Is this the work published at New York in 1840? I suppose so: at least, if "Prof. Noah" has been reproducing the Bristol Book of Jasher (1829), he can claim but little of the justice and perfectness of his great namesake. A. A. D. Stearne's (not Hearne's) Confirmation and Discovery of Witchcraft (Vol. v., p. 416.).—Of this tract, inquired after by MR. CLARKE, and which is certainly one of the most extraordinary of all the treatises on Witchcraft, the only copy I ever saw is the one I possess, and which I have fully described in the notes to Pott's Discovery of Witches, printed for the Chetham Society, P. 4. The Rev. Author was no theorist, but a thoroughly practical man; having been an agent in finding and bringing to justice 200 witches in the eastern counties. He has the subject so perfectly at his fingers' ends, and discusses it so scientifically, that Hopkins sinks into insignificance by the side of him. Pity it is that such a philanthropic individual should have had occasion to complain: "In many places I never received penny as yet, nor any am like, except that I should sue!!" It is singular that, whereas, as in other foundations, the Feast of the Holy Innocents was appointed for the mummeries of the Boy Bishop at Winchester by the founder, it was forbidden at Eton and King's, although the statutes of the latter were borrowed almost literally from those of Wykeham. It would therefore appear that there was some local reason for the exception. MACKENZIE WALCOTT, M.A. Plague Stones-Mr. Mompesson (Vol. v., p.571.). recorded in "N. & Q." respecting so eminently - I should be sorry that anything inaccurate was worthy a person as the Rev. William Mompesson, Rector of Eyam during the time that it was scourged by the plague in 1666, when, out of a Mr. M. himself did not fall a victim, as J. G. C. population of only 330, 259 died of the disorder. states; but his wife did, and her tomb remains to this day. He was, indeed, an ornament to his in the hour of their visitation, but he obtained such sacred profession. He not only stood by his flock an influence during the panic that they entirely deferred to his judgment, and remained, as he adJAS. CROSSLEY.vised, within the village. He preached to them on Sundays in the open air from a sort of natural pulpit in the rock, now called Cucklet Church; and he established the water troughs, or plague stones, into which the people dropped their money, in payment for the victuals that were brought to them from the surrounding country. When in reward for his devotedness the Deanery of Lincoln was offered him, he generously declined it in Lines on Chaucer (Vol. v., p. 536.). — The lines should be quoted : "Britain's first poet, Swan-like, in dying Sung his last song When at his heart-strings They are taken from Hymn cxxiii. of Hymns favour of his friend Dr. Fuller, author of the and Anthems, London, C.

