NOTES AND QUERIES. 



495 



111. 15s, 145. Bible, one of the earliest, in which 1 Tim. 

 iv. 16. reads "Thy" instead of "The doctrine," Cam- 

 bridge, 1G63, 15/. 15s. ; 193. A Parte of a Register, being 

 a collection of 42 Puritanical tracts on ecclesiastical disci- 

 pline, including Udall's famous Demonstration, for the 

 writing of which he was sentenced to be hanged, 6/. 12s. 6d. 

 220. Dugdale's Antiquities of Warwickshire, enlarged by 

 W. Thomas, 2 vols., 1730, 33/. 10s. 249. Hearne's col- 

 lection of works relating to English History and Topo- 

 graphy, 65 vols., large paper, 275/. 414. Ai-chbishop 

 Laud's Conference with Fisher the Jesuit ; with the Arch- 

 bishop's autograph, " W. Cant," 6/. 12s. Gd. 429. Shak- 

 speare's Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies, first edition, 

 1623, 150/. ; the second edition sold for 17/. 10s. ; the third 

 for 50/.; and the fourth for 9/. 15s. 471. Savonarola's 

 Exposicyon of the 51st Psalme, Paris, 1538, 6/. 12s. 6c?. 

 529. Spenser's ivierieQweene, first edition, 1590-90, 10/. 10s. 

 552. Wilkins' (D.) Concilia Magnce Britannia:, 4 vols., 

 1737, 26/. 10s. The collection was particularly rich in 

 rare and curious old tracts of our early divines, which 

 uniformly produced very high prices. The three days' 

 sale brought nearly 2,000/. 



We presume Messrs. Puttick & Simpson hope to rea- 

 lise similar prices for some of the more valuable lots in 

 their forthcoming sale of Mr. Crofton Croker's library, 

 which is not only rich in works relating to Irish history 

 and its ballad poetry, but contains some valuable Ormonde 

 and Orrery MSS., formerly in the Southwell Collection, 

 which we hope the Tnistees of the British Museum will 

 not lose sight of Perhaps, after their neglect of the 

 Faussett Collection, that irresponsible body may think it 

 becoming not entirely to disregard Mr. Croker's extraor- 

 dinary collection of national antiquities, the sale of which 

 is to take place on the 21st. Those of our readers who 

 take an interest in primeval antiquities, will do well to 

 call at 191. Piccadilly as soon as this collection is on 

 view. 



The want of an authorised collection of hj'mns for the 

 use of our churches is one which is every day being 

 more intensely felt. A fresh attempt to supply this de- 

 ficiency is The Church Hymnal, a Book of Hymns adapted 

 to the use of the Church of England and Ireland, arranged 

 as they are to be sung in Churches, which has been formed 

 by the Rev. W. Denton, whose name is a sufficient se- 

 curity for the care with which the selection has been 

 made. 



We know not how far the issuing of a series of trans- 

 lations from the Latin Chroniclers of England is a profit- 

 able speculation to Mr. Bohn, but it is assuredly an 

 undertaking which is most creditable to him as a pub- 

 lisher. To those already put forth, he has just added 

 another and most interesiing one, being The Chronicle of 

 Florence of Worcester, witti the Two Continuutinns, com- 

 prising Annals of English History, from the Departure of 

 the Romans to the Reign of Edward I., translated, with Notes 

 and Illustrations, by Thomas Forester, M.A. 



The Vicar of Wakefield, a Tale by Oliver Goldsmith ; 

 with Illustrations by John Absolon, is a Christm;is book 

 which will find favour in the eyes of all those who ad- 

 mire tliis masterpiece of Goldsmith's easy and graceful 

 pen ; and which is here illustrated by the equally easy 

 and graceful pencil of John Absolon. 



Books VvKCV-iymx — Dictionary of Greek and Roman 

 Geography, edited by W. Smith, LL.'D. Part XI. of this 

 most valuable book, which extends from Laconia to 

 Macrobii. — Selections from the Writings of the Rev. Sydney 

 Smith, Parts III. and IV., containing his Letters on the 

 Catholic Question, &c., and his Three Letters on Arch- 

 deacon Singleton. This farther portion of the writings of 

 the witty Canon of St. Paul's forms Parts LXXI, and 

 LXXII. of Longman's Traveller's Library.
