in the thirteenth century to every-day life : and it is this 

 circumstance which imparts to it its great value, for it is a 

 most interesting picture of mediaival manners, equally 

 vivid and minute." The second is one of more general 

 interest. It is derived from a MS. belonging to the Duke 

 of Devonshire and materials in the State Paper Office, 

 and is entitled Savile Currespondence ; Letters to and 

 from Henri/ Savile, Esq., Envoi/ at Paris and Vice Cham- 

 berlain to Churks II. and James II., edited by W. Durrant 

 Cooper, F.S.A. The Oorrcspimdence, which extends from 

 April, 16G1, to August, 1*187, illustrates in a more or 

 less degree, not only the political history of the period, 

 but incidentallv its social condition. It has been edited 

 •with great industry by Mr. Cooper, whose well-written 

 Introduction and carefully compiled Index add to the 

 value of a work which is alike creditable to the editor and 

 the Camden Societv. 



Eric, or Little by Little, by F. \V. Farrar. Fellow of 

 Trinity College, Cambridge, is a story of school-boy life, 

 which narrates in a very natural manner the painful his- 

 tory of a lad of high promise who fell " by little and 

 little," through false pride and false principles and a 

 want of moral courage, into the grossest vices. Tlie tone 

 of the book is most healthy, and few boys, we think, could 

 read it without being warned by Eric's fote to avoid those 

 errors to which his tall may be distinctly traced. 



Messrs. De La Rue haveissued their Improved Indelible 

 Diary and Memorandum Book, edited by Norman Pogson, 

 First Assistant at the Radcliffe Observatory, Oxford, for 

 the coming year, 1859. The useful information in this 

 Diary is so extensive and complete, that it would not be 

 easy to improve the Diary in this respect ; but the taste 

 and elegance with which it has been got up exceeds 

 even the high standard for which all the productions of 

 the firm of De La Rue & Co. are now distinguished. 



Mr. Blades announces for early publication A Treatise 

 on the Ty/mgraphical Works of William Caxton. The 

 volume will contain some new particulars in the Life of 

 William Caxton, with extracts from original documents ; 

 an Essav on his Types and Typography; an ex.act Col- 

 lation oi every work at present known to have issued from 

 Caxton's press ; and an accurate transcript of all Cax- 

 ton's Prologues and Epilogues in their original ortho- 

 graphj', besides other literary and bibliographical illus- 

 trations. 



Books Received.— T/ie So?i.qf of Songs, translated from 

 the original Hebrew, ivith a Commentary, historical and 

 critical, by Christian D. Ginsburg. Longmans. 1857. 

 Mr. Ginsburg views the Song of Solomon in an aspect 

 which will be new to many of our readers, as a drama of 

 pastor.il life, representing the loves of a shepherd and 

 shepherdess of Judah, the solicitation to which the damsel 

 was subjected by the great King at Jerusalem, the stead- 

 fastness with which she resisted his addresses, and her 

 happy union with her own betrothed. This interpreta- 

 tion is by no means inconsistent with that higher sense 

 in which St. Bernard and many other expositors of 

 Scripture have taught us to regard this canticle, as ex- 

 pressive of the heavenlv love between the Divine Bride- 

 groom and his Bride "the Church. Mr. Ginsburg has 

 worked out his theory with a good deal of pains, and feas 

 prefixed a careful and candid conspectus of the various 

 interpretations. 



A Vindication of the Hymn Te Deum Laudamus from 

 Errors and Misrepresentations of a Thousand Years, Sfc, by 

 Ebenezer Thomson. J. R. Smith. 1858.— In this beau- 

 tifullj' printed little volume upon the Te Deum, we have 

 the result of Mr. Thomson's studies for more than thirty 

 years. And we must confess to much gratification at one 

 correction of the received reading which he has made 

 known to us. The verse " make us to be numbered with 

 thy Saints in glory everlasting," had always seemed to 

 us wanting in point and vigour. But the true reading, 

 Mr. Thomson shows, is, " iEterna fao cum Sanctis tuis 

 gloria munerari," — Make them to be gifted, together 

 with thy Saints, with glory everlasting.
