance of this new monument to the patriotism and 

 learning of Alfred the Great. 



It seems to be the peculiar vocation of Parker of 

 Oxford to furnish Manuals carefully compiled, hand- 

 somely printed, and beautifully illustrated, for the especial 

 use of archaeological students. To the list of publications 

 of this character, already issued by him, we have now to 

 add Ancient Armour and Weapons in Europe, from the 

 Iron Period of the Northern Nations to tfie End of the 

 Thirteenth Century, with Illustrations from Contemporary 

 Monuments. By John Hewitt. The volume seems to be 

 a worthy addition to the series to which it may be said 

 to belong, and, as such, wilt find a welcome resting-place 

 oa the bookshelves of many an archaeologist. 



Among the various books waiting for our notice, is one 

 New Zealand and its liJiabitants, 8fc., by the Rev. Richard 

 Taylor, F.G.S., in whicli will be found a banquet suited 

 to the taste of all classes of readers. In the chapters on 

 the customs, mythology, songs, proverbs, and folk lore, a 

 rich and dainty repmst is provided for the curious in these 

 matters; whilst the linguist, geologist, naturalist, orni- 

 thologist, and the man of commerce, will also here find 

 something gratifying to their respective tastes. And 

 even good Izaak Walton, who so loved and admired the 

 orthodoxy of George Herbert and Richard Hooker, would 

 willingly pardon what he would conceive the equivocal 

 churchmanship of the author, for the pleasure afforded 

 to the piscatorial brotherhood, in his delineations of the 

 beauties of nature, the verdant banks of rivers, and the 

 well-described account of the finny tribes in this part 

 of our beautiful planet. The work is, moreover, a beau- 

 tiful specimen of tj'pographic and pictorial art ; for it 

 contains a map of New Zealand, sixty-six engravings 

 and vignettes, seven coloured plates ; and, though last, 

 not least, a copious Inde.K. It will, therefore, be a wel- 

 come Christmas Present not only to all who are imme- 

 diately connected with New Zealand, but to all interested 

 in the history of one of our most important colonies.

 do him injustice in closing this subject before admitting his reply. His 

 silence in ow columns will not, ive trust, after our expfaaation, be miscon-

 on this question will receive the attention of all who are of opinion that 

 the subject is one deserving of further investigation,
