Veitch, and reprinted from the Salisbury Journal in small pamphlet 

 form. Mr. Veitch gives an interesting survey of JefEeries' writings, and 

 seems to take a juster view of his works on the whole than some other 

 recent critics hav£ done who have been more effusive in their praise. 



" Richard Jefferies and his Home in Wiltshire,^^ by Bertha Newcome, 

 is an article of seven pages in Sylvia's Journal for March, 1894, illustrated 

 with eight process reproductions of drawings by the authoress, of the house 

 at Coate, the gamekeeper's cottage, scenes on the downs, &c. 



The authoress follows Mr. Salt in her estimate of the comparative value 

 of his earlier and later writings, especially holding up for our admiration 

 those passages in which he inveighs most bitterly against the iniquity of 

 all things as they are.

 Wiltshire, by George Edward Dartnell and the Rev. Edward

 Price, 15s, net. This is a re-publication by the English Dialect Society of 

 the three papers of " Contributions towards a Wiltshire Glossary" which have

 duction, and containing twelve pages of specimens of Wiltshire talk, partly 

 original, and partly taken from Akerman's Tales. There are also three 

 appendices ; a short bibliography of works relating to Wilts and illustrating 

 its dialect ; a MS. vocabulary of the end of the last century ; and a 

 list of Wilts words, from the Monthly Magazine. 



Favourable notices have appeared in the Saturday Revieto, May 5th,

A Genealogical and Biographical Record of the Savery Families 

 descended from early immigrants to New England and Phila- 

 delphia, &c., by A. W. Savary, M.A. Boston, U.S.A., 1893. This is 

 a nicely got up large 8vo book of 266 pp., with twenty-one plates— chiefly 

 portraits of American members of the different branches of the Savery 

 family — dealing with the various ramifications of the family in the United 

 States and Canada, and also giving details of their earlier history in 

 England. It is so far interesting to Wiltshiremea that one chief branch 

 of the family seems to have sprung originally from Hanningtou and the 

 neighbouring parishes. Indeed, the name Savory, Savary, or Savery, is 

 found in old registers of a good many North Wilts parishes.
