NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2"d S. No 81., JuLT 18. '67. 



the Historical Associations, the Fortifications, the Archi- 

 tecture and the Armories of this celebrated Fortress will 

 be given by A. Ashpitel, Esq., F.S.A., C. Bailey, Esq., 

 F.S.A., Rev! C. Boutell, M.A., Hon. Sec. of the "Society, 

 F. W. Fairholt, Esq., F.S.A., Rev. Thos. Hugo, M.A., 

 F.S.A., J. Whichcord, Esq., F.S.A., and A. White, Esq. 

 The Members and Friends of the Society will assemble 

 on the Tower Green at twelve o'clock precisely, and the 

 Tower will be closed at four o'clock p.m. The Admission 

 will be by Cards only, and Members and Visitors are re- 

 quested not to give up their Cards until they leave the 

 Tower. A series of Papers upon the Tower of London 

 will be read at the next Evening Meeting of the Society. 

 It is proposed to hold Meetings of the Society at West- 

 minster Abbej', and at Hampton Court, early in the Au- 

 tumn, of which due notice will be given. 



Albeit somewhat cramped this week for space to notice 

 Books, we have received one of a character so identical 

 with the object of the two Societies, whose proposed saj'- 

 ings and doings we have just announced, that we feel 

 compelled to call attention to it. It is the History of the 

 Town and Parish of T'etbury in the County of Gloucester, 

 compiled from original MSS. and other authentic Sources, 

 by the Itev. Alfred T. Lee, M.A. Mr. Lee's name must 

 be familiar to our readers from the industry with Avhich 

 he has pursued, in the columns of " N. & Q.," his in- 

 quiries into the History of Tetbury ; a like industry 

 has been employed in collecting materials from other 

 available sources, and the result is a volume which will 

 gratify the good people of Tetbury, and find a place upon 

 the shelves of every Gloucestershire collector. 



Appropriate to the present moment, when all who can 

 fl}' from this hot metropolis are bent on doing so, is Mr. 

 Charnock's Guide to tJie Tyrol, comprising Pedestrian 

 Tours made in Tyrol, Styria, Carinthia, and Salzkammer- 

 gut, during the Summer of 1852 and 1853. As a brief re- 

 cord of personal experience, this little volume, which 

 would occupy small space in a corner of the knapsack, 

 will, we have no doubt, prove a most useful companion 

 to any one who proposes to follow the author's footsteps 

 through the beautiful scenery to be found among the 

 mountains and valleys of the Tyrol. 



In the present condition of the country few books are 

 of more utility than those which give plain practical in- 

 formation respecting our colonies. Tlie New Zealand 

 Settler's Guide, by Capt. J. R. Cooper (Stanford), is just 

 such a book. Captain Cooper is intimately acquainted 

 with the country he describes, and he writes without pre- 

 tence or affectation ; usefulness only has been his aim. 

 He describes a very beautiful country rapidly rising in 

 importance. Its claims upon the attention of persons de- 

 sirous to emigrate are stated with great clearness and 

 precision.

NOTES AND QUERIES. 



FXRST SSRXES, Vols. Z. to XXX. 



" The utility of such a volume, not only to men of letters, but to well- 

 informed readers generally, is too obvious to require proof, more es- 

 pecially when it is remembered that many of these references (between 

 30,000 and 40,000) are to articles which themselves point out the best 

 sources of information npou their respective subjects." — TAe Times, 

 June 28, 1856. 



" Here we have a wonderful whet to the First Series of NOTE8 

 AND QUERIES, exciting the appetite of those who do not yet possess 

 it, and forming that kind of necessary accompaniment to it which 

 must be procured by those who do. * * « Practically, in fact, the 

 value of the First Series of NOTES AND QUERIES as a work of 

 reference is doubled to all students by this publication." — .Examiner, 

 July 12th. 



" A GENERAL INDEX to the valuable and curious matter in the 

 First and completed Series of NOTES AND QUERIES is a great 

 boon to the literary student. * * * Having already had occasion to 

 refer to it on various points, we can bear testimony to its usefulness."
