 Romani : " comprising liis Autobiography and 

 Literary Journal, and brief Theological Essays. 

 Edited by the REV. C. J. FYNES CLINTON,

" There is a peculiar charm about this book, 

 arising from the individuality and beautiful 

 simplicity of the character of the man who is 

 its subject, and the qu»int wny in which it 

 liresents that character for study. The editor 

 has done his pan most gracefully in the selec- 

 tion of passages from his brother's journal ; 

 and we do not know that we could noint to a 

 more beau'iful illustration than this memoir 

 presents of the pure life of a scholar of the 

 nineteenth century." _ Examiner.
