NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 



We have received the second eilition of Chronicles of 

 the Ancient British Church. The author exhibits great 

 industry and research, and brings that kindly reverential 

 temper to his subject, which cannot fail to win for it 

 the sympathy of Ins readers. Tlie apostolic origin of 

 British Christianity, and the early independence of the 

 British Church, are satisfactorily maintained, the la- 

 bours of St. Patrick in Ireland, St. David and his 

 workfellows in Wales, St. Columba and St. Ninian in 

 the Nortli, are duly chronicled ; and the slender par- 

 ticulars that remain to us of the ancient Church in Corn- 

 wall, are gleaned up with diligence and accuracy. The 

 volume is put together in a readable and popular shape, 

 but is not unworthy the attention of even our clerical 

 friends. The author takes nothing upon trust, and 

 while availing himself of the labours of Usher, StUling- 

 fleet, &c., he ascends to the original authorities from 

 which they drew, and makes us acquainted with the 

 pages of Gildas, Nennius, and Giraldus Camhrensis. 



There is a time-honoured proverb, which bids us 

 " Laugh and grow fat." The author of a series of 

 very witty and instructive papers written under the 

 title of, and for the purpose of showing us Hnw to make 

 Home Unhealthy, — written, too, it is obvious, on the 

 principle of-' When 1 say hold fast, let go, and When 

 I say let go, hold fast," — -has improved upon the old 

 sa»v, and bids us " Laugh and groiv healthy." The 

 subject is one wliich comes home to everybody, and 

 we accordingly recommend everybody in search of a 

 pleasant half-hour's reading of a hippy combniation of 

 common sense and uncommon lunnour. to apply them- 

 selves to the study of How to niahe Nome Unhealthy. 



U'e last week called attention to several Klemish 

 works likely to interest English readers. We have 

 since seen hoiv desirable it is that this should be done, 

 in the fact, that a curious Flemish Rhyming Chronicle 

 respecting our Edward IlL, by Jau de Klerk, edited 

 in 1H40 by that acco.nplisheil anti(juary Willems, and 

 of which only 100 copies were printed, has hiiherto 

 been so little known in this country, that nearly a 

 quarter of the whole impression was left unsold in the 

 liaiids of the late Mr. Rodd. At the last sale of .Mr. 

 llodil's books they were purchased by Mr. tiuarilch.
