Exploring the Variety of Random
Documents with Different Content
In Latin we have an early copy in addition to those already noted,
viz.:

1560. Reg. Wolfe. 4to. (3406. c.)

Of which the British Museum possesses two copies of the same

press-mark, one of which is enriched with MS. notes and sixteen
cancelled leaves. Besides the above we have also

1589. 8vo. London. In French.

1599. 4to. London. Deputies of Ch. Barker. In Welsh.

Allow me to take this opportunity of thanking Archdeacon Cotton for

his very valuable communication. I trust that he and others of your
many learned readers will lend a helping hand to the correction of
this list, and its ultimate completion; the notice of the editions of
1551 and 1617 (Vol. vii., p. 18.) is as interesting as it is important. It
will be perceived that editions of the Prayer-Book referred to in
former lists are not enumerated in the present one.

PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES AND QUERIES.

Originator of the Collodion Process.—All those who take any interest
in photography must agree with your correspondent G. C. that M. Le
Gray is a talented man, and has done much for photography. G. C.
has given a very good translation of M. Le Gray's last published
work, p. 89., which work I have: but I must take leave to observe,
that it is no contradiction whatever to my statement. The
translations to which M. Le Gray alludes, of 1850, appeared in
Willat's publication, from which I gave him the credit of having first
suggested the use of collodion in photography. The subject is there
dismissed in three or four lines.
M. Le Gray gave no directions whatever for its application to glass in
his work published in July 1851, wherein he alludes to it only as an
"encallage" for paper, classing it with amidou, the resins, &c., which
he recommends in a similar manner.

I had, four months previous to this, published the process in detail in

the Chemist. I never asserted that he had not tried experiments with
collodion in 1849; but he did not give the public the advantage of
following him: and I again repeat that the first time M. Le Gray
published the collodion process was in September, 1852,—a year
and a half after my publication, and when it had become much used.

It is obvious that if M. Le Gray had been in possession of any

detailed process with collodion on glass in 1850, he would not have
omitted to publish it in his work dated July, 1851.
F. Scott Archer.
105. Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury.

G. C., claiming for Le Gray the merit of the first use of collodion
upon glass, states that a pamphlet upon the subject was published
in 1850, and which was translated into English at the same time. Will
he oblige me by stating who published this pamphlet, or where it
may be obtained? I have heard this statement before, and have
used every endeavour to obtain a sight of the publication, but
without success. Were the facts as stated by your correspondent, it
would deprive Mr. Archer undoubtedly of the merit which he claims;
but from all I have been able to learn, Le Gray mentioned collodion
as a mere agent for obtaining a smooth surface to paper, or other
substance, having no idea of making it the sole sensitive substance
to be employed. I have been informed that in Vienna, early in 1850,
collodion was tried upon glass by being first immersed in a bath of
iodide of potassium; and it was afterwards placed in a second bath
of nitrate of silver. These experiments had very limited success, and
were never published, and certainly were unknown to Mr. Archer.
H. W. D.
Mr. Weld Taylor's Process.—In your 167th Number (Vol. vii., p. 48.) is
a communication from Weld Taylor on photographic manipulation,
which, in its present form, is perfectly unintelligible. At p. 48. he
says: "Twenty grains of nitrate of silver in half an ounce of water is
to have half an ounce of solution of iodide of potassium of fifty
grains to the ounce added." Now this is unnecessarily mystifying.
Why not say: "Take equal quantities of a forty-grain solution of
nitrate of silver, and of a fifty-grain solution of iodide of potassium;"
though, in fact, an equal strength would do as well, and be quite as,
if not more, economical.

In the next place, he directs that cyanide of potassium should be

added drop by drop, &c. It is to be presumed that he means a
solution of this salt, which is a solid substance as usually sold.

What follows is so exceedingly droll, that I can do nothing more than

guess at the meaning. How one solution is to be floated on another,
and then, after a bath of nitrate of silver, is to be ready for the
camera, surpasses my comprehension.

Also, further on, he alludes to iodizing with the ammonio-nitrate (I

presume of silver). What does he mean?