Boy Bishop at Eton (Vol. v., p. 557.). - The festival of St. Hugh, Bishop (Pontificis) of Lincoln, was kept on November 17. For "Nihilensis," in the "Consuetudinarium Etonense," should be read "Nicolatensis," as it stands in a Compatus of Winchester College, of the date 1461: the Boy Bishop assuming his title on St. Nicholas' Day, Dec. 6, and then performing his parody of Divine Offices for the first time; St. Nicholas of Myra being, according to the legend, the patron of children. Worthies of England, who thus obtained the appointment. Mr. Mompesson was subsequently presented to the living of Eakring in Notts, where he died in 1708. There has recently been discovered on the moor near Fullwood, by Sheffield, a chalybeate spring, which flows into a small covered recess formed of ashlar stone, and this stands just as it did when the wretched inhabitants of Eyam, believing the water to have sanatory virtues, came to drink of it, until a watch was placed on the spot by the Sheffield people, and they were driven back to ALFRED GATTY. their infected homes. Raleigh's Ring (Vol. v., p. 538.). - Sir Walter Raleigh's ring, which he wore at the time of his execution, is, I believe, in the possession of Capt. Edward James Blanckley, of the 6th Foot, now serving at the Cape of Good Hope. It is an heirloom in the Blanckley family, of which Captain Blanckley is the senior representative, who are directly descended from Sir Walter, and have in their possession several interesting relics of their great ancestor, viz. a curious tea-pot, and a state paper box of iron gilt and red velvet. A DESCENDANT OF SIR WALTER'S. - Pandecte, an entire Copy of the Bible (Vol. v., p. 557.). Your correspondent C. H. has noticed this word; I send you a short account of the Irish MSS. in the Bodleian Library, which I laid some time ago before the Royal Irish Academy, and which is printed in their Proceedings, vol. v. p. 162. I have there noticed a curious work by Oengus Cele De, or Oengus the Culdee, a writer of the eighth century, in which the word Pandecte (or, as the Irish scribe spells it, Pantecte) is used in the same sense as that in which Alcuin employs it, for the Bibliotheca, or Bible of St. Jerome. I have marked the passage, pp. 9, 10. of the enclosed which if you think it worth while paper, you may insert. But perhaps it may be enough to refer your readers to the above-mentioned volume of the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy. JAS. H. TODD. Trin. Coll. Dublin. Miscellaneous. NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. If among the writers of the present day there is one whose opinion with regard to Robin Hood and the cycle of ballads of which that renowned outlaw is the hero would be looked for with anxiety and received with respect, it is the Rev. Joseph Hunter, a gentleman in whom are happily combined that thorough historical and antiquarian knowledge, and that sound poetic taste which are required to do justice to so interesting a theme. The announcement, therefore, that the fourth of Mr. Hunter's Critical and Historical Tracts is entitled The Great Hero of the Ancient Minstrelsy of England, Robin Hood. His Period, real Character, &c., investigated, and perhaps ascertained, will be received with welcome by all who rejoice "that the world was very guilty of such ballads some three ages since," and who, loving them and their hero, would fain know something of the history on which they are founded. Mr. Hunter dissents, and we think rightly, from two popular and recent theories upon the subject, the one, that which elevates Robin Hood into the chief of a small body of Saxons impatient of their subjection to the Norman rule; the other, that which reduces him to one among the "personages of the early mythology of the Teutonic people." Mr. Hunter, on the other hand, identifies him with one "Robyn Hood" who entered the service of Edward II. a little before Christmas 1323, and continued therein somewhat less than a twelvemonth: "Alas then said good Robyn, If I dwele longer with the kynge and the evidence which he adduces in favour of our popular hero having been one of the Contrariantes of the reign of the Second Edward; and the coincidences which he points out between the minstrel testimony of the Little Geste and the testimony of records of different kinds and lying in different places, will, we are sure, be read with great interest even by those who may not think that our author has quite succeeded in unmasking the "Junius" of those olden times. Richmondshire, its Ancient Lords and Edifices: a Concise Guide to the Localities of Interest to the Tourist and Antiquary; with short Notes of Memorable Men, by W. Hylton Longstaffe, is a pleasant, chatty, and amusing guide to a beautiful locality, which the author describes as "the capital of a land whose riches of romance are scarcely exceeded by any other in England, the chosen seat of its own Earls, the Scropes, Fitzhughs, Marmions; and those setters up and pullers down of kings, the richest, noblest, and most prudent race of the North, the lordly Nevilles:" and which as such may well tempt the tourist and antiquary to visit it during the coming autumn. Those who do will find Mr. Longstaffe's little volume a pleasant companion. BOOKS RECEIVED. - The second volume of Charlotte A. Eaton's Rome in the Nineteenth Century, containing a Complete Account of the Ruins of the Ancient City, the Remains of the Middle Ages, and the Monuments of Modern Times, which completes this lady's excellent guide to the Eternal City.-The second volume of Miss Thomasina Ross's well-executed translation of Humboldt's Personal Narrative of Travels to the Equinoctial Regions of America during the Years 1799-1804, is the new volume of Bohn's Scientific Library.-The Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature; to which are added Two Brief Dissertations; on Personal Identity, and on the Nature of Virtue; and Fifteen Sermons, by Joseph Butler, D.

It is a reprint of Bishop Halifax's Standard Edition, with the addition of Analytical Introductions, and Notes by a Member of the University of Oxford; and we have no doubt will be found a really useful popular edition, such as may allure to the careful study of one of the best works in our language those minds which, without such help, might shrink from the task.

