NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 260. 



Caleb Stukely (Vol. x., p. 306.)- — The author 

 of this novel is Samuel Phillips, Esq., who died at 

 Brighton on the 14th inst., and respectinor whom 

 there is a notice in The Times of the 17th inst. 

 The article on " Literature for the People," which 

 appeared in The Times of Feb. 5, 1854, is attri- 

 buted to the same gifted writer, as well as that on 

 " The Common Law and Equity Reports," in The 

 Times of Oct. 6, 1854. J. Y. 



■ Charles Povey (Vol. x., pp. 7. 155.). — His 

 death is thus noticed in the obituary of the Scots' 

 Magazine for May, 1743, vol. v. p. 247. : 



" Aged upwards of 90, Mr. Charles Povey, well known 

 for his many schemes and projects, particularly the Sun 

 Fire Office, from which he had 150/. a year." 



The place of his death is not stated, but from the 

 mode in which the obituary is printed, it would be 

 inferred that he died in Germany, or at the 

 German Spa. G. N. 



NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



Those of our readers who remember the interesting 

 Letters from Coleridge to Charles Lamb, on the subject 

 ■of Daniel's poems, which we published in " N. & Q." of 

 7th August, 1852, will with us be glad to hear that A 

 Selection from the Poetical Works of Samuel Daniel, with 

 a Biographical Introduction and Notes, by John Morris, 

 Member of the Somersetshire Archaological Society, is 

 about to appear at the commencement of the ensuing 

 year. The price of the volume is to be 7s. Gd., and the 

 copies issued limited to the number of subscribers. 



Mr. Delias, whose name is so well known for the dili- 

 gence with which he has studied the literature of Shak- 

 speare and his cotemporaries, and for his efforts to make 

 that knowledge accessible to the German public, is about 

 to edit, with notes and illustrations, the old play of 

 Edward the Third. 



Books Ekceived. — The Works of William Cowper, 

 comprising his Poems, Correspondence, and Translations, 

 with a Life of the Author by the Editor, Robert Southey, 

 LL.D. Vols. V. and VI. of this cheap and excellent 

 edition of Southey^s Cowper in Bohn's Standard Library, 

 contain his Poetical Works. — Nordufari, or Rambles in 

 Iceland, by Pliny Miles, which forms the new issue (Parts 

 LXVIII. and LXIX.) of Longman's Traveller's Library, 

 is a graphic and very lively narrative. The book is 

 thoroughly " American," and therefore not the less amus- 

 ing. — Eine Winternachtsmahr von William Shakspeare, 

 Uebersetzt von Carl Abel. This new translation of Shak- 

 speare's Winter's Tale claims to be more faithful than 

 any that has yet appeared in German. It certainly is 

 very well and very closely translated. — Practical Illus- 

 trations of the Principles of School Architecture, by Henry 

 Barnard. This American contribution to a subject now 

 attracting much attention in this countrj', is worth the 

 notice of our English architects. — Gibbon's History of the 

 Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, with variorum Notes, 

 Volume the Fifth. This new volume of Mr. Bohn's British 

 Classics' edition of Gibbon extends from chap, xliv., 

 which treats of the Koman Jurisprudence, to chap. I., 

 Which is devoted to the History of Mahomet. — The 

 Farther Adventures of Mr. Verdant Green, an %>xford 



Undergraduate, by Cuthbert Bede, B.A., tvith 50 Illustra- 

 tions by the Author. We have received, read, and enjoyed 

 a hearty laugh at this new series of Mr. Verdant Green's 

 adventures ; but as for reviewing it in the sedate columns 

 of "N. &Q."— Nol
