either sister to Giselle, wife of Stephen, King of 

 Hun"-ary (to whom the young princes nnist have 

 been^ent, as /ie reigned from a. d. 1000 till A.i). 

 1038), and sister also to the Emperor Henry il., 

 or. as some writers seem to think, she was the 

 daughter of Bruno, that emperor's brother. (See a 

 note^in Dr. Lingard's History, vol. i. p. 349.) 



That siie was not the dangliter of ei ther Henry li., 

 Henry III., or Henry IV., is very certain ; in the 

 first case, for the reason stated by your correspon- 

 dent ; and in the second, because Henry 111. was 

 only twelve years old when he succeeded his iather 

 Conrad II. (in the year 1039), which of course 

 puts his son Henry IV. quite out of the question, 

 who was born a. d. 1049. It strikes me (and per- 

 haps some of your correspondents wdl correct me 

 if I am wrong) that the two English princes may 

 have respectively married the two ladies to whom 

 I have referred, and that hence may have arisen 

 the discrepancies in the different histories : but 

 that the wife of Edward the Outlaw was one of 

 these two I have no doubt. O- "• Q- 



Translations of the Scriptures (Vol. ii., p. 229.). 

 _C. F. S. may perhaps find The Bible of every 

 Land, now publishing by Messrs. Bagster, service- 

 able in his inquiries respecting Roman Cathoic 

 translations of the Scriptures. The sayinci oi the 

 1 Duke of Lancaster is found in the first edition of 

 i Foxe s Acts and Monuments, and in the modern 

 reprint, iv. 674.; the original of the treatise from 

 ' which it is taken being in C. C. College, Cambridge.

Scalping (Vol. ii., p.220.).-W. B. D. confounds 

 beheading with scalping. In the American war 

 many BrUish soldiers, it was said, walked about 

 without their scalps, but not without their heads.

hundred ; and lastly, that the Index has been rendered 

 far more complete, by including in it the names of 

 places mentioned, and the foreign synonymes ; we have 

 done more to show its increased value than any mere 

 words of commendation would express. While the 

 only omission that has been made, namely, that of the 

 utensils and ornaments of the Medieval Church (with 

 the exception of the few such as altars, credences, pis- 

 cinas, and sedilias, which belong to architectural struc- 

 ture and decoration), is a portion of the work which 

 all must admit to have been foreign to a Glossary of 

 Architectural Terms, and must therefore agree to have 

 been wisely and properly left ont. The work in its 

 present form is, we believe, unequalled in the archi- 

 tectural literature of Europe, for the amount of ac- 

 curate information which it furnishes, and the beauty 

 of its illustrations; and as such, therefore, does the 

 highest credit both to its editor and to its publisher ; 

 if.^indeed, the editor and publisher be not identical. 



Mr. L. A. Lewis, of 125. Fleet Street, has com- 

 menced a series of weekly Book Sales, to take place 

 every Friday during the months of October and No- 

 vember, and has arranged that parties sending large or 

 small parcels of books for sale during the one week, 

 may have them sold on the Friday in the week fol- 

 lowing. 



We have received the following Catalogues : — 

 Bernard Q.uaritch's (16. Castle Street, Leicester Square) 

 Cataloo-ue No. 19. for 1850 of Oriental Literature, 

 Manuscripts, Theology, Classics, &c.; John Miller's 

 (43. Chandos Street) Catalogue No. 12. for 18o0 of 

 History, Antiquities, Heraldry, &c., and Conchology, 

 Geology, and other popular Sciences. 



NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 



No one branch of antiquarian study has been pur- 

 sued with greater success during the last few years 

 than that of Gothic Architecture ; and, to this success, 

 no single work has contril)Uted in ai.y proportion equal 

 to that of \.he Glossary of Terms vsedin Grecian, Roman, 

 Italian, and Gothic Architecture. Since the year 183G, in 

 which this work first appeared, no fewer than four large 

 editions, cadi an improvement upon its predecessor, 

 have l>een called for and exhausted. The fifth edition 

 is now before us; and, we have no doubt, will meet, as 

 it deserves, tlie same extended patronage and success. 

 Wlien we announce tliat in tliis fifth edition the text 

 has been con<,idcral)ly augmented hy the enlargement 

 of many of the old articles, as well as by the addition 

 of man/ new ones, among which Professor Willis has 

 cmljodied a great part of Ids Architcctrtral Somen- 

 c/ulure of the Middle Ayes; that the number of wood- 

 cut* has been increased from eleven hundred to seventeen
