H. R. H. THE DUKE OF KENT IN CANADA IN 1791 (4th S. v. 533.)—The following work may be of service to MR. MACDONALD. It was published a few months ago by Hunter, Rose & Co., at Ottawa and Toronto, 8vo, pp. 241, and may perhaps be found at Trübner's, 12, Paternoster Row, London:

"The Life of F. M. H. R. H. Edward, Duke of Kent, illustrated by his Correspondence with the De Salaberry Family, never before published, extending from 1791 to 1814. By Dr. William James Anderson, L.R.C.S., Edinburgh, President of the Quebec Literary and Historical Society."

judiciously of the labours of preceding editors, he has, with great advantage to the students of Pope, brought his own critical powers to bear as much upon their judgments as upon the Poet's writings; so that his comments on the commentators are far from the least instructive portion of the volume. And this is saying much for a book which contains so many evidences of the pains which the late Mr. Croker bestowed in clearing up and illustrating passages which change of times and manners have rendered obscure, and which could only be explained by one thoroughly familiar with the literature of the time. Any of our readers who remember how much has been written in the attempt to identify the "Unfortunate Lady," who was the subject of Pope's elegy, will be

A paragraph in the "Introductory" is as fol- greatly amused with Mr. Elwin's introduction to that

lows:

"The Duke of Kent was an able and voluminous correspondent, and from the care with which his letters have been preserved he has unconsciously become his own biographer; but this biography has hitherto been confined to the limited circles of the families or friends of his correspondents, and the few of his letters which have been published in his Life, by the Rev. Erskine Neale, have only excited a desire to see more."

I have never met with Mr. Neale's work. Mr. Anderson does not elsewhere in his book refer to it more particularly than in the above paragraph, and it is not mentioned in either Watt's B. B. or Lowndes' Bibl. Manual.

As the prince-duke arrived at Quebec in August, 1791, in command of the 7th Royal Fusileers; in 1794 assisted in the reduction of the French West Indies, and was then appointed Commander of the Forces in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick; and in May, 1799, Commanderin-Chief of the Forces in British North America, in which command he continued until August, 1800,-MR. MACDONALD will probably find "the full details" he requires in the duke's official correspondence with the authorities at the Horse Guards, where I presume it is still preserved.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. The Works of Alexander Pope. New Edition, including several hundred unpublished Letters and other New Materials, collected in part by the late Right Hon. John Wilson Croker. With Introduction and Notes by the Rev. Whitwell Elwin. Vol. II. Poetry. With Portraits and other Illustrations. (Murray.)

If the admirers of Pope have had their patience sorely tried while waiting for this long-promised edition of his works, few of them but will confess that that patience has at length its reward in a collection of the poet's writings, which promises to leave little scope for the labours of future commentators or future editors. This new volume contains the "Essay on Criticism" followed "The Rape by "Warburton's Commentary and Notes," of the Lock" followed by the "First Edition" of it; "The Elegy to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady';" "Eloisa to Abelard;" the "Essay on Man;" and "The Universal Prayer," the two latter being accompanied by Warburton's Commentary and Notes. While, in the illustration of each of these poems Mr. Elwin has availed himself freely and

poem, in which, following up a hint first thrown out we believe by Mr. Dilke, he shows she was altogether an imaginary personage; and they will be as greatly pleased with the sound and vigorous criticism in which he has exposed the many false principles enunciated in it by Pope.

Select Letters of Pliny the Younger. Latin Text, with English Notes. Edited by A. J. Church, M.A. of Lincoln College, Oxford, and Head Master of the Royal Grammar School of King James I., Henley-on-Thames, and W. J. Brodribb, M.A., late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. (Longmans.)

This is a selection, amounting to about two-fifths, of the Epistles of Pliny the Younger, and arranged in the present form with a view to making them more accessible to classical students. The comparative oblivion into which these letters have fallen is the more strange,

considering that sometimes Pliny supplies missing links in the history of his friend Tacitus. Should this oblivion be removed, no small credit will be due to the editors of this volume, who, in order that it may serve as a classbook for the upper forms of schools, furnish each letter with an analysis, and point out such words and phrases as do not exactly belong to the Augustan age. Copious notes are likewise given at the end of the volume.

BOOKS RECEIVED.-Notices of the Jews by the Classic Writers of Antiquity, being a Collection of Facts and Opinions from the Works of Ancient Heathen Authors previous to A.D. 500, by John Gill. (Longmans.) These notices refer to the Exodus from Egypt; the Origin, Rites, Customs, and Peculiarities of the Jews; and Notices, Geographical and Military, extracted from about fifty various authors.-The Civil Service History of England, being a Fact-Book of English History arranged expressly for Examination Cundidates, Public Schools, and Students generally, by F. A. White, B.A.; Revised throughout and enlarged by H. A. Dobson. (Board of Trade.) (Lockwood.) Prepared by one gentleman of great experience in the preparation of candidates for the Civil Service, and revised by another, this forms a suitable companion to the Civil publishers.-The Service Geography issued by the same Half-crown Atlas of British History, by Keith Johnston, LL.D. (Johnston, Edinburgh.) Thirty-one maps, beautifully engraved, of these islands especially; but including Europe and the World generally at different important historical periods, made complete by an Index to all the places named in it, deserves to be widely circulated, and is published at a price which certainly admits of it.Dramatic Almanack for 1871, by J. W. Anson. This curious little year-book deserves a good word on two grounds: first, for the amount of amusing information connected with the Drama which it contains; secondly, because the profits from its sale will be given to the Dramatic Sick Fund, of which Mr. Anson, the editor, is the Honorary Secretary.

