NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 



We announced, after the last Annual Meeting of the 

 Shakspeare Society, that it had been determined to 

 publish a comjilete set of the Plays of one of Shak- 

 speare's most prolific and interesting contemporaries, 

 Thomas Heyn'ood ; and that the first volume of such 

 collection, containing Six Plays, was then ready. A 

 further contribution towards this collection, containing 

 The Royal King and Loyal Subject, which has not l)een 

 reprinted since the old edition of 1637, and his very 

 popular drama, A Woman killed with Kindness, has just 

 been issued, with an Introduction and Notes by J. Payne 

 Collier, Esq., the zealous and indefatigable Director of 

 the Society, and will, we are sure, be welcomed by 

 every lover of our early drama. The Shakspeare 

 Society will, indeed, do good service to the cause of 

 our early literature if it prove the means of securing us 

 a uniform scries of the works of such of our Eliza- 

 bethan dramatists as do not stand sufficiently high in 

 the opinion of the uninitiated, to tempt the publishing 

 world to put forth their productions in a collected 

 form. 



We have received the following Catalogues : — John 

 Petherani's(94. High Holborn) Catalogue, PartCXV.

 was created a D. D. by the late Archbishop of Canterbury.

 degree should have previously taken that of M. A. or

H. I. G., Northampton, The Editor would he happy 

 to insert the Question of this Correspondent, relating to 

 the Epistles of St. Paul, hut he apprehends that the dis- 

 cussion to which it would give rise would, in order to its 

 being of any use, require more space tliiin could be afforded, 

 and involve a good deal of criticism and argument not 

 suited to these columns.

 " The Gentleman's Magazine has been revived with a degree 

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

 mer popularity." — Tauflhm Courier. 



" A better or more valuable work for country book societies, 

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

 within the whole compass of English literature. Its literary 

 articles are peculiarly sound in principle, and its criticism's 

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

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

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

 tions like those we have aiiverted to, than in recommending this 

 work to their support." — Kottingkam Review.

 Paxton's design for the building as finally approved by Her M.i-

 contain a view of the south front, a view of the east front, a portion 

 on an enlarged scale, and a ground plan. 



Several journals having published views of a building which it 

 was supposed would be the building erected, the publisher of The 

 Athen.ecm considers it proper to state that the views announced 

 above have never been seen by the public, and are totally dissi- 

 milar to those engraved in the professional journals. 



The .\then.ecm is published every Saturday, and ra.ny be had, 

 by order, of any Bookseller, price Ad., or stamped to pass free by 

 pest, ^d. ; and contains, —

 and of the more important foreign.

 eijualiiy, in point of information, with the best-informed circles of 

 the metropolis. 



The puidisher will on this occasion send a single copy on receipt 

 of five i>oslage stamps.
