standing where the army rested in their march, a 
harbour. So that it is evident that the words 
horberg and herbergier had once a different mean- 
ing. I imagine that the au in the French Au- 
berge is not the her in herberg, but the ql in 
Spanish and Portuguese Albergue, which Gattel 
and Vieyra both derive from the Arabie, Voor- 
schooten signifies aprons, but here I should think 
it means the name ofa place. RK. S, Cuarnock.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. 
We have received from Messrs. Williams & Norgate a 
volume which will be extremely interesting to all who 
share the opinions of Grimm, Keightley, Kemble, and 
other scholars, who regard the popular mythology of 
Europe as a subject deserving of careful investigation 
and profound study. It is from the pen of Dr. Liebrecht, 
of whose German translation’ of Basile’s Pentamerone we 
have had oceasion to speak most favourably; and is en- 
titled Des Gervasius von Tilbury Otia Imperialia. In 
einer Auswahl neu herausgegeben und mit Anmerkungen be- 
gleitet von Felix Leibrecht. Hin Beitrag zur Deutschen 
Mythologie und Sagenforschung. The readers of Warton 
and Tyrwhit will remember the illustrations of our early 
folk lore which those elegant critics drew from the Otia 
Imperialia; and therefore can well imagine to what good 
use a scholar like the present editor can turn the me- 
diwval legends contained in Geryasius, for the purpose of 
throwing light upon the mythology of the Teutonic races. 
And this is what Leibrecht has done; for while the re- 
print of the text occupies little more than fifty pages, 
upwards of 200, and those very closely printed, are de- 
voted to his notes and comments: so that it will be seen 
that the work is one which well deserves the attention of 
English scholars, They will, we think, thank us for 
bringing it under their notice, 
Books Recrrvep. — The Poetical Works of Ben Jon- 
son, edited by Robert Bell. This new volume of the 
Annotated Edition of the British Poets is most creditable 
to the taste and judgment of the editor. All must rejoice 
to see included in a collection of English Poetry the Lyrics, 
&c., of Rare Ben Jonson. 
The Strangers’ Handbook to Chester and its Environs, 
containing a Short Sketch of its History and Antiquities. 
By Thomas Hughes. Mr. Hughes, who has been a fre- 
quent contributor to our columns, has here produced a 
little volume profusely illustrated, which will be found a 
most useful guide to the visitors of this fine old city. 
Memoirs of the Life and Times of John Carpenter, 
Town Clerk of London in the Reigns of Henry V. and 
Henry VI., and Founder of the City of London School. 
By Thomas Brewer, Secretary of the School. This volume, 
which is the enlargement of a notice of Carpenter com~ 
piled by Mr. Brewer some years since, is most creditable 
to its author; and not only a pleasant memorial of the 
worthy Town Clerk, but adds a pleasant chapter to the 
history of the city itself. 
Cottage Pictures from the Old Testament. Messrs. 
Parker of Oxford, to whom we are indebted for this series 
of twenty-eight pictures, have done good service by their 
publication. They are brightly but carefully coloured, 
and will, we trust, supply the place of the Scripture Il- 
lustrations, full of bad art as of bad taste, which now are 
found on the walls of the poorer classes.

ing publications in the cause of religion and education ;
