NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC, 
The Surtees Society, for the publication of 
inedited MSS. illustrative of the intellectual, 
moral, religious, and social condition of those 
parts of the United Kingdom which constitute the 
ancient kingdom of Northumberland, has been 
remodelled. The subscription for the year is one 
guinea, and the works in immediate preparation 
are, 1. “‘ The Injunctions and other Ecclesiastical 
Proceedings of Richard Barnes, Bishop of Dur- 
ham (1577-87) ;” and, 2. “The Anglo-Saxon 
Hymnarium.” 
We have great pleasure in directing attention 
to the Exhibition of Works of Ancient and Me- 
dieval Art which is to be opened in the Adelphi 
next month. 
This is a great opportunity for forming an 
Exhibition of a novel and most interesting kind, 
one which is ealeulated both to interest and amuse 
the archeologist and the public, and to instruct the 
artizan and the manufacturer. We sincerely hope 
possessors of articles suitable for exhibition, will 
not fail to take advantage of it. They should 
immediately enter into communication with the | 
Honorary Secretary to the Exhibition at the 
rooms of the Society of Arts, or they will be too 
late. 
The Gentleman's Magazine realizes all our anti- 
cipations. “The Reviews are of a very superior 
order. Justice is done to as well as wpon the 
authors who have come under notice, and the 
original articles are of high value; those upon the 
Dea Sequana and the History of Words are espe- 
cially worthy of notice. Mr. Waller’s papers upon 
Christian Iconography promise t9 be of the highest 
value. A new career of usefulness and honour 
has been opened up to Sylvanus Urban, who seems 
determined to merit the addition lately made to 
his title, and to become what is really a desi- 
deratum in English Literature—a good “ Historical 
Review.” 
Messrs. Sotheby and Co. will sell on Thursday 
and Friday next a very choice Selection of Mag- 
nificent Books and Pictorial Works from the 
Library of an eminent Collector, including large 
paper copies of the Antiquarian Works of 
Visconti, Montfaucon, &c.; the first four editions 
of Shakspeare, and other works of similar high 
character.
