notes to which, whether they deign to notice the absurd fable or not, no doubt amply refute it by descriptions of the ancient inauguration-ceremonies of Tyrconnell and other territories from authentic Irish MSS., I send you the remarks made upon it in the " insigne sed insanum opus" of Dr. Keating, as translated by Halliday; the author's long preface to the history, from which the following extract is taken, deserving the former but not the latter qualification: "This," says Keating, when he has repeated the bathing-in-broth story, " is evidently an impudent fiction of CAMBRENSIS, for the annals of Ireland expressly mention, that the ceremony of inaugurating the kings of Tirconnell was this; the king being seated on an eminence (the Rock of Kilmacrennan) surrounded by the nobility and gentry (i inease uasal agus oireachta) of his own country, one of the chiefs of his nobles stood before him with a straight white wand in his hand, and on presenting it to the king of Tirconnell, used to desire him to receive the sovereignty of his country, and to preserve equal and impartial justice in every part of his dominions; the reason that the wand was straight and white, was to put him in mind that he should be unbiassed in his judgment, and pure and upright in all his actions." - Halliday's Keating, Preface, p. xxxiii, MAC AN BHAIRD. Hoax on Sir Walter Scott (Vol. v., p. 438.). A ballad, written in 1824 by the present Vicar of Morwenstow, adapted to the legendary chorus of "Twenty thousand Cornish men will know the reason why," was hailed by Sir hart's Life) as a "spirited ballad of the seventeenth century!" Philadelphia, U.S. A., June 5, 1852. Spanish Vessels wrecked on the Coast of Ireland (Vol. v., pp. 491.598.). On the magnificent ironbound coast of Miltown Malbay, in the west of Ireland, is a point running out into the sea called "Spanish Point," on which one at least, if not more, of the ships belonging to the Spanish armada was wrecked. Some of the peasantry also had ancient carved coffers and chests in their houses, which had been handed down from father to son, and which had been saved from the wreck; and there were traditions that many objects of value might have been found which had been derived from the same source; but as more than twenty years have elapsed since I was in that country, I cannot say whether any now remain to reward the inquiries of antiquaries. PEREDUR. Suicides buried in Cross Roads (Vol. iv., p. 116.). -In Plato's Laws (Burges' transl., book ix. c. 12.) the murderer of any of his near kin, after being put to death, is to be "cast out of the city, naked, in an appointed place where three roads meet; and let all the magistrates, in behalf of the whole state, carry each a stone, and hurl it at the head of the dead body," &c. J. P. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell (Vol. v., p. 394.). Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell formerly resided in this of New York. She city; she now lives in the city Walter (see Lock R. S. H. American Loyalists (Vol. iv., p. 165.). - А. С. will find the best information in regard to the history of the American loyalists, after the American Revolution, in "The American Loyalists, or Biographical Sketches of Adherents to the British Crown in the War of the Revolution. By Lorenzo Sabine. Boston, Mass. Charles C. Little and James Brown, Publishers, 1847. 738 pp." In this work Mr. Sabine has recorded the names of about six hundred loyalists (called in this country Tories), with such circumstances connected with their lives, after their declared adherence to the British cause, as he was able to glean. A. C. is very much mistaken in supposing that the loyalists "prospered in the world after the confiscation of their property." Their estates in this country were very generally forfeited, and the remunerations they received from the Crown were mere pittances in comparison to the amounts of their real sacrifices. Their letters to this country, after their flight to England, are filled with complaints of the coldness with which their attachment to the king was repaid by the ministry. Many of them died in want, and others, accepting the small donations accorded to them after weary years of waiting, learned bitterly the determined to study medicine some years since, in order to fit herself for practice. She had considerable difficulty in obtaining admission as a medical student, but was finally entered at Geneva Medical College, New York, where she graduated in 1849. She afterwards went to London and Paris. These are about all the particulars in reference to this lady which have been made public in this country. In consequence of her example, the subject of educating females as doctors was much discussed in the United States. The propriety of employing them in obstetrical cases, and many complaints to which females are subject, has in its favour common sense and decency, and against it nought but professional prejudice. In this state a college for the instruction of females was chartered in 1849; it is called "The Female Medical College of Pennsylvania." At the last commencement eight young ladies received their diplomas. There are fifty-two students entered for the next course, commencing in September of this year. There are eight professorships in this institution, which are at present filled by men, but which will be awarded to female professors as soon as experience will fit the graduates for them. The demonstrator of anatomy, Hannah E. Longshore, is a graduate. The prospects of the institution are favourable, Philadelphia, U. S. A., June 5, 1852. American Degrees (Vol. v., p. 177.).