Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

The Book op Oerne.
The body of the book (No. I.) is the relic of some local saint, which was
afterwards preserved in the Abbey of Ceme in Dorsetshire ; the other por-
tions (Nos. II. and III.) were put with it long afterwards. One Ethel wald
was Bp of Sherborne in the viiith centnry ; and St Ed wold (not a Bp) was
the traditional founder of the Abbey in the xth.

This consists of four parts, of which Part 1 (ff. 1 — 41, sign, a — e) con-
tains the ' Passio (et Resurrectio) Domini' from the four Gospels, followed
by a long prayer headed 'Alma Oratio.' The text is very close to that of
the Cod» Amiat,, and each Passio has a frontispiece and illuminated heading.
F. 1 is lost, but f 2 a (2 6 is the fi-ontidpiece to St Matthew) contains the
conclusion of some directions concerning prayer, in Anglo-Saxon, in the
original handwriting. F. 21 a (21 fr is the frontispiece to St Luke) eon-
tains a Latin acrostic giving the words AEDELVALD EPISCOPVS.

between Christ and Adam and Eve. The last words on f. 99 & close a sen-

This MS. coincides in the minutest details with a Pontifical of the same
date (but complete) in the library of Trinity College, B. xi, 10, except that
it omits the Consecratio Regis which the Trin. Coll. MS. contains.
From the above group of saints, especially as S. Adeldrytha's name is in
large letters, it seems reasonable to suppose that this pontifical belonged to
the Church of Ely, which is dedicated to S. Adeldrytha (or, as it is usually,
S. Etheldreda) and S. Peter, while SS. Sexburga and Wihtburga were her
sisters, and Ermenhilda closely connected with her — they are represented
together, discussing the removal of S. Etheldreda's body, in one oi the sculp-
tures in Ely Cathedral.

Of Anthony Harison, who made this collection, the following particulars
are chiefly giren by himself in diflerent places in the MS. He was bom
at Oyer, in Cambridgeshire, 13 Not. 1563. In lCi03, being then Solicitor
and Attorney by patent to the Uniyersity of Cambridge, he was appointed
secretaiy to Dr Jegon, Bp of Norwich, and went with him to the palace at
Norwich. He descrii)es himself as collector of the tenths of the Bishoprick,
and he held the office of Coroner within the liberties of the see for the 3
years immediately preceding 1608, when, in consequence of a suit in the
Star Chamber, he resigned it. He was afterwards instituted to the Rectoiy
of Catfield in Norfolk (according to Blomefield, in 1609), and probably died
in 1638, as his successor was instituted in that year. The following obeer-
▼ation of his own explains the origin of this collection : ' I have from tyme
to tyme for the space of 30 yeares paste bene a diligent obseryer and pre-
seryer of all matters which did conceme the Bp of Norwich, wheresoeyer I
found them, in print or manuscript.' MS. p. 420. Some collections of
Harison relating to the See of Norwich are among Tanner s MSS. in the
Bodleian Library. See Cat Cod. MSS. Bibl. BodL Para ly.

They contain the rarious readings from the ancient Proctors' Books^
and appear to have been collated by the Rev. Adam Wall, who prepared
the copy for the edition printed by the University in 1785, as his figares in
pencil occur on many of the pages. (See Mm. v. 53 — 54.) They differ in
some degree from that Collection, as will be seen from the following enume-
ration of the contents of the volumes.
Vol. I. 'Statuta Antiqua.' The words 'in ordinem redacta/ in the

and the Kino's College, 8 Feb. 1456—7. Copied from the Blade Parchmeni
Book.' This occupies a later position in the printed copy, at p. 518.

copy, but without title, and they include a few more selections from the
Grace Books, with occasionally the names of the Vice-Chancellor and
Proctors.

