Royal Academy Schools, and gave him opportunities for studying classical art. He exhibited a great many times at the Royal Academy, but his work was always somewhat hard and formal, especially in his subject pictures. His best productions were landscapes of Cumberland or Westmorland, especially of his own country, for the scenery of which he had a peculiar affection. He possessed some small means of his own, and was a very abstemious and retiring man. He was a member of the Society of Friends, and in his own place very influential, but hardly known outside the limits of that Society. He spent little time in London, quickly returning to Cumberland, where he lived quietly for nearly forty years, and died in 1879. Llewellynn Jewitt wrote his Life in 1882."

opposite came a flood of harmony, such as, one would have thought, could be in the experience of few but the nocturnal naturalist, for there must have been a large colony of them, not one of whom could get a word in edgeways." There was certainly no melancholy there, and nothing to suggest death. J. HOLDEN MACMICHAEL.

Gilbert White in a letter to the Hon. Daines Barrington, No. xxvii., says: "Nightingale, Luscina, sings first in April: usually silent middle of June." It may have been in song till the 21st of that month if it was a late season. JOHN P. STILWELL.

To the Nightingale and Robin Redbreast.
When I departed am, ring thou my knell,
Thou pittifull and pretty Philomel :
And when I'm laid out for a corse, then be

Routledge, 3rd ed., 1887, p. 89. But is not this melancholy an unfounded attribute of the nightingale ? or is the belief founded on the story of Philomela and Tereus ? The Thracians say that the nightingales which build their nests about the sepulchre of Orpheus sing sweeter and louder than others of their tribe (see note to verse 21, bk. vi., of Southey's 'Thalaba,' Longman, 1847, p. 266*); and in Nathaniel Lee's Theodosius' the prima donna of bird-song

With piercing moan does her lost young bewail;
Which the rough hind observing, as they lay
Warm in their downy nest, had stol'n away:
But she in mournful sounds does still complain,
Sings all the night, tho' all her songs are vain,
And still renews her miserable strain.

BARTON GRAMMAR SCHOOL, WESTMORLAND (10 S. vii. 488).—One Rev. Thomas Myers was vicar of Stannington, Northumberland, from 1815 to 1845. One Rev. Henry Thompson was perpetual curate of Garsdale, near Kendal, from 1838 to about 1880.

One Rev. Henry Thompson was head master of Cartmel Grammar School from before 1824 to about 1868. Baines's 'Lancashire,' vol. i. p. 594, gives an account of this school, and says that "the present head master is the Rev.

NOTES ON BOOKS, &c.

Beowulf. Translated and Edited by Wentworth Huyshe. (Routledge & Sons.)

THIS popular edition of our earliest English epic, the morning star of the noblest literature the world has seen, is a welcome addition to Messrs. Routledge's excellent half-crown_series of our native classics. We can congratulate Mr. Huyshe on having achieved a distinct success in an undertaking which all who have read the 'Beowulf' will admit is no easy one-to give a close and intelligible rendering of a poem which is often disconnected, being loosely strung together on a slender thread of unity, and abounding in those obscure poetical phrases, known as "kennings" in Icelandic literature, which are remote from our modern modes of expression. The translator has very happily surmounted these difficulties, and, what is more, has succeeded in preserving a large measure of the spirit of the original, which is full of the freshness and mystery of the sea.

The value of the version is much enhanced by a judicious selection of illustrations taken from the Northern museums, which really do illustrate the allusions to arms and antiquities which occur in the poem; they give actuality to the story, and enable the reader to visualize what the semibarbarous life of our forefathers must have been like. Many of the objects depicted were disinterred in the very regions from which these old seawarriors sallied forth, such as the Thorsberg Moss in Sleswig and Uby in Denmark.

The explanatory notes in which the editor discusses the difficulties of the text and the local allusions are much to the point. But one sin of omission we have to complain of, where we naturally look for some illumination. He has not a word to say as to the origin, meaning, and character of that mysterious being Grendel-half demon, half dragon-which looms largely through the story. Though much has been written about the monster, its name still awaits a satisfactory explanation. We may perhaps trace a reference to it on a Runic monument where a mounted champion is depicted destroying a dragon, with the inscription, "Behold a mighty king here graven who slew this dragon" (Prof. G. Stevens, The Runic Hall,' p. 17). We much doubt Mr. Huyshe's interpretation of waeg-sweord (1. 1488) as a sword with a "wavy" pattern damascened upon its blade. Perhaps it only means a sword that is swung or brandished (ensis versatilis or vibratus). We can recommend the book to all who love their mothertongue.

The Burlington Magazine for July opens with a charming photogravure, 'Evening on the Lake,' by Corot, in which the trees are very characteristic. An editorial article is devoted to 'The Progress of American Collecting,' and points out that in supreme Italian works and the no less rare primitive masters, as well as in later masters, Europe holds, and will retain, the precedence. The Case for Modern Painting' is illustrated by a 'Mother and Child' of Mr. Ambrose McEvoy, an admirable picture shown at the New English Art Club. Dr. R. F. Burckhardt deals with some little gems of boxwood modelling by Hans Wydyz the Elder, who

was working at Basel in 1505, and later in Central Bavaria. The Cottage,' by F. W. Watts, which is reproduced, is a delightful picture of English scenery; it is in the Louvre, where it was attributed to Constable. Another portrait reproduced in colour, of an unknown man by Bartolommeo Veneto, has real distinction about it. Nothing is more striking in the history of art than the modern discovery of lesser masters whose work has borne the names of greater men. It is generally fine enough to stand on its own merits. Prince Duleep Singh clears up some uncertainty concerning Nathaniel Bacon, artist. Prof. Holmes has an interesting article concerning the question, 'Where did Michelangelo learn to Paint and Mr. Cyril Davenport writes on The Book Ciphers of Henri II.,' which are confused by the fact that the King as Dauphin adopted a D in his cipher, which was also used by Diane de Poitiers. There are many other notable things in this excellent magazine, which has now won an enviable position as an expert record of all that concerns art.