-Collegiate honours in the United States are generally conferred by the trustees of the institutions, with the advice and consent of the professors. If J. W. had stated what college conferred the "cargo of diplomas" he speaks of, some estimate might be made of the value of the honours. This is acknowledged (by ourselves) to be "a great country," comprising in its area 2,280,000 square miles. We have colleges and seminaries of learning authorised to confer the degrees in nearly all the states. Some of them will compare with the best European colleges in the reputation, and skill, and learning of the professors; and some are but little better than large-sized boarding-schools. The oldest institutions, and the best among us, are Harvard University in Massachusetts, Yale College in Connecticut, Princeton College in New Jersey, the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia, an 1 Virginia University at Charlottesburg. There are others of equal reputation, and many of second, third, and even fourth-rate importance. It is very probable that the "cargo" sent to the Brougham Institute of Liverpool emanated from an inferior institution, as our firstclass universities do not usually confer many honorary degrees. Philadelphia, U. S. A., Feb. 5, 1852. T. WESTCOTт. "Possession is nine points of the law" (Vol. iv., p. 23.). - In Swift's Works, vol. xvii. p. 270., I find "Possession, they say, is eleven points of the law." J. P. Age of Trees (Vol. iv., pp. 401.488.). - Allow me, in addition to my former communication on this subject, to give the following instances of trees proved to have existed many years. Near Mont Blanc there is a fir-tree called by the inhabitants of that district the Chamois Stable, on account of its affording shelter to the wild goats during the winter. Its vegetation is extremely beautiful, and its trunk enormous, which, coupled with the fact that it has been ascertained by M. Berthelet to be more than 1200 years old, make it a very interesting object. At a short distance from this venerable fir exists, in the forest of Ferré, a tree called the Meleye, whose age cannot be less than 800 years. The forest of Parey, Saint Ouen, canton de Bulgneville, in the department of the Vosges, is celebrated for a tree called The Oak of the Partizans. Its branches extend over a space of 100 feet, and its height is 107. It has lived during a period of 650 years, and was known at the time when the Cothereaux, the Carriers, and Routiers devastated France in the days of Philip Augustus. A chesnut tree, near the village of Vernet, of ordinary size and height, is supposed to have been planted in the time of Calvin, at the dawn of the great religious struggle in Switzerland. Thus these wondrous natural monuments of antiquity speak forcibly to the mind; and the erections built by man, which we term ancient, dwindle into insignificancy when compared with the stupendous and veteran trees of the forest. cross UNICORN. Market Crosses (Vol. v., p. 594.). The market at Bury, rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1608, was converted into a playhouse in 1734, and in 1774 gave place to the present town hall, which was built for a theatre from the designs of Robert Adams. Views of the market cross have been several times engraved. There was no religious edifice at or near the cross in 1655. The marriage referred to took place agreeably to the Act of 14th August, 1653, which required marriages to be published "three several Lord's Days, or three several weeks," and then to be celebrated in the presence of a justice. The registers of the parish of St. Mary, Bury, contain entries of marriages so solemnized; whence it appears that some were published at the market cross on "three several market days in three several weeks." Miscellaneous. NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. BURIENSIS. The second volume of Messrs. Rivington's handsome library edition of The Works and Correspondence of the Right Honorable Edmund Burke, which had been kept back for the purpose of enabling the editors to insert in the correspondence some new letters of Mr. Burke from original MSS., has now been issued. The correspondence in this volume commences in the year 1791, and proceeds to the death of the distinguished writer; and