NOTES ON BOOKS. 



Pagan or Christian, or Notes for the General Public on 

 our National Architecture. By W. J. Cockburn Muir. 

 (Bentley.) 



We have read with much interest this able little work, 

 in which the author enters very fully upon the question 

 of our National Architecture. Mr. Muir gives a series of 

 historical reminiscences, from which he shows that during 

 a perio I of five hundred years, viz., from the middle of 

 the eleventh to the middle of the sixteenth century, we 

 had a National Architecture, influencing and pervading 

 the whole of our buildings, whether secular or ecclesias- 

 tical : the distinction in favour of the latter being only 

 that for them was reserved all that was most beautiful or 

 costl3 r . Mr. Muir then strongly urges that we should 

 commence a return to our national style by the erection 

 of our Public Offices in the spirit, at all events, of English 

 Gothic. The book contains many valuable suggestions, 

 and will be especially nseful to those who are desirous to 

 know something of the "Gothic or Italian" question 

 without going very deeply into the study of architecture. 



The Visitation of the County of Yorke, begun in A". Dni. 

 MDCt.xv. and finished A Dni. MDC'LXVi. By William 

 Dugdale, Esq., Norroy King of Amies. (Surtees Society.) 



This valuable genealogical record, containing the pedi- 

 grees of no less than 472 families, is now for the first time 

 printed entire from a copy in the handwriting of the late 

 Dr. Raine, collated by the Editor with Dugdale's original 

 copy, which has been for many years the property of 

 Miss Currer of Eshton Hall. Its publication reflects 

 great credit upon the Surtees Society, and there can be 

 no doubt of the care with which it has been produced, 

 since the editorship has been confided to one so thoroughly 

 familiar with Yorkshire and all that belongs to it as 

 Mr. Robert Davies. The record is not only interesting 

 and valuable to the men of York, but to every genea- 

 logical student in England ; yet we doubt if any book- 

 seller would have taken the risk of its publication. 

 Another proof, therefore, is hereby afforded of the value 

 of those publishing societies which form so important a 

 feature in the literary history of the present century. 

 Good service, indeed, has the Surtees Society rendered 

 to historical literature on many occasions, but it has 

 rarely done better than in committing to the press the 

 last of the heraldic visitations of the great county of 

 York. 



The Epigrams of Martial translated into English Prose. 

 Each accompanied by One or more Verse Translations from 

 the Works of English Poets, and various other Sources. 

 (Bohn.) 



Lord Byron declared that no g*od story was ever in- 

 vented. He might have said the same of good jokes. 

 The classical student recognises in Martial's Epigrams 

 neat and well-turned versions of the best jokes current 

 in Rome when Martial wrote, and manv of which he 



finds again, mutatis mutandis, in our own Joe Miller. How 

 far this is true the mere English reader may now readily 

 convince himself by a perusal of the present volume, 

 which will, we suspect, be far from the least popular of 

 the Series — Bohn's Classical Library — to which it 

 belongs. #
