NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 



We had lately occasion to notice a valuable publication 

 by the Chetham Society, and we have just received two 

 more volumes (the first published some years since, the 

 second only just issued) of a work of most considerable 

 literary interest, and which has been edited Uy the Presi- 

 dent of the Society, Mr. Crossley, of whose ability to do 

 full justice to an J' literary task undertaken by him, the 

 readers of " N. & Q." do not require other evidence than 

 the valuable communications from his own pen which 

 have from time to time appeared in our columns. The 

 work is entitled. The Diary and Correspondence of Dr. 

 John Worthington, Master of Jesus College, Cambridge, 

 Vice- Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, Sec, from 

 the Baker MS S. in the British 3Iuseum and the Cambridge 

 University Library, and other Sou7-ces, edited by James 

 Crossley, Esq., F.S.A. The portion now issued is the 

 Urst Part of the Second Volume, and continues Worthing- 

 ton's Correspondence with Hartlib to its close, and gives 

 a part of that with Dr. Cudworth, Dr. Henry More, and 

 others. The Diary is carried on from 1661, througli the 

 period of the Great Plague and Fire of London, to Dr. 

 Worthington's settlement at Ingoldsby in Lincolnshire, 

 in 1667. The original value of the materials for these 

 volumes is sufficiently obvious; and when we add that 

 everv page is largely annotated, and abounds with that 

 literary and bibliographical Dlustratioa in which Mr. 

 Crossley is so peculiarly versed, it is obvious what good 

 service has here been rendered to letters by the Ghetliam 

 Society and its most able President. 



From the Chetham Society — one of the earliest and best 

 of the manj- Societies to which the success which attended 

 the institution of the Camden Society gave rise — to the 

 Camden Society itself, the transition is a natural one. We 

 therefore record, that at the General Meeting of the latter, 

 held on the 2nd inst., it was stated, among other signs of 

 progress, that the valuable transcripts of the Diplomatic 

 Correspondence of Mons. d'Jnteville, Mons. de Cliatillon, and 

 Mons. De Marillac, successively French Ambassadors in 

 England during the Reign of Henry VIII., had been 

 placed in the hands of His Excellency M. Van de Weyer, 

 the Belgian Minister, who has kindly undertaken to edit 

 them, the Council feeling assured that a volume of such 

 materials, edited by a gentleman so peculiarly qualified 

 for the task, will be received with great satisfaction by 

 the Society. It was also stated that Mrs. Everett Green 

 had consented to edit two Diaries for the Society ; and 

 that — with the view, on the one hand, of making the vast 

 mass of historical materials to be found in the publications 

 of the Society more easily accessible, and, on the other 

 hand, of giving completeness to the long series of works 

 already published — the Council have under consideration 

 the subject of publishing a copious and well-digested 

 general index. The Council having invited the opinion 

 of the members on the latter point, some conversation 

 ensued, in which fears were expressed lest the publication 



of such an index might be regarded as a sign of the ap- 

 proaching dissolution of the Society. As it is obvious 

 that such an objection is one which may easily be re- 

 moved, those who share our love of indices will probably 

 ultimately be gratified with one — say to the first sixty 

 volumes of the Camden Society's publications. 



Books Eeceived. — A Supplement to the Imperial Dic- 

 tionary, English, Technological, and Scientific, by John 

 Ogilvie, LL.D., Parts III., IV., and V. This useful and 

 needful adjunct to all ordinary dictionaries is in these 

 Parts continued from Drysalter to Wostitz. 



Printing, its Antecedents, Origin, and Results, by Adam 

 Stark. This new (82nd) Part of Longman's Traveller's 

 Library is a rapid, but clear and instructive, view of the 

 origin and progressive devel«pment of an art to which 

 mankind owes so much. 



CoJide's Dominion of the Arabs in Spain, translated by 

 Mrs. Foster, Vol. III., which completes Mr Bohn's edi- 

 tion of this very valuable and interesting work. 



Sharpe's Road-book for the Rail: the Two Divisions, 

 West and East. This is our old friends Gary & Paterson, 

 ■with anew face — one for the iron roads; and containing, 

 as it does, on a scale of ten miles to an inch, notices of 

 the towns, villages, principal seats, historical localities, 

 and other objects of interest on the route, it will no doubt 

 soon grow into as great repute as its slower and time- 

 honoured predecessors.