it contains in addition Burke's Vindication of Natural Society, and his world-renowned Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful. Although, as a general rule, we abstain from noticing all theological works which can be considered as of a controversial nature, we have been so interested in a little volume which has recently come before us that we cannot refrain from bringing it under the notice of our readers; it is entitled Sympathies of the Continent, or Proposals for a New Reformation, by John Baptist von Hirscher, D.D., Dean of the Metropolitan Church of Freiburg, Breisgau, and Professor of Theology in the Roman Catholic University in that city; Translated and Edited with Notes and Introduction by the Rev. Arthur Cleveland Coxe. The great interest of this work, which might more properly have been called The Working of the Roman Catholic Church in Germany, is to be found in the fact that it is written by a learned and eminent dignitary of that Church, and advocates those practical reforms in her system which our own Church introduced three centuries since, BOOKS RECEIVED. -" Some people," said Dr. Johnson, "have a foolish way of not minding, or pretending not to mind, what they eat."

THE WORKS OF WILLIAM THE of the early Editions, all the Original Novels and Tales on which the plays are founded; copious Archæological Illustra ions to each plav, and a Life of the poet. By JAMES 0. HALLIWELL, Esq., F.R.S., Honorary Member of the Royal Iris. Academy; the Royal Society of Literature: the Newcastle Antiquarian Socie y; the Ashmolean Society, and of the Society for the study of Gothic Architecture; Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries; Corresponding Member of the Antiquarian Societies of Scot and, Poictiers, Picardie, and Caen (Academie des Sciences), and of the Comité des Arts et Monuments, &c. The linstrations by and under the direction of F. W. FAIRIIOLT, E-q., F.S.A., author of "Costume in England," &c The peparation of this work has occupied my earnest attention for nearly twelve years; my objeet being to bring together, from the storesf Elizabethan literature, art, or science, whatever really tends to illustrate the pages of the great poet of the world in the full conviction there yet remains room for one comprehensive edition which shall answer the requirements of the student a d zealous inquier, Gran ing that the general spi it of Shakespeare may be appreciated without the assistance of lengthened commentary, it cannot be denied there is much which is obseure to the modern reader. numerous allusions to the lit rature, manners, and phraseolory of the times which require expl nation and careful discussion. This is a labour which has never yet been attemp ed on a large scale. In the preface to the translation of Karl Simroek's "Remarks," 8vo, 1860. I have shown there are upwards of two thousand obsolete words and phrases in Shakespeare left without any explanation in the editions of Mr. Knight and Mr. Collier. Here is, undoubtedly a field of erit cism. which deserves the labour of the student: and without attempting to suppl all these deficiencies, it may still be allowed me, without presumption, to promise an extensive advance on what has been accomplished by my predecessors. Each ch play will be accompanied by every kind of useful literary and antiquarian illustration, extending to complete copies of all novels, tales, or dramas on which it is founded, and ertire mpression of the first sketches, in the cases of the Merry Wives of Windsor, Hamlet, &c. In fact, no pains will be spared to render this edition the most complete in every respect that has yet been produced : super eding entirely the Variorum edition of 1821, with the addition of all Shakespearian discoveries of any importance which have been made since that period. The work will be copiously illustrated by facsimiles and woodcuts, the direction of which has been undertaken by Mr. Fairholt, who has also most kind'y promised to assist me in the selection. It is unnecessary to enlarge on the import nee of such assistarce, nd the valuable aid to be expected from Mr. Fairholt sextensive reading in Elizabethen literature and intimate acquaintance with every department of ancient art. One of the early volumes will be illustrated by an entirely new engraving of the monument at Stratford-on-Avon, executed with minute accuracy: and by an exact copy of the nortrait of Shakespeare which is prefixed to the first edition of his works. It is almost unnecessary to say the e are the only representations of the poet which are undoubtedly authentic. The size of the first folio, after much consideration, has been adopted not only because it is the most convenient folio form (barely measuring fourteen inches by nine, and suits the size of the faesimies, most of which would otherwise have to be folde'. but the magnitude of he undertaking precludes any other, were it intended to complete it in any reasonable