NOTES AND QUERIES. 



C2nd S. No 85., Aug. 15. '57. 



will, We are sure, join In the satisfaction with which we 

 learn that our suggestion as to the collection of Pro- 

 verbial Phrases will find a place in the new Prospectus; 

 and that the committee, while they have little doubt of 

 being enabled to print their collections, readily accede to 

 the proposal of depositing them, if not printed, in tlie 

 Library of the British Museum. Wo avail ourselves of 

 this opportunity of reproducing two lists communicated 

 to The Athenaum of Saturday last by Mr. Coleridge, the 

 Secretary : " one of worlds already undertaken, the other 

 of works still unoccupied and particularly recommended 

 to collectors;" and shall be very glad if this notice

The new edition of the Lord Chief Justice's Biography 

 of the Men of the Robe who have held the Seals is rapidly 

 drawing towards completion. We have now before us 

 vols. vii. and viii. of Lord Campbell's Lives of the Chan- 

 cellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, which 

 embrace the lives of Lord Camden, Lord Chancellor 

 Yorke, Lord Chancellor Bathurst, Lord Thurlow, Lord 

 Loughborough, and Lord Erskine. As there is no doubt 

 that the later biographies, in which Lord Campbell has 

 had access to original and family papers, are the most 

 valuable portions of his book, so also, as they treat of 

 men with whom the reader feels greater sympathy from 

 greater familiarity with their names, they are unquestion- 

 ably the most amusing. 



He who publishes a good Catalogue of Books does 

 good service to literature, and great kindness to men of 

 letters. Mr. Nutt is entitled to this praise, for he has 

 just issued a Catalogue of Foreign Books, occup3-ing up- 

 Avards of 700 pages, and containing a list of upwards of 

 7000 different works, " including The Sacred Writings ; 

 Fathers, Doctors of the Church, Schoolmen, and Ecclesi- 

 astical Ilistorians, to the death of Boniface VIIL, a.d. 

 1303; Jewish and Rabbinical Commentators; Works of 

 the Reformers, and of more recent Divines, Ascetical, Dog- 

 matical, Polemical, and Exegetical ; Liturgies, Rituals 

 and Liturgical Literature; Councils, Synoris, and Con- 

 fessions of Faith ; Monastic History and Rule ; Canon 

 and Ecclesiastical Law ; Church Polity and Discipline ; 

 Hebrew and Syriac Literature, &c. &c. 



George Cruikshank's quaint and most fanciful of 

 gravers proceeds with its pleasant task of showing us 

 The Life of Sir John Falstaff, while Mr. Brough as plea- 

 santly narrates it. The third and fourth parts, which are 

 now before us, give us most Cruikshankish pictures, and 

 most Brough-like description, of Sir John's ragged regi- 

 ment, of his share in the Gadshill robbery, his arrest at 

 the suit of Mrs. Quickly, and his most valorous, because 

 most discreet, conduct at the celebrated Battle of Shrews- 

 bury. 



Now that all the world is hurrying for train or steamer 

 — that our watering-places are full to overflowing — 

 some readers may be glad to be reminded how much of 

 beauty, and how much of historical interest, are to be 

 found in some of our midland counties, and may thank us 

 for reminding them of Warwickshire and its varied at- 

 tractions. If any such desire to visit Warwickshire, we 

 would advise them to make Slack's Picturesque Guide to 

 Warwickshire, with Map of the County, and numerous Il- 

 lustrations, their companion. They will find much useful 

 information in a very small compass.