Dr. Diamond's Services to Photography.—Sir, We, the undersigned

amateurs of Photography in the city of Norwich, shall be obliged if
you will (privately, or otherwise, at your own discretion) convey to
Dr. Diamond our grateful thanks for the frankness and liberality with
which he has published the valuable results of his experiments in the
pages of "N. & Q." We have profited largely by Dr. Diamond's
instructions, and beg to express our conviction that he is entitled to
the gratitude of every lover of the Art.

We are, Sir,
Your obedient servants,

[Agreeing, as we do most entirely, with the Photographers of Norwich in their
estimate of the skill and perseverance exhibited by Dr. Diamond in simplifying the
collodion and paper processes, and of his liberality in making known the results of
his experiments, we have great pleasure in giving publicity to this recognition of
the services rendered by Dr. Diamond to this important Art.]

Simplification of the Wax-paper Process.—At a late meeting of the

Chemical Discussion Society, Mr. J. How read the following paper on
this subject:—

"The easiest way of waxing the paper is to take an iron (those

termed 'box-irons' are the cleanest and best for the purpose)
moderately hot, in the one hand, and to pass it over the paper from
side to side, following closely after it with a piece of white wax, held
in the other hand, until the whole surface has been covered. By thus
heating the paper, it readily imbibes the wax, and becomes rapidly
saturated with it. The first sheet being finished, I place two more
sheets of plain paper upon it, and repeat the operation upon the top
one (the intermediate piece serving to absorb any excess of wax
that may remain), and so on, sheet after sheet, until the number
required is waxed.

"The sheets, which now form a compact mass, are separated by

passing the iron, moderately heated, over them; then placed
between folds of bibulous paper, and submitted to a further
application of heat by the means just described, so as to remove all
the superfluous wax from the surface, and render them perfectly
transparent—most essential points to be attended to in order to
obtain fine negative proofs.

"I will now endeavour to describe the method of preparing the

iodizing solution.

"Instead of being at the trouble of boiling rice, preparing isinglass,

adding sugar of milk and the whites of eggs, &c., I simply take some
milk quite fresh, say that milked the same day, and add to it, drop
by drop, glacial acetic acid, in about the proportion of one, or one
and a half drachm, fluid measure, to the quart, which will separate
the caseine, keeping the mixture well stirred with a glass rod all the
time; I then boil it in a porcelain vessel to throw down the remaining
caseine not previously coagulated, and also to drive off as much as
possible of the superfluous acid it may contain. Of course any other
acid would precipitate the caseine; still I give the preference to the
acetic from the fact that it does not affect the after-process of
rendering the paper sensitive, that acid entering into the
composition of the sensitive solution.

"After boiling for five or ten minutes, the liquid should be allowed to
cool, and then be strained through a hair sieve or a piece of muslin,
to collect the caseine: when quite cold, the chemicals are to be
added.

"The proportions I have found to yield the best results are those
recommended by Vicomte Veguz, which I have somewhat modified,
both as regard quantities and the number of chemicals employed.
They are as follow:

385 grains of iodide of potassium.

60 " of bromide.
30 " of cyanide.
20 " of fluoride.
10 " of chloride of sodium in crystals.
1½ " of resublimed iodine.
"The above are dissolved in thirty-five ounces of the strained liquid,
and, after filtration through white bibulous paper, the resulting fluid
should be perfectly clear and of a bright lemon colour.

"The iodized solution is now ready for use, and may be preserved, in
well-stopped bottles, for any length of time.

"The waxed paper is laid in the solution, in a flat porcelain or gutta

percha tray, in the manner described by M. Le Gray and others, and
allowed to remain there for from half an hour to an hour, according
to the thickness of the paper. It is then taken out and hung up to
dry, when it should be of a light brown colour. All these operations
may be carried on in a light room, taking care only that, during the
latter part of the process, the paper be not exposed to the direct
rays of the sun.

"The 'iodized paper,' which will keep for almost any length of time,
should be placed in a portfolio, great care being taken to lay it
perfectly flat, otherwise the wax is liable to crack, and thus spoil the
beauty of the negative. The papers manufactured by Canson Frères
and Lacroix are far preferable, for this process, to any of the English
kinds, being much thinner and of a very even texture.

"To render the paper sensitive, use the following solution:

150 grains nitrate of silver crystals.