A quarto, on vellum, containing ff. 294, with 28 lines in
a page. Date, the xiith century.
Thb Gospels, Acts, and Epistles in Obebk.
The Eusebian canons in rubrick occupy the first 9 pages; three which
follow and eight others throughout the MS. originally blank, have tables
of Church lessons badly written in a later hand. The MS. is written in
a small, but very distinct hand ; there are headings in red throughout.
In the Goqwls the Ammonian sections are placed in the margin in red,
and throughout the MS. the beginnings and initial words of the Church-
lessons are given in red. To each lesson is prefixed a rubrick capital. There
are vwo$€atis to the Catholick and first 8 Pauline Epistles, and after the
Acts, 1 and 2 S. Peter, 3 S. John, and before the Romans, blank squares
are ruled in red. The hands of two separate correctors may be traced
in the text and margin, and a modem hand has numbered the leaves, and
noted the modem chapters. This is the MS. numbered by Scholz 440
in the Gospels^ 111 in the Acts, and 221 in S. Paul. Mr Scrivener, to
whom this description is due, has collated it in the Appendix to his
edition of the Codex Augjensis. Camb. 185D. See his Introduction,

These volumes originally formed one MS., which is on parch-
ment, the first volmne containing 180 leaves, the latter 166 leaveSi
and terminating abruptly, each page containing 30 lines in double
columns, written in a fine bold hand, which seems to belong
to the XI th or xiith century. Various later hands have added
remarks, and others have mutilated the MS. in some places:
it is almost destitute of ornamentation, but this is here and
there very grotesque. (See fol. 167.)

The greater part of this homily has been torn away from the MS.
From Dr Askew's sale, 1785. n. 613.
A MSb slip in Askew's hand indicates the places in Sayile's edition where
the contents of the MS, are printed.
2552 Nil I. 23.
A thick folio, on parchment, of 273 leaves, in double co-
lumns, each column containing 28 lines, well written in a hand
which may be referred to the xith or xiith century. From
fol. 248 to the end the MS. is written in a rather bter hand,
probably of the xiith century. The first two leaves of the MS.
have been lost, but are now very neatly supplied (in bombyx
paper) by a hand of the xvith or xviith century. The capital
letters are slightly ornamented in an archaic style, and a few
ornamentations occur at the heads of the treatises. The i sub-
script (expressed in the following extracts) is either written
adscript in this MS. or omitted altogether: the accents and
breathings are often very faulty. The pagination after fol. 230
is erroneous, being followed by fol. 232, where however nothing
is wanting: it is here retained notwithstanding. The MS. has
been much injured by damp.

paid him by the principal Librarian, who, on his earnest request, gaye up

GoDBx B£ZAB, SEU NovuM Testamentum Graecum cuh
Vebsione Latina antehibbonymiana.
Printed, page for page and line for line, in facsimile type, with a
preface by the Editor, Thomas Kipling, D.D., CarUdMgiae, 1793, 2 vols,
folio. Another edition, in common type, is in preparation by the Rev.
F. H. Scriyener.
The Greek text is cited in the editions as D, the Latin as d. As
the book lies open, the Greek occupies the left, and the Latin the right
hand page. The oyoyMNrfiara are marked at the side in a later hand.
The Tolume once contained (1) the Gospels (SS. Matthew, John, Luke,
Mark), (2) the Catholic Epistles (ending with the three Epistles of
8. John), of which however only the last page now remains, (3) the Acts
of the Apostles, followed probably by the rest of the New Testament,
but all after d, * ... adsistans et consentiens' (Acts zxll 20), and D,
* ,»,dn€<rnfa(uf av avrov' (Acts zxii. 29), is now wanting.
The quires consist of 4 sheets, or 8 leaves, each, except the one
signed A A, which has but 3 sheets, or 6 leaves. The original signatures
may still be seen at the foot of the last page of many of the quires. The
deficiencies in the text are noted in most of the critical editions, Ti-
Bchendorf, Alford, &c., and, with greater exactness, in Mr Scrivener's
Plain Introduetian to the Criticism of ike New* Testament (Cambridge,
1861, 8vo), p. 97. They are caused by the following mutilations:
A 1, 2, 7, r, IB 8 (not entirely), lA, KB, MA 6, 7, 8, ME — NB, NZ, KA 1, 6
(partly), 7, SE to the end of the volume. Of these gaps A 7 is supplied
by one leaf, KB 1 — 8 by seven, and MA 6, 7, by one. The Latin supply
is said to be of the izth century, the Greek early xith; Tischendoif
cites it as D***. The fragment of IB 8 which remains (d part of Matt,
zxvi. 65 — 67, D part of Matt, xxvii. 2) escaped the notice of Kipling.
SA 6 seems to have been mutilated in recent times, as readings are cited
from the lost portion by Wetstein, unless there be some inaccuracy on
his part. On the question of Lugdunensis or Claromontanus see Mr
Scrivener's note (Plain Introduction, &c. as above, p. 97), but the
matter still remains to be cleared up. Beza's own account of the dis-
covery, and his letter to the University on presenting the book, are
bound up with the volume. They are printed by Kipling in his Preface.
Other details, more or less full, concerning this remarkable book, which
must always be considered one of the earliest monuments of the ancient
Gallican Church, will be found in almost all the Introductions to the
New Testament, and the Prolegomena to the various editions.

