which was unfit for reading aloud, and also those which might be called dangerous, which the unlearned and unstable might wrest to their own destruction.

My Query was, whether such a Bible was ever published, and whether any of your correspondents could furnish a copy of the prospectus alluded to? It is no answer to this to say, that the committee who proposed to publish this Bible were not appointed by the Society of Friends, and that the Friends applied to by your correspondent knew nothing of the project. The authoress of the work I quoted has since been publicly named, and if this query should meet her eye, perhaps she may be able to give me the information I require. It is the more incumbent upon her to do so, as the tone of your correspondent is evidently intended to throw a doubt upon her veracity.

T.

"Acu tinali merida" (Vol. iv., p. 406.). - An ingenious friend has suggested to me the following explanation of this passage: "Akove tǹv čλλnv μepída. It is rendered almost certain by the words that come immediately after, in the line quoted by C. W. G., i. e. “audi alteram partem." I am unable, however, to point out the source from which the Greek motto was derived. Perhaps some of your readers will solve this ulterior question.

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, etc. What the Laureate of the day, inspired by the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, sang in 1748,

66

Th' Almighty hand, which first ber shores secured With rolling oceans, and with rocks immured, Which spread her plains, and bade her flocks increase, Designed Britannia for the Land of Peace; Where Commerce only should exert her sway, And musing Science trim th' unfading bay was in 1851 recognised by the whole civilised world, not as a poetical fiction, but as a practical, we had almost said a political, truth. Hence the Crystal Palace, that glorious Temple of Concord, which those potent genii Fox and Henderson, at the bidding of the arch-magician Paxton, raised before our eyes, to put to shame the visionary glories of the Arabian Nights; and hence the avidity with which, like ministering sprites, all the great manufacturers and producers, artists and artizans, vied with each other in assembling beneath its fairy dome the masterpieces of their respective skill, ingenuity, and science. Hence, too, the unfading interest with which, day after day, from May until October, did thousands upon thousands press forward to gaze upon a scene unparalleled in the world's history, whether for costliness of display or moral grandeur.

Of such an event- of such a scene, which it was acknowledged fairly represented the productive genius of the whole world, all may well desire to preserve some remembrance; and whatever may be the fate of the Crystal Palace, the great gathering of the nations

which assembled under its roof has found an imperishable monument in the three handsome octavo volumes which form The Official Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue of the Great Exhibition, 1851. In this great and useful record - the raw materials for which were

furnished by no fewer than fifteen thousand authors —

we have not only an account of every article exhibited, the ablest scientific pens, pointing out the leading accompanied in many instances by valuable notes from features of interest in the objects described-which annotations again are rendered still more valuable by the twelve hundred woodcut illustrations which are scattered through these pages, but we have also Mr. Cole's valuable Historical Introduction, illustrating the Rise of the Exhibition, its Progress and Completion; Mr. Digby Wyatt's able account of the Construction of the Building and of the mechanical applications employed; and Mr. Ellis' interesting description of the Revision and Preparation of the Catalogue; when we add that it contains, moreover, all sorts of Indices and Lists for facilitating references our readers will, we think, agree with us that this most complete, instructive, and extraordinary Catalogue may fairly be regarded as An Encyclopædia of the Industry of all Nations in 1851, and as such should find a place not only in every factory and workshop, but in every study and educational establishment within the realin. To meet the requirements of those who cannot purchase the Illustrated Catalogue, Messrs. Spicer have issued a corrected and improved edition of the Official Catalogue, with Alphabetical Indices of Names and Subjects, and British and Foreign Priced Lists: while to enable the non-scientific reader to understand, and to furnish the scientific reader with the results, or, as we might term it, a summing-up of the details to be found in the works already described, they commissioned Mr. Robert Hunt to prepare a Handbook to the Official Catalogues ; an Explanatory Guide to the Natural Productions and Manufactures of the Great Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations, 1851; and that gentleman has so ably executed his task, that, though some who may only wish for general views and impressions may content themselves with his Handbook, the majority of the purchasers of the larger Catalogues must secure Mr. Hunt's interesting volume as an indispensable companion to

them.

When we read the announcement that Mr. Planché was about to publish The Pursuivant of Arms; or Heraldry founded upon Facts, we looked for a work in which good common sense and sound antiquarian knowledge would be found applied to an important branch of historical learning, which has been too often followed by men whose disregard of the former, and want of the latter gift, have done much to justify Voltaire's biting sarcasm upon heraldry. Nor have we been disappointed. The work is one of facts rather than of inferences; and although the accomplished gentleman now at the head of the College of Arms, to whom, " as an able antiquary and worthy man," the work is most appropriately dedicated, may probably dissent from some of Mr. Planché's views, he will, we are sure, admit that they are cautiously advanced, and maintained with learning and ability; and that the Pursuivant of Arms, with its numerous woodcut illus

trations drawn from old seals, monuments, &c., is a valuable contribution towards a more perfect knowledge of heraldic antiquities.

Few books of travels in the East have excited greater attention, on their first appearance, or maintained their popularity for a longer period, than the lively volume entitled Eothen. In selecting it, therefore, for the Eleventh and Twelfth Parts of The Traveller's Library, Messrs. Longman have shown their determination to maintain the interest of that excellent series of cheap books.

"Mr. Arnold has succeeded in preparing a work admirably adapted to meet the wants of English students of the French language. The philosophical explanation of the changes of consonants, together with the frequent references to Latin words and idioms by way of illustration and comparison, render it far superior as a school-book to any other introduction, even from the pen of a native writer. The sound principles of imitation and repetition which have secured for the author a reputation widely extended and well deserved are here happily exemplified. His account of the differences of idiom is very satisfactory and complete whoever thoroughly masters it, will rarely want any thing further on the subject."-Athenaeum.