3 fluid drachms glacial acetic acid, crystallizable.
5 ounces distilled water.

"This solution is applied in the way described by Le Gray, the marked

side of the paper being towards the exciting fluid. The paper is
washed in distilled water and dried, as nearly as possible, between
folds of bibulous paper. It should be kept, till required for the
camera, in a portfolio, between sheets of stout blotting-paper,
carefully protected from the slightest ray of light, and from the
action of atmospheric air. If prepared with any degree of nicety, it
will remain sensitive for two or three weeks: indeed I have seen
some very beautiful results on paper which had been kept for a
period of six weeks. At this time of year, an exposure in the camera
of from ten to twenty minutes is requisite.

"The picture may be developed with gallic acid, immediately after its
removal from the camera; or, if more convenient, that part of the
process may be delayed for several days. Whilst at this section of my
paper, I may, perhaps, be allowed to describe a method of preparing
the solution of gallic acid, whereby it may be kept, in a good state of
preservation, for several months. I have kept it myself for four
months, and have found it, after the lapse of that period, infinitely
superior to the newly-made solution. This process has, I am
informed, been alluded to in photographic circles; but not having
seen it in print, and presuming the fact to be one of great practical
importance, I trust I shall be excused for introducing it here, should
it not possess that degree of novelty I attribute to it.

"What is generally termed a saturated solution of gallic acid is, I am

led to believe, nothing of the kind. In all the works on photography,
the directions given run generally as follow:—'Put an excess of gallic
acid into distilled water, shake the mixture for about five minutes,
allow it to deposit, and then pour off the supernatant fluid, which is
found to be a saturated solution of the acid.'

"Now I have found by constant experiment, that by keeping an

excess of acid in water for several days, the strength of the solution
is greatly increased, and its action as a developing agent materially
improved. The method I have adopted is to put half an ounce of
crystallized gallic acid into a stoppered quart bottle, and then so to
fill it up with water as that, when the stopper is inserted, a little of
the water is displaced, and, consequently, every particle of air
excluded.

"The solution thus prepared will keep for several months. When a
portion of it is required, the bottle should be refilled with fresh
distilled water, the same care being taken to exclude every portion of
atmospheric air,—to the presence of which I am led to believe, is
due the decomposition of the ordinary solution of gallic acid.

"It will be needless to detain you further in explaining the after-

processes, &c. to be found in any of the recent works on the Waxed-
paper Process, the translation of the last edition of Le Gray being the
one to which I give the preference."

THE BURIAL SERVICE SAID BY HEART.

(Vol. vii., p. 13.)

Southey has confounded two stories in conjecturing that the

anecdote mentioned by Bp. Sprat related to Bull. It was the
baptismal and not the funeral service that Bull repeated from
memory.

I quote from his Life by Robert Nelson:

"A particular instance of this happened to him while he was

minister of St. George's (near Bristol); which, because it
showeth how valuable the Liturgy is in itself, and what
unreasonable prejudices are sometimes taken up against it, the
reader will not, I believe, think it unworthy to be related.

"He was sent for to baptize the child of a Dissenter in his parish;
upon which occasion, he made use of the office of Baptism as
prescribed by the Church of England, which he had got entirely
by heart. And he went through it with so much readiness and
freedom and yet with so much gravity and devotion, and gave
that life and spirit to all that he delivered, that the whole
audience was extremely affected with his performance; and,
notwithstanding that he used the sign of the cross, yet they
were so ignorant of the offices of the Church, that they did not
 thereby discover that it was the Common Prayer. But after that
he had concluded that holy action, the father of the child
returned him a great many thanks; intimating at the same time
with how much greater edification they prayed who entirely
depended upon the Spirit of God for his assistance in their
extempore effusions, than those did who tied themselves up to
premeditated forms; and that, if he had not made the sign of
the cross, that badge of Popery, as he called it, nobody could
have formed the least objection against his excellent Prayers.
Upon which, Mr. Bull, hoping to recover him from his ill-
grounded prejudices, showed him the office of Baptism in the
Liturgy, wherein was contained every prayer that was offered up
to God on that occasion; which, with farther arguments that he
then urged, so effectually wrought upon the good man and his
whole family, that they always after that time frequented the
parish-church; and never more absented themselves from Mr.
Bull's communion."—Pp. 39—41., Lond. 1714, 8vo.