Nineteen Lectures upon some of the Articles of the
Church of England. By Robert Lambert, D.D., Master
of St John^s College, Cambridge.
There are dates in the mai^n extending from 1707 to 1719^ not in chro-

given in the College. The whole is fairly written as if for tho press. On
the fly-leaf at the end is Lambert's name^ and a note that 3 MS. books are
for his nephew, Leonard Chappelow.
Lambert became Master of the College in 1727. A copy of his will,
which was proved 21 Feb., 1734-5, is in Baker's MSS. XXXVL 263. He
bequeathed all his MSS. and papers in writing to Leonard Chappelow,

A small folio, on yellum, of 1 70 leaves, each page containing
47 lines, well written in a hand of the xivth century. Very
numerous notes (a few Greek), of various ages, accompany the

161 to the end the MS. is a palimpsest, and written in a much
later hand, i.e. of the end of the xvth or beginning of the
XYith century. Various illuminations of different ages occur in

France in a hand of the xv th century. At the commencements
of the treatises (fol. 2 and 118) are richly illuminated borders,

hand has noted against the place where the addition begins : Nota hie per
modnm epilog! recapitolationem hujus belli contra Pompeios (foL 2886).
Julius Celsus made a recension of Cesar's text, and consequently has
been called the author of some of his works in various MSS. See Smith's

A small quarto, on silky paper (charta honihf/cina)^ now
containing 166 leaves, each page containing about 20 lines, con-
sisting of two MSS. bound up together^', neatly written in different
hands, but about the same time. Both MSS. contain contem-
porary glosses and scholia, and slight ornamentations.
A. contains 88 leaves, some of which are in very bad con-
dition, belonging to the xivth century, and being in fact a con-
tinuation of Nn. III. 14.
• Originally, In Dobree*8 opinion, forming one MS. with Nn. in. 14, which Ponon
assigns to the xivth century. See Dobree, Porson, Arittophan. prmf, p. ix. He
remarks iU similarity to Nn. in. 15, § 1; which MS. cannot be earlier than Thomas
Hagister. Bat Batler inclines to put the present MS. earlier. < Est sfecali xit, vel
forte etiam xiii.* He says of Nn. in. 17, § 2, «SiBcnli xiv yel xv,' which seems too
late.

