who are interested in the great preacher. It runs to nearly seventy pages, and deals with over four hundred items. About three-quarters of these are classified under separate subject-headings, and an index is given to all the titles and periodicals mentioned. There are, lastly, two chronological lists, the one of Whitefield's general works, the other of his sermons. Southey and Warburton have been competently tackled; and one of the best articles in the volume is that on the Parliamentary general Massey. Barnard of Tunbridge Wells (Catalogue 108) The earliest are two black-letter pamphlets of the year 1653, concerning the claims of the Irish Adventurers,' and the Arrears of Officers and Souldiers for the Settling and Planting of Ireland.' There are two connected with the Popish Plot in Ireland; several relating to political, industrial, and religious affairs at the beginning of the nineteenth century; a copy of "The Ulster Tragedy' and of Mackdermot's Ghost'; and eight examples of Dublin printing from 1725 to 1756, bound together in an octavo volume. Another good and lengthy entry is that under Hannah More, in which, however, we looked in vain for any mention of the Hannah More Hall at has, among other books on our subject, a copy of Mr James Commin of Exeter (Catalogue 323) Bristol, which seems in itself as well worth record-W. Carleton's Traits and Stories of the Irish ing as could be a chapter or paper about the author, Peasantry' (1864), 158., and O'Kelly's Macaria and besides must have been the occasion of a certain Excidium, or the Destruction of Cyprus; being a amount of journalistic writing which belongs to the Secret History of the War of the Revolution in subject of Hannah More's bibliography. memoir, by J. C. O'Callaghan (Dublin, 1850), 8s. 6d. Ireland,' edited, with notes, illustrations, and One or two of the modern items are somewhat more meagre than we might have expected. Thus there should have been some note of the two or three well-known books which Prof. Lloyd Morgan has to his name, and a note also of his late and his present positions in Bristol University; and it would have been just as well to give the married name of Amy Sedgwick. A slight notice of a person may sometimes prove not only of little use, but actually, by its very defects, misleading. However, as we began by observing, it is the modern notices which are thus in some places defective; justice on the whole has been done to the Gloucester worthies of the past. Subjoined to the main alphabet are a few pages of Addenda to Part I., a table of Persons and Families, and one of Localities, and an index of authors referred to. BOOKS ON IRELAND AND IRISH LITERATURE. ONE of the best books of Irish interest described in recent Catalogues is O'Hanlon's 'Lives of the Irish Saints,' which, in 10 vols., runs from January to October 21. This is to be found at Mr. Charles Higham's, and to be had for 61. (Cat. 544). Messrs. Heffer of Cambridge (Cat. 145) have several works worth attention on the part of students of the Irish language, thus:-Vols. I.-XVI. of the Publications of the Irish Texts Society, of which early volumes are exceedingly scarce (with the revised edition of Vol. III., the set comprises 17 vols., and is offered for 81. 18s. 6d.); Standish O'Grady's 'Silva Gadelica, a collection of tales in Irish, edited from MSS. and having translation appended, 2 vols., 31. 10s.; from the "Grimm Library Kuno Meyer's Voyage of Bran' (17. 118. 6d.), The Cuchullin Saga in Irish Literature,' stories compiled and edited, with Introduction and notes, by Eleanor Hull (17. 58.), and L. W. Faraday's Cattle Raid of Cualnge.' 15s.; some half score monographs by Kuno Meyer Wood-Martin's two books on pre-Christian Ireland, and a goodly number of others. In the way of modern Irish literature we noticed that Mr. Horace Commin of Bournemouth (Cat. 58) has a copy of the collected works of W. B. Yeats in 8 vols. (1908), of which the price is 27. 178. 6d. The political and social works relating to Ireland are fairly numerous, and among them not the least interesting are the tracts described by Mr. P. M. Mr. Murphy of Liverpool (Catalogue 205) has a copy of Henry Grattan's Speeches,' in 4 vols., edited by Grattan's son (1822), 17. 18.; and also four or five good Irish pamphlets of the turn of the seventeenth to the eighteenth century. Other works of which we made a note are Correspondence of W. Pitt and C., Duke of Rutland' (1842), 48., in the Catalogue (357) of William George's Sons of Bristol; and a copy of Vindicia Hibernicæ (Philadelphia, 1819), offered for 3s. 6d. in that of Mr. J. Thomson of Edinburgh.' The Athenæum now appearing monthly, arrangements have been made whereby advertisements of posts vacant and wanted, which it is desired to publish weekly, may appear in the intervening weeks in 'N. & Q.' Notices to Correspondents. ON all communications must be written the name and address of the sender, not necessarily for pub lication, but as a guarantee of good faith. We cannot undertake to answer queries privately, nor can we advise correspondents as to the value of old books and other objects or as to the means of disposing of them. CORRESPONDENTS who send letters to be forwarded to other contributors should put on the top lefthand corner of their envelopes the number of the page of N. & Q.' to which their letters refer, so that the contributor may be readily identified.