Some few dates will prove that Bull could not have been the person
alluded to. Bp. Sprat's Discourse to the Clergy of his Diocese was
delivered in the Year 1695. And he speaks of the minister of the
London parish as one who "was afterwards an eminent Bishop of our
Church." We must therefore suppose him to have been dead at the
time of Bp. Sprat's visitation. Now, in the first place (as J. K.
remarks), "Bull never held a London cure." And, in the second place,
he was not consecrated Bishop until the 29th of April, 1705 (ten
years after Bp. Sprat's visitation), and did not die until Feb. 1709-10.
(Life, pp. 410—474.)

Southey's conjecture is therefore fatally wrong. And now as regards

Bp. Hacket. The omission of the anecdote from the Life prefixed to
his Sermons must, I think, do away with his claims also, though he
was restored to his parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and was not
consecrated Bishop of Lichfield until December, 1661. Unfortunately,
I have not always followed Captain Cuttle's advice, or I should now
be able to contribute some more decisive information. I have my
own suspicions on the matter, but am afraid to guess in print.
Rt.
Warmington.

The prelate to whom your correspondent alludes was Dr. John

Hacket, Rector of St. Andrews, Holborn, cons. to the see of Lichfield
and Coventry on December 22, 1661. The anecdote was first related
by Granger. (Chalmers's Biog. Dict., vol. xvii. p. 7.)

Bishop Bull, while rector of St. George's near Bristol, said the
Baptismal Office by heart on one occasion. (Nelson's Life, i. § ix. p.
34.; Works, Oxford, 1827.)

Mary Queen of Scots' Gold Cross (Vol. vi., p. 486.).—

"Would it not facilitate the identification of the Gold Cross of

Mary Queen of Scotts, in the possession of Mr. Price of Glasgow,
if a representation of it was sent to The Illustrated London
News, as the publication of it by that Journal would lead
antiquaries to the identification of a valuable historical relic?"

I hope you will insert the above in "N. & Q." in the hope it may meet
the eye of Mr. Price, and lead to a satisfactory result.

Jennings Family (Vol. vi., p. 362.).—This family is supposed to have

continued from some time in Cornwall, after the Visitation of 1620;
but the name is not now found there in any great respectability.
William Jennings of Saltash was sheriff of Cornwall, 1678; but his
arms differ from those of the Visitation: argent, a chevron gules
between three mariners, plumets sable.

Francis Jennnings, who recorded the pedigree of 1620, married the

daughter of Spoure of Trebartha; and in a MS. book of that family,
compiled about the latter part of the seventeenth century, the same
arms, strange to say, are stated to be his, and not the lion rampant
of the Jennings of Shropshire. This seems to support the hypothesis
that William Jennings, the sheriff, was the same family. The Spoure
MSS. also mention "Ursula, sister of Sir William Walrond of Bradfield,
Devon, who married first, William Jennings of Plymouth (query, the
sheriff?), and afterwards the Rev. William Croker, Rector of Wolfrey
(Wolfardisworthy?) Devon."

Adamson's "England's Defence" (Vol. vi., p. 580.) is well worth
attention at the present time; as is also its synopsis before
publication, annexed to Stratisticos, by John Digges, Muster Master,
&c., 4to., 1590, and filling pp. 369. to 380. of that curious work,
showing the wisdom of our ancestors on the subject of invasion by
foreigners.

Chief Justice Thomas Wood (Vol. vii., p. 14.).—In Berry's Hampshire

Visitation (p. 71.), Thomas Wood is mentioned as having married a
daughter of Sir Thomas de la More, and as having had a daughter
named Elizabeth, who married Sir Thomas Stewkley of Aston,
Devon, knight.

I am as anxious as N. C. L. to know something about Thomas

Wood's lineage; and shall be obliged by his telling me where it is
said that he built Hall O'Wood.
Edward Foss.