number of volum s. As it is, it must occuny at least twenty volumes: but should an additional volume be reavired, it will be presented to the original subscribers. We now proced to speak of the mode of circula ion; end in anxiously cons dering this subject. have been er fui to bear in mind the obligations due to the original subscribers of sa expensive a work as well as the necessity of the large expenditure being reimbursed, to say nothing of an adequate return for the literary labour, the attainment of which is more than problematical, as it would be incompatible wi h any arrangement which secured the permanency of a high price. Now, it is a wellknow fact that no literary or artistic work maintains its original value unless the impression is strictly limit d; and it is proposed to adopt thi course on the present occasion. The Editor, therefore, pledges himself to 1 mit the number of copies to "one hundred and fifty," under the following conditions: 1. The impression of this edition of Shakespeare will be most strictly limited to one hundred and fifty copies, and each copy will have the printer's autograph certificate that that limit has been preserved. 2. The work will be completed in about twenty folio volumes; but any volumes in excess of that number will be presented to the original subscribers. 3. All the plates and woodcuts used for this work will be destroyed, and no separate impression of any of them will be taken off. The original subscription price of each volume (a thick forio, copiously illustrated) will be Tw Guines; and bearing in mind the above restrictions, and the expenditure requisite for such a work, the Editor is confident that price will not only be retained, but, in all probability, greatly raised within a few years. whole whole will be completed (D.V.) in six years; so that for a comparatively small annual expenditure (about six guineas) during that period, the subscriber will possess the most complete monograph edition of the works of the greatest poet of all ages. Nor can it be anticipated he will be purchasing what is likely to fall in value. He will pos ess a work that can never come into the market, but, in its pecuniary relations, will stand somewhat in the position of a proof engraving, only to be possessed by a very limited number. The Editor has been anxious thus to state at some len th the considerations which have urged him to limit the impression of the work so strictly; for however willing, on many accounts, to seek a more extensive circulation, he could not bring himself personally to ask for support without taking every means to ensure, in their fullest extent, the interests of those who are is clined to encourage an arduous under aking of this kind. The risk.moreover, was too great to venture the publication in the ord nary way; and he was, was, therefore, compelled either to abandon the hope of printing his materials, or to appeal to the select few likely to und rstand the merits of the design. To those few, the Editor hopes he may, without ar ogance, av w the design of offering the most copious edition of Shakespeare ever printe, and one of the handsomest and most important series of volumes that could be placed in an English library. Nor let it be thought such an edition will contain merely dry annotations en disputed passages. Particular rezard will be paid to archæological i lustration; and wherever the museuns of the antiquary can be made serviceable, the aid of the artist will be solicited. There is much of this kind which has never been us d by Shakespearian editors, and I have the satisfaction to state that, amongst others, Lord Londesborough's noble collection of En lish antiquities will be accessible to me for copies of any specimens that may help to eiucidate the author's meaning. In every kind of literary illustration of Shakespeare, my own library is, perha s, richer than any other. For many years, no expense has been spared to procure rare works likely to be useful for this undertaking; and, in one instance, I have given upwards of sixty pounds for a single tract.on account of its affording an unique illustration of one play. The reader may hence conclude how much continued labour and onxiet have been incurred in the collection of my materials. In conclusion. I am sanguine this longcherished design should not, will not, fail for want of appreciation. The works of Shakespeare, the greatest of all uninspired authors, should surely be surrounded, in one edition at leas by the reading of the student and the poneil of the archæological draughtsman. In one edition. let every source of useful illustation be ex lored and rendered accessible to the studert and the future editor: and even if there be some thing redundant, much will remain suggestive of fami ir explanations of obscurities and more popular uses. All communicati naar suggestions respect ing this work should be addressed to the Editor, Avenue L.dge, Brixton Hill, Surrey. NOTE.