THE CAMBRIDGE PARAGRAPH BIBLE
of the Authorized English Version, with the Text Revised by a Colla-
tion of its Early and other Principal Editions, the Use of the Italic
Type made uniform, the Marginal References remodelled, and a Criti-
callntroduction prefixed, by the Rev. F. H. Scrivener, M.A.,LL.D.,
Editor of the Greek Testament, Codex Augiensis, &c., and one of
the Revisers of the Authorized Version. Crown Quarto, cloth, gilt, 21s.
From the Timet,
"Students of the Bible should be fMuticu-
larly grateful to (the Cambridge University
Press) for having produced, with the able as-
sistance of Dr Scrivener, a complete critical
edition of the Authorized Version of the Eng-
lish Bible, an edition such as, to use the words
of the Editor, 'would have been executed
long ago had this version been nothing more
than the greatest and best known of English
classics.' Falling at a time when the formal
revision of this version has been undertaken
by a distinguished company of scholars and
divines, the publication of this edition must
be considerea most opportune."
From the AtAetuntm,
"Apart from its religious importance, the
English Bible has the glory, which but few
sister versions indeed can claim, of being the
chief classic of the language, of having, in
conjunction with Shakspeare, and in an im-
measurable degree more than he, fixed the
language Ueyond any possibility of important
change. Thus the recent contnbutions to the
literature of the subject, bv buch workers as
M r Francis Fry and Canon W estcott, appeal to
a wide range of sympathies; and to these may
now be added Dr Scrivener, well known fur
his labours in the cause of the Greek Testa-
ment criticism, who has brought out. for the
Syndics of the Cambridge University Press,
an edition of the Englii^h Bible, according to
the text of x6xi, revised by a comparison with
later issues on principles staled by him in his
Introduction. Here he enters at length into
the history of the chief editions of the version.
and of such features as the marginal notes,
the use of italic tvpe, and the changes of or-
thography, as well as into the most interesting
question as to the original texts from which
om* transladoo is produced."
From the MetkodUt Recordtr.
** lliis noble quarto of over 1300 pages is
in every respect worthy of editor and pub-
lishers alike. The name of the Cambridge
University Press is guarantee enough for its
perfection in outward form, the name of the
editor is egiMl guarantee for the worth and
accuracy of its contents. IVithout question,
it is the best Paragraph BiUe ever puUi^ed,
and its reduced price of a guinea brings it
within reach of a large number of students. .
But the volume is much more than a Para-
graph Bible. It is an attempt, and a success-
ful attempt, to give a critical edition of the
Authorised English Version, not (let it be
marked) a revision, but an exact reproduc-
tion of the original Authorii«ed Version, as
published in x6ii, minus patent mistakes.
This is doubly necessary at a time when the
version is about to undergo revision. . . To
all who at this season seek a suiuble. volume
for presentation to ministers or teadiers we
earnestly commend this work."
From the LotteUm QwarUrly Review.
•• The work is worthy in every respect of
the editor's fame, and of the Cambridge
University Press. The noble English Ver-
sion, to which our country and religion owe
so much, was probably never presented be-
fore in so perfect a form.*'

SAYINGS OF THE JEWISH FATHERS,
comprising Pirqe Aboth and Pereq R. Meir in Hebrew and English,
with Critical and Illustrative Notes. By Charles Taylor, M.A.
Fellow and Divinity Lecturer of St John's College, Cambridge^ and
Honorary Fellow of King's College, London. Demy 8vo. cloth. lOf.
** It is peculiarly maimbent on those who
look to Jerome or Origen for their theology or
exesesis to learn something of their Fewish
predece«iors. The New Testament abounds
with itayings which remarkably coincide with,
or closely resemble, those of the Jewish
Fathers; and these latter probably would
furnish more satisfactory ana frequent illus-
trations of its text than the Old Testament"
—Saturday Review.
"The '^Masseketh Aboth' stands at the
head of Hebrew non-canonical writings. It
is of ancirnt date, claiming to contain the
dicta of teachers who flourished from b.c. 200
to the same year of our era. llie precise
time of its compilation in its present form is,
of course, in doubt. Mr Taylor's explana-
tory and illustrative commentary is very full
and satisfactory."— ^/«-/<i/i?r.
"If we mi^ake not, this is the first pre-
cise translation into the English language
accompanied by scholarfy notes, of any por*
tion of the Talmud. In other words, it is
the first instance of that most valuable and
neglected portion of Jewish literature being
treated in the same way as a Greek clvsic
in an ordinary critical edition. . . The Tal-
mudic books, which have been so strangely
neglected, we foresee will be the most im-
portant aids of the future for the proper un-
derstandine of the Bible. . . The Sayings of
the yetuisA Fathers may claim to be scholar-
Iv, and, moreover, of a scholarship unusually
tnorough and finished." — Dubttn Univer-
sity Magazine.
"A careful and thorough edition which
does credk to English scholarship, of a short
treatise from the Mishna, containing a series

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA'S COMMENTARY
ON THE MINOR EPISTLES OF S. PAUL.
The Latin Version with the Greek Fragments, edited from the MSS.
with Notes and an Introduction, by H. B. SwETE, D.D., Rector of
Ashdon, Essex, and late Fellow of Gonville and Caius College,
Cambridge. In Two Volumes. Vol. I., containing the Introduction,
with Facsimiles of the MSS., and the Commentary upon Galatians —
Colossians. Demy 06lavo. 12^.
Swete has prepared himself for his task by a
serious study of the literature and history
which are connected with it; and he has pro-
duced a volume of high value to the student,
not merely of the theology of the fourth and
fifth centuries, but of the effect of this theo-
logy on the later developments of doctrine
and methods of interpretation, in the ages
immediately following, and in the middle
ages. **^^uardian.