Aldiborontiphoscophornio (Vol. vii., p. 40.).—This euphonious and

formidable name will be found in The Most Tragical Tragedy that
ever was Tragidized by any Company of Tragedians, viz.,
Chrononhotonthologos, written by "Honest merry Harry Carey," who
wrote also The Dragon of Wantley, a burlesque opera (founded on
the old ballad of that name), The Dragoness (a sequel to The
Dragon), &c. &c. While the public were applauding his dramatic
drolleries and beautiful ballads (of which the most beautiful is "Sally
in our Alley"), their unhappy author, in a fit of despondency,
destroyed himself at his lodgings in Warner Street, Clerkenwell.
There is an engraving by Faber, in 1729, of Harry Carey, from a
painting by Worsdale (the celebrated Jemmy!); which is rare.

Statue of St Peter at Rome (Vol. vi., p. 604.).—This well-known
bronze statue is falsely stated to be a Jupiter converted. It is very far
from being true, though popularly it passes as truth, that the statue
in question is the ancient statue of Jupiter Capitolinus, with certain
alterations.

Another commonly-received opinion regarding this statue is, that it

was cast for a St. Peter, but of the metal of the statue of Jupiter
Capitolinus. But this can scarcely be true, for Martial informs us that
in his own time the statue of the Capitoline Jupiter was not of
bronze but of gold.

"Scriptus et æterno nunc primum Jupiter auro."

Lib. xi. Ep. iv.

Undoubtedly the statue was cast for a St. Peter. It was cast in the
time of St. Leo the Great (440-461), and belonged to the ancient
church of St. Peter's. St. Peter has the nimbus on his head; the first
two fingers of the right hand are raised in the act of benediction; the
left hand holds the keys, and the right foot projects from the
pedestal. The statue is seated on a pontifical chair of white marble.

Old Silver Ornament (Vol. vi., p. 602.).—This ornament is very

probably what your correspondent infers it is,—a portion of some
military accoutrement: if so, it may have appertained to some Scotch
regiment. It represents precisely the badge worn by the baronets of
Nova Scotia, the device upon which was the saltier of St. Andrew,
with the royal arms of Scotland on an escutcheon in the centre; the
whole surrounded by the motto, and ensigned with the royal crown.
The insignia of the British orders of knighthood are frequently
represented in the ornaments upon the military accoutrements of
the present day.

"Plurima, pauca, nihil," (Vol. vi., p. 511.).—A correspondent asks for
the first part of an epigram which ends with the words "plurima,
pauca, nihil." He is referred to an epigram of Martial, which I cannot
find. But I chance to remember two epigrams which were affixed to
the statue of Pasquin at Rome, in the year 1820, upon two Cardinals
who were candidates for the Popedom. They run as follows, and are
smart enough to be worth preserving:

"PASQUINALIA.

"Sit bonus, et fortasse pius—sed semper ineptus—

Vult, meditatur, agit, plurima, pauca, nihil."

"IN ALTERUM.

"Promittit, promissa negat, ploratque negata,

Hæc tria si junges, quis neget esse Petrum."
A. Borderer.

"Pork-pisee" and "Wheale" (Vol. vi., p. 579.).—Has not Mr. Warde, in

his second quotation, copied the word wrongly—"pork-pisee" for
pork-pesse? A porpoise is the creature alluded to; or porpesse, as
some modern naturalists spell it. "Wheale" evidently means whey:
the former expression is probably a provincialism.
Jaydee.

Did the Carians use Heraldic Devices? (Vol. vi., p. 556.).—Perhaps

the following, from an heraldic work of Dr. Bernd, professor at the
University of Bonn, may serve to answer the Queries of Mr. Booker.

Herodotus ascribes the first use, or, as he expresses it, the invention
of signs on shields, which we call arms, and of the supporter or
handle of the shield, which till then had been suspended by straps
from the neck, as well as of the tuft of feathers or horse-hair on the
helmet, to the Carians; in which Strabo agrees with him, and, as far
as regards the supporters and crest, Ælian also:
 "Herodot schrieb den ersten Gebrauch, oder wie er sich
ausdrückt, die Erfindung der Zeichen auf Schilden, die wir
Wappen nennen, wie auch der Halter oder Handhaben an den
Schilden, die bis dahin nur an Riemen um den Nacken getragen
wurden, und die Büsche von Federn oder Rosshaaren auf den
Helmen, den Cariern zu, worin ihm Strabo (Geogr. 14. I. § 27.),
und was die Handhaben und Helmbüsche betrifft, auch Ælian
(Hist. Animal. 12. 30.), beistimmen."—Bernd's Wappenwissen
der Griechen und Römer, p. 4. Bonn, 1841.

