NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 169. 



what he wrote, in his Private Meditations, Devotions, 

 and Prayers, now for the first time printed from his 

 original manuscripts preserved in the library of Sion 

 College, London. Much praise is due to the editor for 

 bringing this manuscript before the public, as well as 

 for the careful superintendence of the press ; and we 

 sincerely hope he will continue his labours of research 

 in Sion College as well as in other libraries. 



There are doubtless many of our readers who echo 

 Ben Jonson's wish that Shakspeare bad blotted many 

 a line, referring of course to those characteristic of the 

 age, not of the man, which cannot be read aloud. To 

 all such, the announcement that Messrs. Longman have 

 commenced the publication in monthly volumes of a 

 new edition of Bowdler's Family Shakspeare, in which 

 nothing is added to the original text, hut those words and 

 expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety he 

 read in a family, will be welcome intelligence. The 

 work is handsomely printed in Five-Shilling Volumes, 

 of which the first three are already published. 



Books Received. — Memoirs of James Logan, a dis- 

 tinguished Scholar and Christian Legislator, 8;c., by 

 Wilson Armistead. An interesting biography of a 

 friend of William Penn, and one of the most learned of 

 the early emigrants to the American Continent.— Yide- 

 Tide Stories, a Collection of Scandinavian and North 

 German Popular Tales and Traditions. The name of 

 the editor, Mr. Benjamin Thorpe, is a suflficient gua- 

 rantee for the value of this new volume of Bohn's 

 Antiquarian Library. In his Philological Library, 

 Mr. Bohn has published a new and enlarged edition 

 of Mr. Dawson W. Turner's Notes on Herodotus : while 

 in his Classical Library he has given The Phnrsalia of 

 Lucan literally translated into English Prose, with Copious 

 Notes, by H. T. Riley, B.A. ; and has enriched his 

 Scientific Library by the publication of Dr. Clialmers's 

 Bridgewater Treatise on the Power, Wisdom, and Good- 

 ness of God, as manifested in the Adaption of External 

 Nature to the 3Ioral and Intellectual Constitution of Man, 

 with the author's last corrections, and a Biographical 

 Preface by Dr. Cumming. 



Photographic Manipulation. The Wax-paper Process 

 of Gustave Le Gray, translated from the French, pub- 

 lished by Knight & Sons; and Hennah's Directions for 

 obtaining both Positive and Negative Pictures upon Glass 

 by means of the Collodion Process, 8fc., published by 

 Delatouche & Co., are two little pamphlets which will 

 repay the photographer for perusal, but are deficient in 

 that simplicity of process which is so much to be de- 

 sired if Photography is to be made more popular.