** The ' Select Discourses' of John Smith,
collected and published from his papers after
his death, are, in my opinion, much the most

" or all the products of the Cambridge

Prof. Palmer has made an addition to Ori-
ental literature for which scholars should be
grateful ; and that, while his knowledge of
Arabic is a sufficient guarantee for his mas-

are distinguished by versatility, command of
language, rhythmical cadence, and, as we
have remarked, by not un&kilful imitations of
the styles of several of our ovm favourite

** Phis sumptuous edition of the poems of
Behd-ed-d(n Zoheir is a very welcome addi-
tion to the small series of Eastern poets
accessible to readers who are not Oriental-
ists. ... In all there is that exquisite finish of
which Arabic poetry is susceptiUe in so rare
a degree. The form is almost always beau-
tiful, be the thought what it may. But this,
of course, can only be fully appreciated by
OrientalisLs.^ And this brings us to the trans-
lation. It is excellently well done. Mr
Palmer has tried to imitate the fall of the
original in his selection of the English metre
for the various pieces, and thus contrives to
convey a faint idea of the sraceful flow of
the Arabic Altogether the inside of the
book is worthy of the beautiful arabesque
binding that rejoices the eye of the lover of
Arab wet."— Academy.
** Professor Palmer's activity in advancing
Arabic scholarship has formerly shown itself
in the production of his excellent Arabic
Grammar, and his Descriptive Catalogue of
Arabic MSS. in the Library of Trinity Col-
lege, Cambridge. He has now produced an
admirable text, which illustrates m a remark-
able manner the flexibilitv and graces of the
language he loves so well, and of which he
seems to be perfect master.... The Syndicate
of Cambridge University mu«t not pass with-
out the recognition of their liberality in
bringing out, m a worthy form, so important
an Arabic text It is not the first time that
Oriental scholarship has thus been wisely
subsidiiied by Cambridge."— Indian Mail.
** It is impossible to quote this edition with-
out an expression of admiration for the per-
fection to which Arabic typography has been
brought in England in this magnificent Ori-
ental work, the production of which redounds
to the impcriiJiable credit of the University
of Cambridge. It may be pronounced one of
the most beautiful Oriental books that have
ever been printed in Euro|>e : and the learning
of the Editor worthily rivals the technical
S!t-up of the creations of the soul of one of

accurate, his experience of editing wide, and
if he is content to devote his learning and
abilities to the production of such manuals
as these, thev will be received with gratitude
tiiroughout tne higher schools of the country.
Mr Sandys is deeply read in the German
literature which bears upon his author, and
the elucidation of matters of daily life, in the
delineation of which Demosthenes is so ridi,
obtains full justice at his hands. .... We
hope this edition may lead the way to a more

OLYMPIAN AND PYTHIAN ODES. With Notes Explanatory
and Critical, Introductions and Introductory Essays* Edited by
C. A. M. Fennell, M,A., late Fellow of Jesus College. Crown Oc-

'*Mr Fennell deserves the thanks of all
•classical students for his careful and scholarly
edition of the Olympian and Pythian odes.
He brings to his task the necessary enthu-
siasm for his author, great industry, a sound
judgment, and, in particular^ copious and
minute learning in comparative philology.
To his qualifications in this last respect every
page bears witness." — Aihetuntm.
"Considered simply as a contribution to
the study and criticism of Pindar, Mr Fen-
nell's edition is a work of great merit. But
it has a wider interest, as exemplifying the
change which has come over the methods
and aims of Cambridge scholarship vrithin
the last ten or twelve years. . . . The short
introductions and arguments to the Odes,
which for so discursive an author as Pindar
are all but a necessity, are both careful and
acute. . . Altogether, this edition is a welcome
and wholesome sign of the vitality and de-
velopment of Cambrid^ sdiolarship, and we
are glad to see that it is to be contmued."—
Saturday Review.
"There are many reasons why Mr C. A.
M. Fennell's edition of ' Pindar's Olympian
and Pythian Odes ;' should not go unnoticed,
even though our space forbids doing it full
justice; as a helpful complement and often
corrective of preceding editions, both in its
insight into comparative philology, its critical
acumen, and its general sobriety ^ editing.
In etymology especially the volume marks a
generation later than Donaldson's, though
holding in respect his brilliant authority. . .
Most helpful, too, is the introductory essay
on Pindar's style and dialect, wmle the
dironological sequence of the Odes (pp.
xxxi. — xxxii.X and the 'Metrical Schemes*'

mentary, leave nothing to be desiderated." —

Mr Sandys we may safely say that never
before has a Greek play, in England at
least, had fuller justice done to its criti*