On Thucydides i. 8., where mention is made of Carians disinterred by

the Athenians in the island of Delos, the scholiast, evidently referring
to the passage cited by Mr. Booker, says:

"Κᾶρες πρῶτοι εὗρον τοὺς ὀμφαλοὺς τῶν ἀσπίδων, καὶ τοὺς

λόφους. τοῖς οὖν ἀποθνήσκουσι συνέθαπτον ἀσπιδισκιον
μικρὸν καὶ λόφον, σημεῖον τῆς ἑυρέσεως."

From Plutarch's Artaxerxes (10.) may be inferred, that the Carian

standard was a cock; for the king presented the Carian who slew
Cyrus with a golden one, to be thenceforth carried at the head of
the troop.

For full information on the heraldry of the ancients, your

correspondent can scarcely do better than consult the above-quoted
work of Dr. Bernd.

Herbert Family (Vol. vi., p. 473.).—The celebrated picture of Lord

Herbert of Cherbury by Isaac Oliver, at Penshurst, represents him
with a small swarthy countenance, dark eyes, very dark black hair,
and mustachios. All the Herberts whom I have seen are dark-
complexioned and black-haired. This is the family badge, quite as
much as the unmistakeable nose in the descendants of John of
Gaunt.
 E. D.

Children crying at Baptism (Vol. vi., p. 601.).—I am inclined to

suspect that the idea of its being lucky for a child to cry at baptism
arose from the custom of exorcism, which was retained in the
Anglican Church in the First Prayer-Book of King Edward VI., and is
still commonly observed in the baptismal services of the Church of
Rome. When the devil was going out of the possessed person, he
was supposed to do so with reluctance: "The spirit cried, and rent
him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch
that many said, He is dead." (St. Mark, ix. 26.) The tears and
struggles of the infant would therefore be a convincing proof that
the Evil One had departed. In Ireland (as every clergyman knows)
nurses will decide the matter by pinching the baby, rather than allow
him to remain silent and unlachrymose.
Rt.
Warmington.

Americanisms (Vol. vi., p. 554.).—The word bottom, applied as your

correspondent Uneda remarks, is decidedly an English provincialism,
of constant use now in the clothing districts of Gloucestershire,
which are called "The Bottoms," whether mills are situated there or
not.

Dutch Allegorical Picture (Vol. vi., p. 457.).—In the account I gave

you of this picture I omitted one of the inscriptions, which I but just
discovered; and as the picture appears to have excited some interest
in Holland (my account of it having been translated into Dutch[6], in
the Navorscher), I send you this further supplemental notice.

I described a table standing under the window, on the left-hand side

of the room, containing on the end nearest to the spectator, not two
pewter flagons, as I at first thought, but one glass and one pewter
flagon. On the end of this table, which is presented to the spectator,
is an inscription, which, as I have said, had hitherto escaped my
notice, having been partially concealed by the frame—a modern one,
not originally intended for this picture, and partly obscured by dirt
which had accumulated in the corner. I can now make out very
distinctly the following words, with the date, which fixes beyond a
question the age of the picture:

"Hier moet men gissen

Glasen te wasser
Daer in te pissen
En soú niet passen.
1659."

I may also mention, that the floor of the chamber represented in the
picture is formed of large red and blue square tiles; and that the
folio book standing on end, with another lying horizontally on the
top of it, which I said in my former description to be standing on the
end of the table, under the window, is, I now see, standing not on
the table, but on the floor, next to the chair of the grave and
studious figure who sits in the left-hand corner of the room.

These corrections of my first description have been in a great

measure the result of a little soap and water applied with a sponge
to the picture.

With some corrections in the reading of the inscriptions.

