P. S. W. E. IVt did not insert his reply to the Query of 

 Matfei.onensis, because we do not reyard a newspaper 

 paragraph as an authority. The story of Lord Stair 

 being the executioner of Charles I. is related, we believe, 

 in Ceiit's Sixty Curious Narratives, an interesting com- 

 pilation made by the late W. Hone, who does not, however, 

 give his authorities.

 of spirit and talent which promises the best assurance of its for- 

 mer popularity." — Taunton Courier. 



*' A better or more valuable work for country book societies, 

 lending libraries, and reading rooms, it is impossible to find 

 witliin the whole compass of English literature. Its literary 

 artiiifs are peculiarly sound in principle, and its criticisms 

 liberal but just; whilst its Obituary confers upon it a national 

 miportance. We are sure then we cannot do a better service to 

 our friends, and more especially to those connected with insutu- 

 tioiis like tho.se we have atlverted to, than in recommending this 

 work to their support." — Kottingham Ileview.