** The volume is interspersed with well-

already wide popularity of a unique drama,

portant classical publications of the year."—

"This work is in many ways creditable to
the University of Cambridge. The solid and
extensive erudition of Mr Cope himself bears
none the less speaking evidence to the value
of the tradition which he continued, if it is
not equally accompanied b^ those qualities of
speculative originality and independent judg-
ment which belong more to tne individual
writer than to his school. And while it must
ever be regretted that a work so laborious
should not have received the last touches of
its author, the warmest admiration is due to
Mr Sandys, for the manly, unselfish, and un-
flinching spirit in which he has performed his
most difficult and delicate task. If an English
student wishes to have a full conception of
what is contained in the Rhetoric of Aris-
totle, to Mr Cope's edition he must go."—
Academy.
"Mr Sandys has performed his arduous
duties with marked ability and admirable
tact When the original Com-
mentary stops abruptly three chapters be-
fore the end of the third book, Mr Sandys
carefully supplies the deficiencv, following
Mr Cope's general plan and the slightest
available indications of his intended treat-
ment. In Appendices he has reprinted from
classical journals several articles of Mr
Cope's ; and, what is better, he has given the
best of the late Mr Shilleto's 'Adversaria.'
In every part of his work— revising, supple-

A SELECTION OF THE STATE TRIALS.
By J. W. Willis-Bund, M.A., LLB., Barrister-at-Law, Professor of
Constitutional Law and History, University College, London. Vol. L
Trials for Treason (1327 — 1660). Crown 8vo. cloth, i&r.
*' A great and eood service has been done
to all students of history, and especially to
those of them who look to it in a legal aspect,
by Prof. J. W. WiUU-Bund in the publica-
tion of a SeUctum of Caus/rctn the State
Trials. . . . Professor Willis- Bund has been
very careful to give such selections from the
State Trials as will best illustrate those
points in what may be called the growth of
the Law of Treason which he wishes to
bring clearly under die notice of the student,
and the result is. that tliere is not a page in
the book which has not its own lesson
In all respects, so far as we have been able
to test it, this book is admirably done."— -
Scotsman.
"Mr Willis-Bund has edited *A Selection
of Cases from the State Trials' which is
likely to form a very valuable addition to
the standard literature. . . There can
be no doubt, therefore, of the interest that
can be found in the State trials. But they
are large and unwieldy, and it is impossible
for the general reader to come across them.
Mr Willis-Bund has therefore done good
service in making a selection that is in the
first volume reduced to a commodious form."
— TAe ExatHtMtr.
" Every one engaged, either in teaching
or in historical inquiry, must have felt the
want of such a book, taken from the unwieldy
volumes of the State Trials.** — Contemporary
Review.
**Thts work is a very useful contribution
to that important branch of the constitutional
history of England which is concerned with
the growth and development of the law of
treason, as it may be gathered from trials he-
fore the ordinary courts. The author has
very wisely distinguished these cases from
those of impeachment for treason before Par-
liament, which he proposes to treat in a future
volume under the general head ' Proceedings
in ParliamenL'"— Ti*< Academy.
** This is a work of such obvious utility
that the only wonder is that no one should
have undertaken it before. ... In many
respects therefore, although the trials are
more or less abridged, this is for the ordinary
student's purpose not only a more handy,
but a more useful work tnan Howell's.**—
Saturday Review.
''Within the boards of this useful and
handy book the student will find everything
he can desire in the way of lists of cases
given at length or referred to, and the
statutes bearing on the text arranged chro-
nologically. The work of selecting from
Howell's Dulky series of volumes has been
done with much judgment, merely curious
cases being excluded, and sdl included so
treated as to illustrate some important point
of constitutional \xw.**—Gtasgow HerauL
" Mr Willis-Bund gives a risumi of each
case as it comes, only quoting from the re-
ports where the woitis of the original are
important in themselves, and very often
stating the point decided in his own words.
By following this method he is able to intro-
duce extraneous matter which does not
strictly belong to the case in hand, such as
Acts of Parliament, and in that way to make
his book boih more intelligible and more in-
teresting. In the several trials which we
have read he has done his work very well.
The book should be veiy interesting to the
historical student . . . From what we have
seen of this book we have fveat pleasure in
recommending it." — Guarduut.
" Mr Bund's object is not the romance,
but the constitutioaal and legal bearings of
that great series of causes cJiibres which is
unfortunately not within easy reach of
readers not happy enough to possess valua-
ble libraries. ... Of the impcwtance of this
subject, or_ of the want of a book of this
kind, referring not vaguely but precisely to
the grounds of constitutional doctrines, ooth
of past and present times, no reader of his-
tory can feel any doubt.'* — Daily News.

