Stevenson, 8vo. bds. 7s 6d 1838 These valuable and important publications of the English Historical Society are now closed, they deserve the particular attention of Collectors, Historians, and Librarians; they comprise a greater mass of information about our English History, and in a more convenient form, than hitherto published. We have no space to enumerate the extreme value of each Work separately, or even to notice those that are now for the first time printed; but it may be sufficient to adopt, as a general view of the several Works, the following from the Preface to the Codex Diplomaticus Ævi Saxonici: "The extraordinary amount of information to be derived from these documents renders their publication an era in the studies of Teutonic scholars; for law, language, and history, they are full of data, without which no enquiry in this field, however industrious and conscientious, could possibly be successful. Germany and Scandinavia have their part too in the collection; it is in the running comment upon a dark portion of history, in which the greatest nations of the world dimly and indistinctly figure; and though it belongs to England, it contains many notices which will be valued both north and south of the Elbe. Most valuable is it at a moment like this, when the singular and exceptional position of our country challenges investigation at the hand of the philosophical historian. "More than fifteen hundred documents have survived the conquests and tramplingsof armies, the storm of revolutions, the yet more efficient and gradual changes of fashion, and the altered forms of public and private life; they have survived not only to show us what our forefathers thought and did, but to prove the marvellous resemblance which, in spite of every influence, we their late descendants, bear to our forefathers. "Let us be assured that the Englishman has inherited the noblest and best portion of his being from the Anglo-Saxon; and by a rare good fortune he has the means of comparing his actual condition with that which lay at the remote foundation. It is in every point of view most extraordinary that documents entrusted to such frail materials as parchment or vellum, often drawn up in a language which has long been unintelligible, should still remain, after eight hundred years of interval, for our contemplation; but since it is so, let us avail ourselves of the facts they teach." With numerous sonnets, emblems, &c. "We have great pleasure in bearing our testimony not only to the judicious choice and careful execution of their works themselves. Mr. Kemble's Anglo-Saxon Charters, equally important to the philologist and to the legal and constitutional antiquary. Mr. Stevenson's Ecclesiastical History and Opera Minora of Bede. Mr. Hardy's William of Malmsbury. Mr. Coxe's handsome and complete Roger of Wendover-in short, the Society's publications in general, form a series which any man may be glad to place in his library as satisfactory editions of intrinsically valuable books. Nennius would admit of further elucidation by a good Celtic scholar; but the text is a decided improvement, and the notes are sensible and useful as far as they go."-Garnett's Essays, p. 116. 6277 ERNST (M.

"As in every Monastery there was some curious mind, fond of noting the great incidents of his day, every country in Europe has such Chronicles. But I think with Dr Henry, that, upon the whole, our annalists are superior to those of any other nation at this period. Such a series of regular chronology and true incident; such faithful, clear, and ample materials for authentic history, have scarcely appeared before the public.
