effect of creating a demand for articles which can 
be produced by the hand and mind of a skilful 
workman only, and not by machinery, however 
costly and elaborate, an enormous benefit, beyond 
that originally contemplated, must result from the 
exhibition—namely, that of supplying fresh fields 
for the labour and ingenuity of our workmen. 
It is with great satisfaction that we are enabled 
to announce that there is at length a prospect of 
our seeing the Monument which Nicholas Brigham 
erected, in Poet’s Corner, to the memory of Geof- 
frey Chaucer properly restored. Arrangements 
are making for collecting subscriptions for that 
purpose, to be limited to five shillings each, that 
more may have the pleasure of assisting in the 
good work. We hope to give further particulars 
of this right and necessary step in the course of a 
week or two.

HE HISTORY OF JUNIUS AND HIS 
_ WORKS, and a Review of the Controversy respecting 
Junius, with an Appendix, containing Portraits and Sketches, by 
Junius, selected from the Letters. By JoHn JAQUES. 
“‘ This is a very able book ; well arranged in its plan, and com- 
plete in its matter. To those who are interested in the con- 
troversy, or even to any readers of Junius who wish for further 
information than the common editions furnish, we strongly re- 
commend this volume. They will find it full, without being over- 
charged; and it possesses an advantage even over Woodfall’s 
edition, in only containing what is essential to the point, besides | 
exhibiting much which does not appear in that elaborate publi- 
eation. The ‘ History of Junius and his Works’ is an essential 
comeemien to the ‘Letters of Junius.’ ”— Spectator, March 4, |

OUTHEY’S COMMONPLACE -BOOK. | 
Edited by Mr. Southey’s Son-in-Law. the Rev. Jonn Woop 
Warter, B.D. Seconp Series, being SPECIAL COLLEC- 
TIONS, and forming a Volume complete in itself. 
“This volume [SPECIAL COLLECTIONS] isamonument | 
of industry such as few could pile, and affords striking evidence of 
the indomitable perseverance and varied learning of Southey. ... 
The oftener we dip into these massive pages, the profounder 
grows our surprise that such a mass of information could have 
been thrown together by one man... .It is just the book to dive 
into for the spare half-hour, assured of finding amusement and 
information in every page... . The imdex is so ample and well 
arranged, that any particular paragraph may be turfed to without 
difficulty. Altogether it is a massive and elegant volume, got up 
without regard to expense, and as well adapted for the shelves of 
the mechanie’s library, as for the study-table of the literary man.”’

cretary of the Camden Society. Illustrated with numerous Wood- 
cuts. Svo. 10s. 6d. 
‘© This is the best antiquarian handbook we have ever met with 
—soclear is its arrangement, and so well and so plainly is each 
subject illustrated by well-executed engravings, that confusion 
for the future is impossible upon a variety of points on which the 
most grievous mistakes have hitherto been made by anxious and 
zealous antiquarians. * * * It is the joint production of two men 
who have already distinguished themselves as authors and anti- 
quarians. It is a book of which it may be said, that in every sen- 
tence is to be found an interesting fact, and that every page teems 
with instruction, and may be regarded asa sure guide to all anti- 
quarians in their future archeological inquiries.” — Morning 
Herald.
