NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 
The readers of Macaulay will be glad to learn that 
there is now no doubt that the Diary of Narcissus Lut- 
trell, to which the historian makes such frequent reference, 
will be given to the press. Immediately after the publi- 
cation of Mr. Macaulay’s third and fourth yolumes, ap- 
plication was made by The Camden Society to the au- 
thorities of All Souls’ College, Oxford, for permission to 
transcribe and publish the Diary. This has since been 
followed by a similar application from the Delegates of 
the University Press; and as the Camden Society had no 
object but that of securing its publication, they will, no 
doubt, very readily withdraw their claim. The vivalry, 
if it can be so designated, is one creditable to both parties ; 
and we hope that the present movement by the heads of 
the Clarendon Press may be looked upon as a proof of the 
existence among them of an increased interest in English 
Historical Literature. Perhaps after this we may obtain 
from the same quarter an edition of Strype worthy of 
Oxford. The Delegates have only to give a hint of their 
intention to produce a revised edition of the various 
works of this most valuable and industrious writer, under 
the superintendence of a competent editor, and we feel 
sure that abundance of materials will soon be placed at 
his disposal. 
Mr. Bohn has unquestionably rendered good service to 
all antiquaries and students of our early national history, 
by the publication of the Series, now a very extensive 
one, of English translations of our monkish chroniclers 
and annalists, which he has issued in his Antiquarian 
Library. Valuable as are many of these, there is not 
among them one more deserving of attention than The 
Ecclesiastical History of England and Normandy, by Or- 
dericus Vitalis, of which Mr. Forester’s translation, in 
four volumes, is now completed. Mr. Forester well re- 
marks that, born in England, and receiving at Shrews- 
bury the first rudiments of his education, which he com- 
pleted at Ouche, in Normandy, Ordericus Vitalis, in his 
personal and literary history, as well as in the annals, 
which compose the most valuable part of his voluminous 
work, forms a connecting link between the English and 
Norman writers of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. 
In point of fact, he alternately transports his readers 
from Normandy to England, and from England to Nor- 
mandy, two states which may be considered to have 
formed in his time almost an united kingdom; and he 
treats the affairs of both with nearly equal precision. Of 
the importance with which the writings of Ordericus 
Vitalis have been regarded by the French antiquaries, 
we have clear proof in the fact, that within the last thirty 
years, no less than two distinct editions of them have 
been published under the auspices of the Historical So- 
ciety of France. The first, in 1826, was a translation 
into French, with notes by M. Louis du Bois, with a pre- 
fatory notice by M. Guizot, which Mr. Forester has 
translated as an Introduction to his own English ver- 
sion. The second, which was commenced in 1838, is an 
edition of the original text, which was confided in the 
first instance to M. Auguste le Prevost ; who saw twelve 
books through the press, and was then compelled by loss 
of sight to transfer the editorship to M. Leopold Delisle.

racter of Ordericus, which is also translated by Mr. 
Forester, will be read with considerable interest; and 
when we add, that the work abounds in illustrative 
notes, and is completed by the addition of the Chronicle of 
St. Lvroult, by a Chronological Index, and by a very 
extensive General Index of Matters, we think we have 
said enough to show how creditable it is both to Mr. 
Forester, the editor, and Mr. Bohn, the publisher, and 
how well it deserves a place in every historical library.