HISTOEY.
LIFE AND TIMES OF STEIN, OR GERMANY
AND PRUSSIA IN THE NAPOLEONIC AGE,
by J, R. Seeley, M.A., Regius Professor of Modem History in
the University of Cambridge, with Portraits and Maps. 3 Vols.
Demy 8vo. 48 j.
"If we could conceive anything similar
to a protective system in the intellectual de-
partment, we might perhaps look forward to
a time when our historians would raise the
cry of protection for native industry. Of
the unquestionably greatest German men of
modem history — I speak of Frederick the
Great, Goethe and Stein — the first two found
long since in Carlylc and Lewes biographers
who have undoubtedly driven their German
competitors out of the field. And now in the
vear just past Professor Seeley of Cambridge
has presented us with a biography of Stem
which, thoiigh it modestly declines competi-
tion with German works and disowns the
>resumption of teaching us Grermans our own
listory, yet casts into the shade by its bril-
iant superiority all that we have otirselves
litherto written about Stein.... In five long
chapters Seeley expounds the legislative and
administrative reforms, the emancipation of
the person and the soil, the beginnings of
free administration and free trade, in short
the foundation of modem Prussia, with more
exhaustive thoroughness, with more pene-
trating insight, than any one had done be-
fore."— Deutsche Rundschau.
"Dr Busch's volume has made people
think and talk even more than usual of Prince
Bismarck, and Professor Seeley's very learned
work on Stein will turn attention to an earlier
and an almost equally eminent German states-
man. It is soothing to the national
self-respect to find a few Englishmen, such
as the late Mr Lewes and Professor Seeley,
doing for German as well as English readers
what many German scholars have done for
us." — Times.
" In a notice of this kind scantjustice can
be done to a work like the one before us: no
short risumi can give even the most meagre
notion of the contents of these volumes, which
contain no pa^e that is superfluous, and
none that is unmteresting To under-
stand the Germany of to-day one must study
the Germany of many yesterdays, and now
that study has been made easy by this work,
to which no one can hesitate to assign a very
high place among those recent histories which
have aimed at original research." — Athe-
futunt.
"The book before us fills an important
gap in English — nay, European — historical
literature, and bridges over the histonr of
Prussia from tite time of Frederick the Great
to the days of Kaiser Wilhelm. It thus gives
the reader standing gjound whence he may
regard contemporaiy events in Germany in
their proper historic light We con-
fratulate Cambridge and her Professor of
[istory on the appearance of such a note*
worthy production. And we may add that it
is sometning upon which we may congratulate
England that on the especial field of the Ger-
mans, history, on the history of their own
country, by the use of their own literary
weapons, an Englishman has produced a his-
tory of Germany in the Napoleonic age far
superior to any that exists -in German. "~<

'The general object of Mr Wordsworth's
book is sufficiently apparent from its title.
He has collected a great quantity of minute
and curious information about the working
of Cambridge institutions in the last century,
with an occasional comparison of the corre-
sponding state of things at Oxford. It is of
course impossible that a book of this kind
should be altogether entertaining as litera-
ture. To a great extent it is purely a book
of reference, and as such it will be of per-
manent value for the historical knowledge of
English education and learning. " — Saturday

