" Leigh Hunts Journal" (Vol. xi., pp.166. 235.). 

 — There are two distinct works, different in size 

 and character ; Leigh Hunt's Journal, as I men- 

 tioned in a former communication, and Leigh 

 HunCs London Journal, as described by D. 

 (p. 235.). It is doubtful which Mr. Geo. New- 



BOiiS requires.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



We have this week the pleasure of calling the attention 

 of our readers to a work which has just been issued by 

 the Irish ArchcBohgical and Celtic Society, and which re- 

 flects equal credit upon that patriotic association, and the 

 learned Librarian of Trinity College, Dublin, by whom it 

 has been edited. The publication of the celebrated Liber 

 Hymnorum, a MS. not later than the ninth or tenth cen- 

 tury, and which contains a large number of hymns which 

 have never been published, and are wholly unknown to 

 the learned, has long been a favourite project with Dr. 

 Todd. As the Latin hj'mns are accompanied throughout 

 by a gloss, partly Latin and partly Irish, and scholia, 

 very interesting in a philological point of view, the 

 desirableness of such publication is obvious ; whilst many 

 of them being written in the Irish language, they are, 

 setting aside their historical importance, most valuable 

 from their great antiquity to the Celtic student. Many 

 obstacles have hitherto prevented this publication: one 

 being the desire to collate the MS. with another ancient 

 copy in the Library of St. Isidore's College at Rome. 

 But as years roll on, eminent Irish scholars disappear, 

 and it has at length been wisely resolved that the work 

 should be put to press at once. ' The first Fasciculus has 

 accordingly just been issued. It contains — 1. The 

 Hymn of St. Sechnall in praise of St. Patrick; 2. The 

 Hymn of St. Ultan in praise of St. Brigid ; 3. The Hymn 

 of' St. Cummain Fota in praise of the Apostles ; and 4. 

 The Hymn of St. Mugint. As the name of the Editor is 

 a sufficient guarantee for the manner in which the volume 

 has been edited, and as what we have stated has shown 

 the importance and value of the materials of it, we can 

 only hope that this publication will be a means of awak- 

 ening a wider interest in, and enlisting more extensive 

 support for a Society which has so many claims to the 

 sympathies of all educated Irishmen. Success to the 

 Irish Archaological and Celtic Society ! 



Books Received. — Pliny's Natural History, translated, 

 with Copious Notes and Illustrations, by the late Dr. Bos- 

 tock and Mr. H. T. Riley, Vol. I. Glad as we are to see 

 in Bohn's Classical Library a translation of Pliny, we 

 almost regret that the translation is a new one, and not 

 a reproduction, with the necessary amendments, of Phile- 

 mon Holland's excellent version. The notes are numerous 

 and important. 



Corsica in its Picturesque, Social, and Historical Aspects, 

 by F. Gregorovius. This is an excellent translation by 

 Mr. Russell Martineau of a work which gives perhaps a 

 better view of Corsica than has ever yet appeared. The 



present version forma Parts LXXIX., LXXX., and LXXXL 



of Longman's Traveller's Library. 



Chronology in Verse without Numbers. Another in- 

 genious attempt to render easy what many find very 

 difficult, the remembering of useful dates. 



The Co-operative Principle not opposed to a True Political 

 Economy, by the Rev. C. Marriott. A temperate and 

 well-argued attempt to show that, under the existing 

 political organisation of England, it is possible to intro- 

 duce modes of combined action which will materially 

 improve the working of the social system.
