 2194/. 15s. Gd. The following documents are of the 

 highest importance to genealogists and antiquaries : — 



Betham Correspondence. Letter Books of Sir William 

 Betham, containing copies of his Correspondence with the 

 Xobilitv and Gentry, chieflv on genealogical matters 

 from 1810 to 1819. 17 vols, folio. G21.

 Irish Families, compiled by Sir Win. Betham, from the 

 Wills, Acts of Administration, Marriage Licences, and 

 other evidences of every family whose Wills appear re- 

 corded in the Prerogative Court, Dublin, from the earliest

Books Received — 



A Lennox Garland gleaned from divers Fields of Scot- 

 tish Poesy. (Dumbarton.) 



A little volume (privately printed, we believe) in which 

 the Editor has shown a right spirit by gathering to- 

 gether all the old poetry concerning the Lennox Dis- 

 trict. Would that all local antiquaries would follow the 

 good example ! 



Longfellow's Prose Works Illustrated by Birhet Foster. 

 Parts V., VI., VII. and VIII. (Dean & Son.) 



This is, we believe, the first illustrated edition of the 

 Hyperion — and very beautifully the work is got up. The 

 illustrations are worthy of Mr. Foster's reputation. 



Urim and Thumrnim — An Inquiry. (J. F. Shaw.) 



An ingenious endeavour to prove the existence of a 

 sign or token granted especially to the Jew, but vouch- 

 safed to all mankind. 



English History, with very copious Notices of the Cus- 

 toms, Manners, Dress, Arts, Commerce, §-c. of the dif- 

 ferent Periods. By Hecrj' Ince and James Gilbert. (Kent 

 & Co.) 



The sale of 170,000 copies of the well-known Outlines 

 of English History has induced the authors of it to pre- 

 pare a considerably extended edition of it for use not 

 only in families, but in higher schools and universities, 

 and the result is certainly a most useful and comprehen- 

 sive book. 



Notes on the Geology. Mineralogy, and Springs of Eng- 

 land and Wales. By Edwin Adams. (Longman ) 



A brief but very useful sketch of the physical history 

 of these islands. 



Trevcnan Court ; a Tale. By E. A. B. (Masters.) 



One of those fictions for the inculcation of Church 

 principles which have been so popular of late years, and 

 far from one of the least interesting of them.