"In the work before us, which is strictly what
it professes to be, an account of university stu-
dies, we obtain authentic information upon the
course and changes of philosophical thought
in this country, upon tne general estimation
of letters, upon the relations of doctrine and
science, upon the range and thoroug>mess ol
education, and we may add, upon the cat-
like tenadtv of life of ancient forms.... The
particulars Afr Wordsworth gives us in his
excellent arrangement are most varied, in-
teresting, and instructive. Among the mat-
ters touched upon are Libraries, Lectures,
the Tripos, the Trivium, the Senate House,
the Schools, text-books, subjects of study,
foreign opinions, interior life. We learn
even of ttie various University periodicals
that have had their day. And last, but not
leait, we are given in an appendix a highly
interesting series of private letters from a

a vivid idea of life as an imdergraduate and

better understood after a consideration of the
materials here collected.** — Acaatmy.

LECTURES ON TEACHING,
Delivered in the University of Cambridge in the Lent Term, 1880.
By J. G. Fitch, Her Majesty's Inspector of Schools.
Crown 8vo. cloth, dr.
"All who are interested in the manage-
ment of schools, and all who have made the
profession of a teacher the work of their lives,
will do well to study with care these results
of a large experience and of wide observa-
tion. It is not, we are told, a manual of
method; rather, we should say, it is that
and much more. As a manual of method
it is far su^ierior to anything we have seen.
Its suggestions of practical means and me*
thods are very valuable; but it has an ele-
ment which a mere text-book of rules for
imparting knowledge does not contain. Its
tone is lofty ; its spirit religious ; its ideal of
the teachers aim and life pure and good . . .
The volume is one of great practical value.
It should be in the hands of^ every teacher,
and of ^^VTf one preparing for the office of a
teacher. There are many besides these who
will find much in it to interest and instruct
them, more especially parents who have chil-
dren whom they can anbrd to keep at school
till their eighteenth or nineteenth year."—
The Nonconformist and Independent.
"In the sixteen chapters of which this
handsome volume is made up, teachers will
find a world of good advice from one who
has brought unusual fitness and unflagging
enthusiasm to the task of helping and en-
couraging them. The book contains the
results <M great experience, and the work
itself is an admiraole specimen of the art
of teaching. To a thoughtful teacher the
book will be invaluable . . . Mr Fitch
has written a book which all, and not merely
professional teachers interested in the train-
ing of the young, would do well to read . . ,
The writer has a noble conception of the
dienity and responsibility of the teacher and
of liis profession." — Sheffield and Rotkertuun
Independent.
"This book is the work of a man who is
thoroughly acquainted with the subject oX
which he treats, and who brings together for
its elucidation the results of wide reading,
careful study, and practical experience. We
can cordially recommend it to all who are
engaged in the work of teaching, or who
wish to understand the pinciples on which
it should be conducted. ' — The Cambridge

Book I. Price is, td.
*' In Mr Pretor's edition of the Anabanis the text of Kfihner has been followed in the main,
while the exhaustive and admirable notes of the great German editor have been largely utilised.
These notes deal with the minutest as well as the most important difficulties in construction, and
all questions of history, antiquity, and geography are briefly but very effectually elucidated."— Tilr

"Mr Pretor's 'Anabasis of Xenophon, Book IV.' displays a union of accurate Cambridge
scholarship, with experience of what is required by learners gained in examining mtddle<claaa
schools. The text is large and clearly printed, and the notes explain all difficulties. . . . Mr
Pretor's notes seem to be all that could be wished as regards gramnuu-, geography, and other
matters." — Tht Academy.
"Another Greek text, designed it would seem for students preparing for the local examinations,
is 'Xenophon's Anabasis,' Book II., with English Notes, by Alfred Pretor, M.A. The editor has
exercisea his usual discrimination in utilising the text and notes of Kuhner, with the occasional
assistance of the best hints of Schneider, Vollbrecht and Macmichael on critical matters, and of
Mr R. W. Taylor on points of history and geography. . . When Mr Pretor commits himself to
Commentator's work, he is eminently helpful. . . Had we to introduce a young Greek scholar
to Xenophon, we should esteem ourselves fortunate in having Pretor's text-book as our chart and
guide." — Contemporary Review,