Under

William III. is a collection of contemporary engravings by De Hooghe, 12. 128.

Mr. H. Seers in his Catalogue 81 offers eleven hundred items at a shilling each. For this small sum we have the choice of a visit to Utopia or to take Charles Lamb in pipefuls, or we may find a complete English lawyer, or look into Edinburgh one hundred years ago; or, should we prefer it, we can take a dose of proverbial philosophy, and, as a wind up, find an antidote to the miseries of human life.

Messrs. Henry Sotheran & Co.'s Price Current 673 contains over 1,200 items, of which we can note but a few. Amory's Life of John Buncle,' best edition, 3 vols., calf gilt, 1825, is 17. 18. Of John Buncle' Hazlitt wrote: " John Buncle is the English Rabelais." "The Annual Register,' 1758-1883, is 16. 16s.; Matthew Arnold's Complete Works, Edition de Luxe (only 775 sets issued), 6.; and a set of first editions (save three), 21.; complete set of Ballad Society's Publications, 12. 128.; Balzac's "Comédie Humaine,' translated by Katharine Wormeley, Edition de Luxe (only 250 sets), 1898, 167. 168.; first edition of Gilchrist's 'Blake,' 2. 2s.; Bowman and Crowther's Churches of the Middle Ages, 2 vols., imperial folio, 1849, 57.; a fine and complete set of Britton, 14 vols., royal 4to, in 7, large paper, 1814-35, 107. 10s.; Bullen's Old Eng; lish Plays,' New Series, 3 vols., 4to, 5l. 15s.; and Richard Burton's Chapbooks, 25 vols., 18mo, 16821781, 61. 68.

Searchers for Dickens rarities will find a choice copy in the original parts, of Master Humphrey's Clock,' 7. 78.; and another copy with Sibson's illustrations, 3 vols., newly bound in purple morocco, 14/. 148. The catalogue is also rich in entries under Shakesperiana (among these are treasures from Mr. Ebsworth's library), Scott, Scotland, Shelley, &c. The Shelley items include the edition of Queen Mab' which contains the dedication to Harriet to which Shelley referred in a letter complaining of the surreptitious issue of the poems by R. Carlile: "I am obliged to this piratical fellow in one respect, that he has omitted, with a delicacy for which I thank him heartily, a foolish dedication to my late wife, the publication of which would have annoyed me, and, indeed, is the only part of the business which could have annoyed me, although it is my duty to protest against the whole." We take this opportunity to remark upon the care and method with which Messrs. Sotheran's Price Currents are prepared. We have studied them for very many years, and can speak of the pleasure the perusal of them has always afforded us. We believe we are violating no confidence in stating that for the last twenty-six years they have been the work of the present head of the firm, Mr. Henry Cecil Sotheran, who inherits from his father and grandfather, both of whom were well known to us, his taste for books.

Mr. Albert Sutton, of Manchester, includes in his Catalogue 153 Alken's coloured panorama (67 feet long) of the funeral procession of the Duke of Wellington, which depicts with correct detail a soldier from every regiment in the service, Ackermann, 1853, 41. 48. Spedding's Bacon,' 7 vols., is 21. 10s.; and a complete set of the Reports of the Challenger Expedition, 50 vols., 1880-95, 37. 10s. Essays and Reviews,' 1861, 18. (published at 16s.),

is the lowest price we have yet seen.

Trials include those of the Earl of Somerset, Fauntleroy, and William Palmer.

There are a large number of works under Angling and other Sports, under Botany, and also General Literature. Mr. Wilfrid M. Voynich's Catalogue 23, like all he publishes, is full of scarce books. No work by this author in Lowndes" must be "kept standing by his printers. We note a few items. A pamphlet entitled 'The Great Importance of Cape Breton,' contains all that Charlevoix says in his History of New France,' and has a folding map which includes part of Newfoundland, &c., 1746, 30%. In A Guide for the Freeholders of Great Britain,' 1771, 67. 6s., the author proposes an American representation: 2 members for Newfoundland, 2 for Canada, 2 for Nova Scotia, 4 for New England and New York, 6 for the Indian nations, 2 for East and and West Jerseys, 2 for Pennsylvania, &c. Another pamphlet is The Vindication of Major-General Shirley, Governor of Massachusetts Bay,' 1758, 107. 10s. One of the rarest early books relating to the discovery of America is 'Joannis de Sacrobosco Astronomi celeberrimi Sphericum Opusculum, cum lucida & familiari expositione per Matthæum Shamotuliensem,' 1522, 100. There is also one of the few books published by the Stationers at the sign of the Trinity in St. Paul's Churchyard, Richard Rolle's Speculum Spiritualium,' Wolfgang Hopyl, for Guilhelmus Bretton of London, Paris, 1518, 207. There are many items under French and Italian Early Presses, Philology, Shakespeariana, Spanish and Portuguese Literature, &c.

Mr. D. S. Wrycroft, of St. Neots, has two short lists, 10 and 11. We note Mac Kinnon's 'Coldstream Guards,' 108.; Southey's Poetical Works, 10 vols., 12s. 6d.; Gore's Lux Mundi,'68.; Knight's Life of Erasmus,' 1726, 13s. 6d.; and Winkle's Cathedrals,' 17. 18.
