to the Turf) and Lord Mayow, As for ecclesiasties 
•we have Archbishops Cranuur and Land, 
Bishops Bloomfield, Thirwall and Harring- 
ton possibiy a lelaLive of llie iiith Naliouaiist 
Loid Mayor of Dublin and Deans Kovvson and 
fcowsani probably (iistinguished Chiueae con- 
veits. bir Georj^e 'a rivelyan is repre-euted by 
his lives and Lord Curszon by some cuisory 
remarks an Russia. D'Arbigne vindicates the 
Protector and F TBiitiauli teiis us about " The 
Prisoner of Earn " under one number and about 
The Prisoner of Hum " under another. In 
a limited library like this he might have devoted 
the second number to Shem (or Sliam). Talking of 
Hams a somewhat obscure person called William 
Wickham gives us the correspondence of 
Whickham W, and J O Marsham contri- 
hutes lives of Carey and Havelock. What 
claim &c. of Whickham W, What claim 
did the additional letter h give Mr Wickham 
to have liia letters published? Also Sir S W 
Wraxall published " Posthumour Memoirs of 
his own Times and Sir Seymonds D'Ewes 
wrote about " College Life in Che time of James 1." 
This is perhaps, to give the compilers their dues, 
why when he subsequently and under another 
number wrote about "Life in the reign of James 
I,", he is called in very black letters, " Sir 
College d'&wes " 
To come to pirsons in rather different walks of 
life we have biographies of Karoliue Baner 
Rudolf de Lisk utheiwue "Lisle Lieut 
Rudolph cifc Memoir " and , Margaret 
Londsdale* The latter might have given her 
supeifluous d to Winward Reade to complete his 
new and somewhat breezy title, or he might have 
got it out of the Ceylon Handsard. Clandia 
writes about Consecrated Women and apparently 
Consecrated Women do the same for Clondia, 
Dr, bence Jones in small print compiled a Life of 
Faraday but when he attained to large 
print he changed his name to Brye Jones. 
Linnens the botanist has his ."story, told 
by a lady. Another favourite fabric-Wool- 
lens is represented by Woolby, who prints 
certain " Lectures delivered in Australia" — no 
doubt on the sheep-runs. From runs we get to 
rounds, Thackeray gives us a "Bound about 
papers," and T. Walround about Lord Elgin. 
Mrs. Gashell conhues hers to "the Sofa "but 
Mrs. Gakeil goes "North and South." An- 
other traveller, G. Parker spent — like a house, 
fly, " Days and NigJits in (not over) the Des- 
sert " and Viscount Kir wall put in " Four years 
in the Ionian (not the Andaman )Islands." Jessee 
describes Windsor and Philippoo, Jamaica, which 
enabled each of them to double his final vowel 
Others penetrated to new countries like Howai. 
Bayard Taylor, having hnislied Words and Places, 
devoted himself, like a magnified Superintendent 
of Minor Roads, to the " Byeways of Europe" 
Why did he not leave them to his namesake 
Isaac— so as to give him a look in ? John Home 
took " A year in Fiji" and wrote about it (Is 
this a " wingfed word "?) Vol. C Princep (not of 
the C P R C) did his drills in Imperial India." 
Sir Arthur Helps was indiscreet enough to reveal 
to tiie public "Government Thoughts." 
W Blade — evidently a pen (knife) liame — 
debciibes the enemies of books, amongst wliich 
he classes librarians, white ants anU hsh insects. 
He had not seen the catalogue of the Kaudy U 
S Library. R. A. Potger determines ' Our 
place among the Infinities." We were not aware 
before that the author was a Ceylonese as his 
name would seem to show. There is .also a book 
by R Jelfries on the " Amateur Poocher." 
Is a poocher one who catches poochies — a 
matcher " ? Possibly this book may have some 
connection with another one in the same library 
called " A Manual of In furious InsectS," which 
may be a treatise on puaceable poochies. 
Under " Miscellaneous" we have Herbert 
Spencer's " Socialogy." His " Sociology " ap- 
pears under " Art and Science." " The Laws 
of Racing" by Admiral Rons is among "Works 
of Reference." Mi Oliver Yorke pays a delicate 
compliment to his author by hibernicising his own 
name to O'Gorke in his edition of Father Print's 
" Reliques." Elizabeth Fry contributes The 
Listner and the stage has its representatives 
in Charles Kern and Francis Ann Kemble. 
There are several works on Ceylon — " Pra- 
dromus Faimae Zeylanicae," Eastern 
Monarchism, with details no doubt of the 
different Indian and Sinhalese dynasties, Silktr 
" Recollections " and Sir Samuel B akeis 
" Natural History of Ceylon." We miss Sir 
Emerson's Tennent's " Rifle and Hound in 
Ceylon." 
There are plenty of theological, gastronoraical 
and religious books, from (Jolenso on The 
Pentateuch to Reville or Revilla's " His- 
tory 01 till) Doctrine of the Dieiy " and 
Claris Calendoria— possibly aoouc a kind 
ot clear soup ; lUe " Koran translated by the Rev 
J M Kadwell " and the " Monks of the West " by 
Mortalembert, in which he describes how they 
mortified themselves. 
We have omitted to mention our late diocesan, 
Bisliop Coplestone whose name appears under 
three numbers. This must be the correct spellinf{, 
as he certainly never signed himself "R S Copies- 
ton " while here. 
But the most interesting book in the whola 
library is a treatise on "Fortification" (No 4464) 
by St Paul. The great apostle has told us, it is 
true, that he had fought a good fight, but we were 
unaware until we joined the Kandy Library that 
he had been a military engineer. This may account 
for the large number of Bibles found in The Boer 
trenches during the late war. No such incident 
is mentioned by Sandwith in the " Seige of Kars " 
(library.) 
TENNYSON AND SOME OF HIS 
FRIENDS. 
MB. AND MRS. 0. H. CAMERON. 
A delightful little book, in its wontents 
and in its getting-up, has just been published 
by Williams and Norgate, entitled " Glimpses 
of Tennyson and of some of his relatives 
and friends " by Agnes Grace W^eld (a niece) 
with an appendix by the late Bertram 
Tennyson— son of the Poet's youngest brother, 
Horatio, to whose surviving three daughters 
—Cecilia, Maud and Violet— this little work 
is dedicated. There are some attractive 
reproductions of painted portraits and every 
sentence of the letter-press is of interest ; 
but the part which naturally attracts our 
attention in Ceylon begins with references 
to the Oamerons in the Isle of Wight. For