Myles Coverdale (Vol. vi., p. 552.).—I have a print before me which is

intended to represent the exhumation of Coverdale's body. The
following is engraved beneath:

"The Remains of Myles Coverdale, Bishop of Exeter, as they

appeared in the Chancel of the Church of St. Bartholomew, near
the Exchange. Buried Feb. 1569. Exhumed 23d Sept. 1840.
 Chabot, Zinco., Skinner Street."

If I am not mistaken, his remains were carried to the church of St.

Magnus, near London Bridge, and re-interred.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.
One of the most beautifully got up cheap publications which we have
seen for a long time, is the new edition of Byron's Poems, just issued
by Mr. Murray. It consists of eight half-crown volumes, which may be
separately purchased, viz. Childe Harold, one volume; Tales and
Poems, one volume; and the Dramas, Miscellanies, and Don Juan,
&c., severally in two volumes. Mr. Murray has also made another
important contribution to the cheap literature of the day in the
republication, in a cheap and compendious form, of the various
Journals of Sir Charles Fellows, during those visits to the East to
which we owe the acquisition of the Xanthian Marbles. The present
edition of his Travels and Researches in Asia Minor, and more
particularly in the Province of Lycia, as it embraces the substance of
all Sir Charles's various journals and pamphlets, and only omits the
Greek and Lycian inscriptions, and lists of plants and coins, and such
plates as were not capable of being introduced into the present
volume, will, we have no doubt, be acceptable to a very numerous
class of readers, and takes its place among the most interesting of
the various popular narratives of Eastern travel.

Most of our readers will probably remember the memorable remark

of Lord Chancellor King, that "if the ancient discipline of the Church
were lost, it might be found in all its purity in the Isle of Man." Yet
notwithstanding this high eulogium on the character of the saintly
Bishop Wilson, it is painful to find that his celebrated work, Sacra
Privata, has hitherto been most unjustifiably treated and mutilated,
as was noticed in our last volume, p. 414. But here we have before
us, in a beautifully printed edition of this valuable work, the good
bishop himself, what he thought, and what he wrote, in his Private
Meditations, Devotions, and Prayers, now for the first time printed
from his original manuscripts preserved in the library of Sion College,
London. Much praise is due to the editor for bringing this manuscript
before the public, as well as for the careful superintendence of the
press; and we sincerely hope he will continue his labours of research
in Sion College as well as in other libraries.

There are doubtless many of our readers who echo Ben Jonson's
wish that Shakspeare had blotted many a line, referring of course to
those characteristic of the age, not of the man, which cannot be
read aloud. To all such, the announcement that Messrs. Longman
have commenced the publication in monthly volumes of a new
edition of Bowdler's Family Shakspeare, in which nothing is added to
the original text, but those words and expressions are omitted which
cannot with propriety be read in a family, will be welcome
intelligence. The work is handsomely printed in Five-Shilling
Volumes, of which the first three are already published.

Books Received.—Memoirs of James Logan, a distinguished Scholar

and Christian Legislator, &c., by Wilson Armistead. An interesting
biography of a friend of William Penn, and one of the most learned
of the early emigrants to the American Continent.—Yule-Tide Stories,
a Collection of Scandinavian and North German Popular Tales and
Traditions. The name of the editor, Mr. Benjamin Thorpe, is a
sufficient guarantee for the value of this new volume of Bohn's
Antiquarian Library. In his Philological Library, Mr. Bohn has
published a new and enlarged edition of Mr. Dawson W. Turner's
Notes on Herodotus: while in his Classical Library he has given The
Pharsalia of Lucan literally translated into English Prose, with
Copious Notes, by H. T. Riley, B.A.; and has enriched his Scientific
Library by the publication of Dr. Chalmers's Bridgewater Treatise on
the Power, Wisdom, and Goodness of God, as manifested in the
Adaption of External Nature to the Moral and Intellectual
Constitution of Man, with the author's last corrections, and a
Biographical Preface by Dr. Cumming.
Photographic Manipulation. The Wax-paper Process of Gustave Le
Gray, translated from the French, published by Knight & Sons; and
Hennah's Directions for obtaining both Positive and Negative Pictures
upon Glass by means of the Collodion Process, &c., published by
Delatouche & Co., are two little pamphlets which will repay the
photographer for perusal, but are deficient in that simplicity of
process which is so much to be desired if Photography is to be made
more popular.
