NOTES AND QUERIES. 



399 



papers in the Literary Gazette. These liave been im- 

 proved, the calculations contained in them subjected to 

 the most rigid scrutiny ; and when we say that in the 

 preparation of this volume Mr. Poole has had assistance 

 from Mr. Lane, INIr. and Mrs. Lieber of Cairo, Dr. 

 Abbot of Cairo, Mr. Birch of the British Museum, 

 Professor Airy, and, lastly, of Sir Gardener Wilkinson, 

 who, in his Architecture of Ancient Egijpt, avows that 

 " he fully agrees with Mr. Poole in the contempora- 

 neousness of certain kings, and in the order of succes- 

 sion he gives to the early Pharaohs," we do quite 

 enough to recommend it to the attention of all students 

 of the History and Monuments of .\ncient Egypt. 



Books Received. — Plato Translated by G. Bnrges, 

 vol. 4. The new volume of Bohn's Classical Library 

 is the fourth volume of the Translation of Pl.ito, which, 

 strange as it may sound to those of our readers who 

 know anything of what is essential to a popular book 

 in these days, has, we believe, been one of the most 

 popular of the many cheap books Issued by Mr. Bohn. 

 How much the impression made on the public mind by 

 the well-worn quotation, " Plato, thou rcasonest well," 

 may have contributed to this result, we leave others 

 to decide. — Wknt is the working of the Church of Spal7i ? 

 What is implied in submitting to Rome 9 What is it that 

 presses hardest upon the Cliurch of England? A Tract 

 hy the Rev. F. Meyrick, M.A. London : J. H. Parker. 

 These are three very important Queries, but obviously 

 not of a nature for discussion in Notes and Queiiies. 

 — The Penny Post, 1. to IV., February to May. The 

 words "thirtieth thousand" on the title-page, show the 

 success which has already attended this Church Penny 

 Magazine.

 Street, Bristol) Catalogue of Books lately bought;
