question whether anything would ever carry a stranger

A Memorial of the Cambridge Camden Society. By
E. J. Boyce, M.A. (Cambridge, Deighton, Bell,
Co.; London, Bell & Sons.)

quisite is the execution of some of the vignettes, initial letters, &c., and the work, which is limited in number, will some day-an unusual fate for serials-be looked after as a gem. Carmarthenshire Notes. Vol. I. Part II. Edited by Arthur Mee, F.R.A.S. (Llanelly, South Wales Press Office.) Ir is difficult to speak of a part ii. without having seen part i. But so far as we can judge from the part before &us, Mr. Mee seems likely to do a good work by gathering together flotsam and jetsam, which might otherwise perish, but the preservation of which in these handy little parts is matter for congratulation to all who are interested in the history and antiquities of Wales. The contributors include Mr. W. D. Pink, who, as well as Mr. Edwin Poole, investigates the history of Carmarthenshire Members of Parliament; Mr. W. H. Ludford, Mr. Stedman Thomas, "Giraldus," and others, besides the editor himself. The Rebecca Riots,' "The Diary of Laud as Bishop of St. David's,'' Genealogical Notes on Admiral Foley,' 'Jones of Abermarlais, &c., are among the varied contents of part ii, of Carmarthenshire Notes.

THE Cambridge Camden Society, whose story is here graphically told by one of the founders of that goodly and well known company which developed from the Ecclesiological Society, has a story worth the telling. The sentence from Newman's sermons printed on the cover and title-page is in itself a memorial of the society. "One or two men of small outward pretensions, but with their hearts in their work-these do great things." And in their special line, that of reviving a love for and a knowledge of the principles of Gothic ecclesiastical art, the "one or two men who met together at Cambridge to exchange their thoughts on this subject during the academic year 1837-8. really did "great things." Neale (of East Grinstead), Webb (of St. Andrew's, Wells Street), Venables, Harvey Goodwin, Paley, Eddis-these and others among the earliest members would alone be a roll of names sufficient to make a society famous. Not a few of this interesting group have joined the majority, but some yet remain to us, and that, too, as honoured contributors to the columns of N. & Q.' It is hardly possible to turn over a page of the lists of early officers and members which Mr. Boyce's zeal and knowledge have enabled him to put before us, without coming upon names which must always be held in high esteem in letters, arts, law, and literature. We should have lost much if Mr. Boyce had not published his 'Memorial.'

WE have received the first volume, July to December, 1889, of the Newbery House Magazine (Griffith, Farran & Co.). During the short time in which it has appeared this excellent publication has, we are in a position to state, taken a strong hold on the public. No work of its class makes more direct appeal to the youngest 'school of the English clergy and its supporters. Its interest, moreover, is not confined to these.

Notices to Correspondents.

We must call special attention to the following notices: ON all communications must be written the name and address of the sender, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith.

WE cannot undertake to answer queries privately.

Octave Uzanne is editor, and a portrait of his very Romanlooking head is the first of the illustrations hors texte which the number boasts. After a pleasing and original 'Acte de Naissance en guise de Presentation,' and an explanatory address, Nos Variations Futures,' both signed with the initials O. U., come some short and brilliantly illustrated Notes et Souvenirs' of Champfleury. Quite inimitable are the caricatures. Les Lectrices a travers les Ages' is an exquisite design of fantasy of which any eighteenth century designer might be proud. It has an accompanying rondeau, an unpublished autograph of Jean Richepin. A fifth article is 'Au Pays des Autographes,' and supplies some curious dedications of books-an interesting subject-and some early letters of Monselet. Bibliographie-express is the title of the portion of the work devoted to reviewing. This is followed by Curiosa,' pages of Notules,' 'Singularités Trouvailles,' Observations Bibliographiques' not wholly unlike N. & Q. An account of the first dinner of the Société des Bibliophiles Contemporains is given, and other miscellaneous contents follow. In saying that the new publication is an advance on the old we give it high praise. It is the freshest, the most elegant, and the most delightful work in the shape of a serial that ever appealed to the bibliophile. Quite ex

Holloway's Pills are composed of rare balsams, unmixed with baser matter, and on that account are peculiarly well adapted for the young, delicate, and aged. As this peerless medicine has gained fame in the past, so will it preserve it in the future by its renovating and invigorating qualities, and its incapacity of doing harm.

Edited by ANNIE RAINE ELLIS.

"Mrs. Ellis, who has produced the best recent editions of Evelina 'and' Cecilia,' has expended no small amount of labour on the production of Fanny Burney's 'Early Diary,' which is now printed for the first time. That it should have been so long retained in manuscript is surprising, for it almost vies in interest with the well-known diary which begins with the date at which these earlier pages end. It is a work deserving all the care Mrs. Eilis has bestowed upon it."—Athenæum.
