NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



The Camden Society has, after a long silence, just 

 issued a volume. The Camden Miscellamj, Volume the 

 Second, which from the variety and interest of its 

 contents, cannot but be acceptable to all the members. 

 These contents are, I. Account of the Expenses of John 

 of Brahant, and Henry and Thomas of Lancaster, 

 1292-93. — II. Household Account of the Princess Eli- 

 zabeth, 1551-52. — III. The Bequeste and Suite of a 

 True-hearted Englishman, written bi/ William Cholmeley, 

 1553. — IV. Discovery of the Jesuits' College at Clerk- 

 enwell in March, 1627-28. — V. Trelawny Papers. — 

 VI. Autobiography of William Taswell, D. D. This, 

 which is the first book for the year 1852-53, will be 

 immediately followed by a volume of Verney Papers, 

 editing by Mr. Bruce; and this probably by The 

 Domesday of St. PatcFs, editing by Archdeacon Hale, 

 or The Correspondence of Lady Brilliana Harley, editing 

 by the Rev. T. T. Lewis. Early in the ensuing 

 Camden year, which commences on the 1st of May, 

 two volumes of considerable interest maybe looked for, 

 namely, The Roll of the Household Expenses of Richard 

 Swinfield, Bishop of Hereford, in the years 1289-90, 

 with illustrations from other and coeval Documents, by 

 the Rev. John Webb; and Regulce Inclusarum, The 

 Ancren Rewie, A Treatise on the Rules and Duties of 

 Monastic Life, addressed to a Society of Anchorites by 

 Simon of Ghent, a work valuable for philology, for it 

 is written in the semi- Saxon dialect of the thirteenth 

 century, and curious for its illustration of ancient 

 manners. It will be accompanied by a translation by 

 the Rev. James Morton, the editor. 



The Architectural, Archmological, and Historic So- 

 ciety for the County, City, and Neighbourhood of Chester, 

 has just published the Second Part of its Journal, in 

 which objects of local interest are made available for 

 much instructive information ; and to accomplish which 

 the conductors have, and as we think wisely, preferred 

 a great number of apt illustrations, executed without 

 any pretence to artistic skill, to a few expensive and 

 higlily-finished engravings. 



Our Dutch neighbours seem to enjoy as much as 

 ourselves the humour of Charles Dickens. Not only 

 is Bleak House regularly translated as it appears, but 

 in a bookseller's circular which has just reached us, we 

 see announced translations of the Sketches by Boz, and 

 of a Selection from Household Words. 



There is much tact required in writing for children, 

 and no small share of this is exhibited in a History of 

 France for Children, which Viscount Cranborne has 

 just compiled for the use of his nieces. The principal 

 events arc brought forward in succession, and related 

 in a plain, unaffected style, well calculated for youthful 

 readers.

 reception. — Ferdinand I. and Maximilian II. of Aus- 

 tria, or a view of the Religion and Political State of