A MANUAL OF ECCLESI ASTICAL HISTORY, from the First to the Twelfth Century inclusive. By the Rev. E. S. FOULKES. M.A., Fellow and Tutor of Jesus College, Oxford. The main plan of the work has been borrowed from Spanheim, a learned, though certainly not unbiassed, writer of the seventeenth century: the matter compiled from Spondanus and Spanheim, Mosheim and Fleury, Gieseler and Döllinger, and others, who have been used too often to be specified, unless when reference to them appeared desirable for the benefit of the reader. Yet I believe I have never once trusted to them on a point involving controversy, without examining their authorities. The one object that I have had before me has been to condense facts, without either garbling or omitting any that should be noticed in a work like the present, and to give a fair and impartial view of the whole state of the case.Preface. "An epitomist of Church History has a task of no ordinary greatness.... He must combine the rich faculties of condensation and analysis, of judgment in the selection of materials, and calmness in the expression of opinions, with that most excellent gift of faith, so especially precious to Church historians, which implies a love for the Catholic cause, a reverence for its saintly champions, an abhorrence of the misdeeds which have defiled it, and a coufidence that its truth is great, and will prevail. "And among other qualifications which may justly be attributed to the author of the work before us, this list and highest is particularly observable. He writes in a spirit of manly faith, and is not afraid of facing the horrors and uncertainties,' which, to use his own words, are to be found in Church history.".

"There cannot be the slightest doubt that, upon the whole, it is one of the most learned as well as one of the most admirable contributions that have been made to philology in this country since the Hermes' of Harris, and the Diversions of Purley' by Horne Tooke." - Observer. "Dr. Roget's Thesaurus' will be found a most useful supplement to our ordinary English dictionaries. Its value will be most recognised by those who are best acquainted with the language, and best practised in its use. The mere arrangement of the groups of words, unaccompanied by definitions, suzgests often various ideas associated with the different expressions. In such practical operation as translation from a foreign language, the utility of such a Thesaurus is obvious."-Literary Ga zette. "The man who in writing cannot find the fit word to express a thought, may, if it please him, take down Dr. Roget's Thesaurus, look for the class containing any word of similar idea, and there he will find a miscellaneous collection, as complete as the compiler could make it, of words and phrases from which he may employ his tact to pick the syllables that suit him best. The practical employer of the book will be directed to the object of his search by a full Synopsis of Categories at the beginning, or a very ample alphabetical index of words placed at the end, occupying 170 threecolumned pages. The philosophic student of the English language may undoubtedly pick up many ideas from the grouping of our words and vulgarisms here attempted, and attempted with a great deal of success."-- Examiner.

"The revelations made by such writers as Mr. Meyrick in Spain and Mr. Gladstone in Italy, have at least vindicated for the Church of England a providential and morally defined position, mission, and purpose in the Catholic Church."-Morning Chronicle. "Two valuable works... to the truthfulness of which we are glad to add our own testimony one, and the most important, is Mr. Meyrick's Practical Working of the Church of Spain. This is the experience- and it is the experience of every Spanish traveller-of a thoughtful person, as to the lamentable results of unchecked Romanism. Here is the solid substantial fact. Spain is divided between ultra-infidelity and what is so closely akin to actual idolatry, that it can only be controversially, not practically, distinguished from it: and over all hangs a lurid cloud of systematic immorality, simply frightful to contemplate. We can offer a direct, and even personal, testimony to all that Mr. Meyrick has to say." Christian Remembrancer. "I wish to recommend it strongly."-T. K. Arnold's Theological Critic. "Many passing travellers have thrown more or less light upon the state of Romanism and Christianity in Spain, according to their objects and opportunities; but we suspect these workings' are the fullest, the most natural, and the most trustworthy, of anything that has appeared upon the subject since the time of Blanco White's Confessions."- Spectator. "This honest exposition of the practical working of Romanism in Spain, of its everyday effects, not its canons and theories, deserves the careful study of all, who, unable to test the question abroad, are dazzled by the distant mirage with which the Vatican mocks many a yearning soul that thirsts after water-brooks pure and full."- Literary Gazette.
