NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



The interest which must always be taken in the history 

 of the founders of the North American civilisation, renders 

 every fresh contribution to our knowledge upon that sub- 

 ject welcome to all historical students, whether of the 

 old country or the new. It is little wonder then that the 

 second of the series of Critical and Historical Tracts, by 

 the Rev. Joseph Hunter, being his Collections concerning 

 the Founders of New Plymouth, should soon be out of 

 print; or that the editor, tempted by the favour with 

 which that brochure, as well as his contributions to the 

 Massachusetts Historical Society, have been received — 

 and the success which has attended his farther researches 

 in the same direction, should be tempted to give the 

 whole to the world in a more complete form. This he 

 has done in a handsome octavo volume, entitled Collections 

 concerning the Church or Congregation of Protestant Sepa- 

 ratists, founded at Scrooby, in North Nottinghamshire, in 

 the Reign of King James I. ; the Founders of New-Pli/- 

 numth, the Parent Colony of New- Englaiid. This ample 

 title-page shows the object and general scope of the vo- 

 lume, which is one every way deserving of the reputation 

 of Mr. Hunter, as one of our most profound antiquaries. 



Mr. Boiin perseveres in his good work of supplying the 

 readers of English history with a series of translations of 

 the Monkish Chroniclers; and we liave this month to 

 thank him for the third and concluding volume of 3Iat- 

 iheio Paris' s English History, which extends from the 



fear l"23.i to 1273. This volume is made still more useful 

 y the addition of a General Index to Mattliew Paris and 

 Moger of Wriidover. 



ilr. Tyninis, the Honorary Secretary of the Suffolk 

 Institute' of Archa;ology and Natural History, has just 

 issued a IfandOool; of Bury St. Fdwitnd's, which will be 

 found a moat useful companion to the visitor of that in- 

 teresting locality. 



While on the subject of topography, we maj' also men- 

 tion with deserved commendation, the A'otes on the Anhi- 

 iecture and History of Caldiiot Ciistle, Monmouthshire, by 

 Octavious Morgan, Esq., and Thomas Wakeman, Esq., 

 which ha'^ just been issued by the Oaerleon Antiquarian 

 Association. 



Books Kk.ceived. — Remains of Pagan Sa.vondom

 T*art A., containing fibulae from a cemetery at Fairfonl, 

 in Gloucestershire, and fibulae found in Warwickshire and 

 Leicesterhliire. — Giblxm'ii Rome, with variorum Notes,

 Vol. IV., being the new volume of Holm's British Classics,

 Standard I.Uirary, he has issued a volume of considerable 

 political interest, namely, Huuqitry and its Revolutions, 

 Jrom the Earliest Period to tJw. S'ltietemth Century, with a 

 Memoir of Ijimis Kossuth. — Messrs. Longman, with a view 

 of renderinit their Traveller's Library a collection of works 

 of immediate interest, as well as of agreealile reading and 



Semtanent utilitv, have lately inserted in it several 

 earing on the kussian antl Turkish question, and the 

 Part just issued is one of these, and not the least valuable, 

 being H-mnut and Turkey, by J. K M'CuUoch, Esq., re- 

 printed with Correctiona from the Geographical Dictionary.