EDUCATIONAL BOOKS.-The editor of the Publishers' Circular has been collecting information with a view to issuing an index or catalogue, classified according to subjects, of school, college, technical and general educational works in use in Great Britain. So many returns have been already received from publishers, that it would take eight or ten pages, closely printed in three columns, to give the short titles of merely elementary publications which teach the English language. Instead, therefore, of a supplement to the periodical above-named it will be necessary to make the catalogue a distinct volume; it will not, as a general rule, include any work of which there has been no new edition within the last three years.

THE GERMANS OF THE FIRST AND NINETEENTH CENTURIES.-A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette writes from inside Paris; "The other night the bombardment was so noisy that I could not sleep, so I took Tacitus' De moribus et populis Germaniæ, as a 'lecture pleine d'actualité. I saw there some things which are to be observed to this very day; for instance, that they (the Germans) consider that to retreat, provided they return to the charge, is prudence, not cowardice.' The French are very much struck with this now, and are constantly taken in by the manoeuvre. Also Tacitus says that the Germans even in doubtful encounters carry off their dead. This is also true now."

ONLY a few days before his death the late Dean Alford revised the proof-sheet of his recent Advent Sermons (including the one preached before the Queen), which will be issued immediately in a small volume by Messrs. Hodder & Stoughton, entitled Truth and Trust: Lessons of the War.

A PERSIAN manuscript of great beauty, containing sixty full page miniature illuminations, and profusely ornamented throughout in gold and colours in the highest class of ancient art, was sold by Messrs. Puttick & Simpson, of Leicester Square, last Tuesday, for 2057.

THE next number of the Illustrated Review will be published on the 1st of February by Messrs. Houlston & Sons of Paternoster Row. The subject of the memoir and portrait will be John Ruskin, M.A. In future the Illustrated Review will be published on the 1st and 15th of the month instead of fortnightly.

THE CORPORATION RECORDS.-The second Report of the Library Committee contains much valuable information as to the records of London Bridge; the Chapel of St. Thomas, and the Fraternity or Brotherhood upon the Bridge; the Payments to the Officials connected with this edifice, and the Price of Materials provided for its repair; the Tolls charged upon Vessels passing through and Carts, &c. over the Bridge. Many of the deeds bear the seals of the earliest Mayors, such as Fitz Ailwyn, Serle le Mercer, Hardell, Renger, Basing, Ralph de Sandwich, &c. Some have the old City seal attached before its alteration in 1539, "When the Seale was alteryd and changed, and th' Armes of thys Cytye made yn the place of the sayd Thomas Bekket on the one syde, and on the other syde the Image of Saynt Powle." The Rolls of Payments commence in 1381. Some of the volumes have ornamental initial letters at the commencement of each chapter, and are in the original binding. The Corn Books, containing the account of the corn bought and stored in the Granaries of the City and the Companies at the Bridge House, explain the custom adopted to provision the city in time of scarcity. The documents relating to the Freedom of the City commence in 1681, and they contain much genealogical information. previous books were destroyed in the Great Fire. The Report concludes with several sensible and practical sug

The

gestions for the better preservation of these valuable archives, and there can be no doubt that the Court of Common Council will see the desirability of carrying these recommendations into effect.

MR. W. R. MORFITT, M.A., Oriel College, Oxford, has in the press a new work, "The Slaves," their ethnology, early history, and popular traditions, with some account of Slavonic literature, being the substance of a course of lectures delivered at Oxford.

THE Academy of France, which under other circumstances would have sat in Paris on the 31st ult., to distribute their great prizes, have postponed their assembly till the 31st of March.

JOHNSON CLUB.-The first Meeting of the Second Session of this Literary Society for the purpose of Current Literary Review, was held last night, Thursday, Jan. 26, at St. John's Gate, Clerkenwell. This Club has taken a room at this thoroughly Johnsonian Tavern for the purpose of holding its meetings.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS; pain

of rheumatism and gout, these soothing remedies will prove a perfect God-send. They lessen the inflammation and remove the exquisite sensibility of the nerves, when pain gradually ceases. The Ointment disperses all blotches or pimples which can spot the fairest skin, and renders it soft and silky. The pills root out all morbid matters, and relieve the system of all deteriorating influences, which haunt our daily lives, and make us miserable. They obtain and maintain the most robust health. Holloway's ointment and pills have been long commended for curing all sorts of sores, ulcers, inflammations, dyspeptic symptoms, flatulency, heartburn, and constipation. They constitute a complete materia medica in themselves.
