NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC

The Percy Society have just issued A New and Mery Enterlude called the Triall of Treasure, from the edition printed at London by Thomas Purfoote, 1567, edited by Mr. Halliwell. The other works issued by the Society since May last (when the year's subscription became due) have been A Poem (satirical) of The Times of Edward II., edited by the Rev. C. Hardwick, from a MS. at St. Peter's College, Cambridge, of which a less perfect copy from an Edinburgh MS. was printed by Mr. Wright, in the volume of Political Songs, edited by him for the Camden Society; Notices of Fugitive Tracts and Chap-Books, printed at Aldermary Churchyard, Bow Churchyard, &c. by Mr. Halliwell; The Man in the Moone, or The English Fortune Teller, edited by the same gentleman, from the unique copy printed in 1609, now in the Bodleian; and lastly, The Religious Poems of William de Shoreham, Vicar of Chart-Sutton in Kent, in the Reign of Edward II., edited by Mr. Wright, from a contemporary manuscript.

It is doubtful whether Mr. Shaw's skill as an artist, fidelity as a copyist, or taste in the selection of his subjects, entitle him to the higher praise. We leave to those who are familiar with his Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages, and other admirable productions, the settlement of this point. He has just published the first number of a new work, The Decorative Arts of the Middle Ages, the object of which is to exhibit the peculiar features and general characteristics of decorative art, from the Byzantine or early Christian period to the decline of that termed the Renaissance. This beautiful work—for beautiful it is—is extremely well timed, as it appears at a moment when our manufacturers who desire to display their skill at the great exhibition of 1851, must be most anxious to see "the principles by which our ancestors controlled their genius in producing articles of taste and beauty, from the precious metals, from enamels, from glass, from embroidery, and from the various other textures and materials on which they delighted to lavish their skill and ingenuity (both for the various services of the Church, and also as accessories to the luxuries of the wealthy of all classes)." The present number contains: 1. "An exquisite Cup, designed by Holbein for Queen Jane Seymour;" 2. "Stained Glass of the 13th Century, from the Cathedral of Chartres;" 3. "An exquisite Specimen of Embroidery (of the date of 1554), from a picture of Queen Mary belonging to the Society of Antiquaries;" and, 4. "Iron-work from the Tomb of Eleanor of Castile." It will be seen, from this enumeration of them, how varied and well selected are the subjects of this new work of Mr. Shaw, and how well they are adapted to answer the end which he has in view.

Messrs. Leigh Sotheby & Co. will sell on Thursday next, and the two following days, "The valuable and select library of William Ashby Ashby, Esq., of Queenby Hall, Leicestershire," consisting of standard works in English history, and the best editions of Latin, Italian, and French Classics, &c. all in the choicest old morroco, russia, and other handsome bindings.

Third Edition, fcap. 8vo. 7s.6d.

PLAIN SERMONS. addressed to Country Congregations. By the late Rev. EDWARD BLENCOWE. Curate of Teversal, and formerly Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford.

By the same Author, fcap. 8vo., 7s. 6d.

PLAIN SERMONS. Second Series. Second Edition.

"In the statements of Christian doctrine, the reality of Mr. Blencowe's mind is very striking. There is a strength, and a warmth, and a life, in his mention of the great truths of the Gospel, which show that he spoke from the heart, and that, like the Apostle of old, he could say.—'I believe, and therefore have I spoken.'"—Theologian.

"Plain, short, and affectionate discourse."—English Review.

2 Vols. 12mo., 8s. each, sold separately. SERMONS. By ALFRED GATTY M.A., Vicar of Ecclesfield.

"We say willingly of these Sermons, what we can seldom say of sermons published at the request of parishioners, that they justify the respect paid to them; and appear to us in somewhat the same light as we should suppose they seemed to those who listened to and admired them. They are sermons of a high and solid character, and are the production of a good Churchman. They are earnest and affectionate, and follow out of the Church's doctrine."—Theologian.

"Warm-hearted and thoughtful."—Guardian.

"When the first edition of theses Sermons appeared, we noticed them as a series of plain and practical, but close and scholarly discourses. The appearance of a second edition, in a short time, justifies our recommendation."—Spectator.

"In the effective simplicity with which Mr. Gatty applies the incidents and precepts of the Gospel to the every-day concerns of life he has no superior."—Britannia.

8vo., price 7s. 6d. THE UNITY OF GOD'S MORAL LAW, AS REVEALED IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT. By the Rev. A.J. MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge, Principal of Brighton College.

"We can recommend it not only as an answer to charges and insinuations, but also as an able and clear exposition of the meeting point of the Jewish and Christian dispensations; a distinct and lucid delineation, amidst apparent divergencies, of the coincidences of the animating principles of the law and the gospel." —Christian Observer.

8vo., cloth, 8s. THE SEVEN AGES OF THE CHURCH; or, THE SEVEN APOCALYPTIC EPISTLES INTERPRETED BY CHURCH HISTORY. By the Rev. HENRY COTTERILL, M.A., Vice-President; and Theological Tutor of Brighton College, and late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge.

"Clearly and thoughtfully written."—English Review.

Fcap. 8vo. 6s. 6d.

SERMONS for SCHOOLS and FAMILIES.

By the Rev. A.J. MACLEANE, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge; Principal of Brighton College: Author of "The Unity of God's Moral Law, as revealed in the Old and New Testament."

"This volume of sermons is of a different stamp from the generality of those which come under our notice. There is a vigour of thought and language throughout, without the slightest extravagance or exaggeration. There is no far-fetched strain of reasoning, nor any attempt at fine writing in these discourses; but the mind of the reader is directed, by a well-managed series of divisions, to the principal doctrines and duties derivable from the passages under consideration. These sermons will afford to the young clergyman excellent examples of the kind of composition which is calculated to render his pulpit-ministration effectual."—English Review.
