descent of lands and tenements in some places 

 called Bu7-ow-Englis/i, as in Eiimunton : vid. 

 Kitchin of Courts^ fol. 102. The custom of 

 Borough- English, like that of gavelkind, and 

 those of London and York, is still extant ; and al- 

 thoui;h it may have been in a great measure 

 superseded by deed or unll, yet, doubtless, in- 

 stances occur in the present day of its vitality and 

 consequent operation. Franciscus. 



Date of a Charter (Vol. iv., p. 152.). — I sus- 

 pect that the charter to which ]\Ir. Hand refers, is 

 one of the time of Henry II., and not of Henry III. 

 The latter sent no daughter to Sicily ; but Joan, 

 the daughter of the former, was married to Wil- 

 liam, king of Sicily, in the year 11 76, 22 Henry II. 

 In the Great Roll of that year (Rot. 13 b.) are 

 entries of payments for hangings in the king's 

 chamber on that occasion, ami of fifty marks given 

 to Walter de Constantiis, Archdeacon of Oxford, 

 for entertiining the Sicilian ambassadors. See 

 Madox's Exchequer, i. 367., who also in p. 18. refers 

 to Hoveden, P. 2. p. 548. This may perhaps 

 assist in the discovery of the precise date, which I 

 cannot at present fix. *. 



NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC. 



The Jansenixts : their Rise, Persecutions hy the Jesuits, 

 and existing Remnant ; a Chapter in Church History: 

 by S. P. Tregelles, LL.D., is an interesting little 

 monograph, reprinted with additions from Dr. Kitto's 

 Journal of Biblical Literature, and enriched with por- 

 traits of Jansenius, St. Cyran, and tlie Mere Angelique. 

 The history of the Jansenist Church lingering in sepa- 

 rate existence at Utrecht affords a new instance of 

 Catholicity of doctrine apart from the Papal commu- 

 nion ; and as such cannot fail to have a peculiar in- 

 terest for many of our readers. 



The long, brilliant, and important reign of 

 Louis XIV. has had many chroniclers. The Memoires 

 written by those wlio figured in its busy scenes are 

 ahnost innumerable ; many, as may be supposed from 

 the character of the monarch and the laxity of the 

 court, l)eing little calculated for general perusal. 

 Mr. James therefore did good service when he pre- 

 sented the reading world wltl> his historical \iew of 

 The Life and Times of Lnuis XIV., a work in which, 

 while he has done full justice to the talents and genius 

 of the monarch, and the brilliancy of the circle by 

 which be was surrounded, he has not allowed that 

 splendour so to dazzle the eyes of tlie spectator as to 

 blind him to tlic real infamy and licartlevsness with 

 which it was surrounded. We are therefore well 

 pleased to see Mr. James's liistory reprinted as ihe two 

 new volumes of Uohn's Standard Library. 



Mr. L. A. Lewis of 125. Fleet .Street will sell on 

 Friday next two extraordinary Collections of Tracts

 Replie, 1604. The Second, in 20 Vols , collpcted up-

 Discourse of a Discoverie for a New Passage to Cataia, 

 1576. Both series sliould be secured for a Public
