lished it at St. Petersburgh, in 1827. Mr. Heard 

 also published a volume of Themes, or Exercises, 

 to his grammar, iu the same year. I am not ac- 

 quainted with any other Russian grammar written 

 in English. 



Hamoniere published his Grammaire Uusse at 

 Paris in 1817; and Gretsch (not Grotsch) pub- 

 lished (in Russian) his excellent grammar at St. 

 Petersburgh about thirty years ago. A French 

 translation appeared at the same place in 1828, in 

 2 vols. 8vo., by ReilT. 



In the Revue Encyclopedique for 1829, p. 702., 

 some curious details will be found respecting the 

 various Russian grammars then in existence. 

 Jappe's Russian Grammar is possibly a misprint 

 for Tappe, whose grammar, written in German, is 

 a good one. Besides these, the titles of some twenty 

 other Russian grammars, in Russian, French, or 

 German, could be mentioned. 



The anthologies published by Dr. Bowring, 

 besides his Russian, Dutch, and Spanish, are the 

 Magyar, Bohemian, Servian, and Polish. 



Writing from Oxford, where tiie first Russian 

 grammar ever published was printed, as your cor- 

 respondent Jarltzberg correctly states, perhaps 

 it may interest him, or his friend, who, he says, is 

 about to go to Russia, to be informed (should he 

 not already be aware of the fact) that a " Course 

 of Lectures on Russian Literature " was delivered 

 in this university, by Professor Trithen, at Sir 

 Robert Tayler's Institution, in the winter of 1849.

Oxford, Aug. 6. 1850. 



A very interesting contribution to our early national 

 literature, as well as to legendary history, has lately been 

 published by Dr. Nicolaus Delius of Bonn. He has 

 edited in a small octavo volume, published at a very mo- 

 derate price, Maistre Waces St. Nicltolas, an old French 

 poem, by the poetical Canon of Bayeux, whose Roman 

 de ItoH et des Dues de Nurinandie, edited by Pluquet, 

 and Roman de Brut, edited by Le Roux de Lincy, are, 

 doubtless, familiar to many of our readers. The pre- 

 sent valuable edition to the published works of INIaistre 

 Wace, is edited from two Oxford MSS., viz., No. 270. 

 of the Douce Collection, and No. 8G. of the Digby 

 Collection in the Bodleian : and to add to the interest 

 of the present work, especially in the eyes of English 

 readers, Dr. Delius has appended to it the old 

 English metrical life of Saint Nicolas the liischnp, from 

 the curious series of Lives and Legends which Mr. 

 Black has recently shown to have been composed by 

 Robert of Gloucester.
