NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 277. 



already been passed upon it in this Journal (ante, p. 62.), 

 by one so well qualified to judge of its merits, and to 

 whose judgment all will so readily defer — we mean our 

 valued correspondent Me. Makkland, — it is almost a 

 work of supererogation for us to say one word as to the 

 interest of the Diary and Letters, the curious and graphic 

 pictures which they furnish both of Byrom and of his 

 times, or of the appropriate illustrations of the text with 

 which the learning and industry of Canon Parkinson 

 have enabled him to enrich every page. All who like 

 such truthful representations of bj'gone times are under 



freat obligations to the Chetham Sooietj'', to Canon 

 arkinson, and most especially to Miss Atherton, the 

 poet's descendant, who has most liberally made the book 

 and its contents alike a present to the Society. 



A neatly -printed little volume, Essays in Divinity hy 

 John Donne, D.D., sometime Dean of St. PauVs, edited by 

 Augustus Jessopp, M.A., of St. Johi's College, Cambridge, 

 appropriately dedicated to Dr. Bliss, as one who, with his 

 wide knowledge, is " always able, and in his generous 

 kindness is always willing, to help and encourage his less- 

 experienced fellow-labourers in the fields of English litera- 

 ture," has a twofold claim to notice : first, on account of 

 the obvious care and attention bestowed upon it by the 

 editor ; next, as being the first-fruits of some years' labour 

 devoted to the preparation of an edition of Donne's col- 

 lected works. 



Books Received. — A Supplement to the Tmperia I 

 Dictionary, English, Technological, and Scientific, contain- 

 ing an extensive Collection of Words, Terms, Phrases, ^c, 

 not included in previous English Dictionaries, by John 

 Ogilvie, D.D., Parts I. and ll. Of the utility of such a 

 supplement to our English dictionaries there can be no 

 doubt, even though the editor should be mistaken in be- 

 lieving that all the words in his supplement are not to be 

 found in anj' of our existing dictionaries. 



A Popular Harmony of the Bible, Historically and 

 Chronologically arranged, by H. M. Wheeler, will unques- 

 tionably accomplish the object for which it was under- 

 taken, namely, ])rove a good substitute for such expensive 

 yet truly valuable and learned works as Townsend's Ar- 

 rangement of the Old Testament, and Greswell's Harmony 

 of the New. 



Poetical Works of James TTiomson, edited by Robert 

 Bell, Vol. I. This new volume of the Annotated Edition 

 of the British Poets is introduced by a very pleasant 

 biography of the poet.
