NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 



The first Tolume issued to the Members of the 

 Camden Society in return for the present year's sub- 

 scription affords in more than one way evidence of the 

 utility of that Society. It is an account of Moneys re- 

 ceived and paid for Secret Services of Charles II. and 

 James II., and is edited by ]\Ir. Akerman from a MS. 

 in the possession of William Selby Lowndes, Esq. Of 

 the value of the book as materials towards illustrating 

 the history of the period over which the payments 

 extend, namely from Marcli 1679 to December 1688, 

 there can be as little doubt, as there can be that but for 

 the Camden Society it never could have been published. 

 As a publishing speculation it could not have tempted 

 any bookseller; even if its owner would have consented 

 to its being so given to the world : and yet that in the 

 simple entries of payments to the Duchess of Ports- 

 mouth, to " JMrs. Ellinor Gwynne," to " Titus Gates," 

 to the Pendrells, fi;c., will be found much to throw 

 light upon many obscure passages of this eventful 

 period of our national history, it is probable that 

 ftiture editions of Mr. Macaulay's brilliant narrative of 

 it will afford ample proof. 



The Antiquarian Etching Club, which was instituted 

 two or three years since for the purpose of rescuing 

 from oblivion, and preserving by means of the graver, 

 objects of antiquarian interest, has just issued the first 

 part of its publications for 1851, This contains twenty- 

 one plates of various degrees of merit, but all of great 

 iutevest to the antiquary, who looks rather for fidelity 

 of representation than for artistic effect.
