NOTES AND QUERIES. 
(24S, No 18., May 3,756, 
while full justice is done to the merits of that writer, 
some of the graver faults of his “ historical painting” are 
clearly pointed out. There is also a well-considered paper 
on Outrages on Women, and the difficulties of finding 
such punishments for their offences as shall put an end to 
them. Papers on British New Testament Criticism, 
Grote’s History of Greece, Indian Literature, and Weather 
and its Prognostics, make up the remainder of the 
number, 
Time was when we looked upon Theobald, Steevens, 
and Malone as the great Commentators and Illustrators 
of Shakspeare. But a new race has arisen within these 
few years, and we, having carefully inspected the edition of 
The Winter's Tale just illustrated by Mr. and Mrs. Charles 
Kean, Mr. George Scharf, and Mr. Grieve, the inimitable. 
scene painter, are inclined to pronounce it the best edition 
which has yet been submitted to the public. To speak 
seriously, however, we doubt if any drama was ever pro- 
duced with so much attention to accuracy of detail, 
with such varied dramatic effects, and altogether with 
such a combination of efforts to realise the scene which 
the poet wished to bring before his audience. This 
notice—the first of any dramatic performance which has 
ever appeared in our columns—is drawn from us because 
we think The Winter’s Tale, at the Princess’s Theatre, 
the pleasantest lesson on Archeology we ever received: 
and what we have enjoyed ourselves, we wish others to 
be sharers in. 
Books Recetvep — Gulielmi Shaksperii Julius Cesar 
Latiné reddidit Henricus Denison. Coll. Om. An. apud 
Oxon, olim Socius. Mr. Denison has apparently pub- 
lished this specimen of his scholarship, for the purpose of 
advocating, which he does well in his prefatory notice, 
the increased employment of translation, written and 
oral, as a means of acquiring a dead language. Mr. 
Denison’s remarks on this point seem very just, and well 
deserving the attention of the Masters of our great 
Schools. 
The Geographical Word Expositor, or Names and Terms 
occurring in the Science of Geography, Etymologically and 
otherwise Expluined, by Edwin Adams, T.0.B. This little 
volume, written for the use of pupil teachers and the 
upper classes in schools, will be found well calculated 
to awaken a greater interest in Geography, and to im- 
press more deeply on the memory the names of places 
mentioned in the daily lessons.

H. T. Hare. For the saying “ From the sublime to the ridiculous there 
is but a step,” Napoleon has obtained some notoriety : but the truth is, 
he borrowed it from Tom Paine; Tom Paine borrowed it from Hugh 
Blair ; and Hugh Blair from Longinus. See“ N, & Q.,” Ist S. v. 100.
