imposed task are intimate knowledge and warm
affection. In his Ricroft of Withens'-a work
which disappoints only in recalling too strongly
'Lorna Doone-and doubtless in other works which
we have not read, he has given a picturesque and
an animated account of the country between
Bingley and Skipton and its denizens. His present
work, which begins with Haworth and the Brontës,
and deals largely with Skipton and the Cliffords,
constitutes delightful reading. Mr. Sutcliffe has,
indeed, great descriptive ability, and brings vividly
before us the scenes and characters he exhibits,
a task in which he is aided by Mr. George Hering,
whose illustrations add to the charm of the volume.
We like Mr. Sutcliffe better, on the whole, when
he deals with scenery than with incident, some of
his pictures of heroic deeds striking us as a little
too set. As a rule his diction is pleasing. We are
but half satisfied with his use, more than once, of
"profligate" for prodigal. Whencesoever derived
(it is not West Riding), the "theftuous foot of time"
is a vile phrase. We do not like "antiquarians," as
a substantive, for antiquaries (see p. 251). A word
such as "dependable" is unpardonable while we
have trustworthy; and we cannot easily overlook a
Shakespearian misquotation such as appears p. 296,
"My horse, my horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
These are, however, but unimportant matters.
Mr. Sutcliffe has written a book with something
of the bracing character of his native hills. Some
things in his pages are quite new to us, and the
story of the second White Doe of Rylstone is
prettily told and very moving.

University Magazines and their Makers. By H. C.
Marillier. (Privately printed.)

MR. MARILLIER has enriched the privately printed
opuscula of the Sette of Odd Volumes, many of
which are already counted as rarities, with a little
work of much interest. He has issued, in a strictly
limited edition, a bibliography of university maga-
zines. The number of these is much larger than
we thought, and the list, though it does not pretend
to completeness, is very long. To add to the value
of the book he includes in it admirably executed
facsimiles of frontispieces, covers, and other features
of interest. Among these are the frontispiece to
the Student, afterwards known as the Oxford and
Cambridge Miscellany, Oxford, 1750; Hogarth's
frontispiece to Terra Filius, Oxford, 1721; the
cover design to Momus, Cambridge, 1868; that to
the Oxford Magazine, which is still in existence;
those, again, to the Isis (with a fine view of "the
High"), the Cambridge Review, the Cambridge
A.B.C., and the Granta. Full information is sup-
plied as to the writers in the various periodicals,
existent or passed away. The work is admirably
done, and will warmly commend itself to the mem-
bers of both universities. It is tantalizing our
readers to recommend a work that can only be
obtained by private interest or favour. We counsel,
however, such of them as have influence with
members of the Sette to use it, even at the risk of
becoming nuisances.

MR. HENRY FROWDE has sent us two charming minute copies of Walton's Compleat Angler. A quarter of an ordinary sheet of note-paper suffices to cover both these tiny books laid side by side; yet, by the aid of the well-known india paper, readable print is secured, and the pretty bindings contain nearly 600 pages.

THE REV. J. BOWSTEAD WILSON, F.S.A., writes: "In a recent number of N. & Q.' my friend the Rev. W. M. Kingsmill was mentioned as one of the four surviving contributors to the first issue of N. & Q. The following notice will show you that he, too, has joined the majority: January 13, at Tibberton Vicarage, the Rev. William Major Kingsmill, M.A., for thirty-five years Rector of Bredicot and Vicar of Tibberton, within ten days of completing his seventy-fifth year."

A NEW and amended edition of Prof. A. Campbell Fraser's Life and Works of Bishop Berkeley,' originally issued in 1871, is now in preparation, and will probably be ready for publication by the Clarendon Press before the end of the present year. The Works' (including the posthumous writings, first published in 1871) will be arranged in chronological order, with additional material since discovered and with the dissertations and annotations carefully revised and to a great extent rewritten. The Life' will be curtailed. Campbell Fraser will be glad to receive any fresh biographical or bibliographical information, or in his first edition, and corrections of errors communications may be addressed to him at the University Press, Oxford.

A CHEAP POPULAR EDITION OF

THE DAILY

DAILY ROUND.

Demy 32mo. 424 pages, cloth, flush edges.

Price ONE SHILLING.

Hitherto the cheapest edition of this well-known work has been issued at Three Shillings, a price which, it has been stated, is prohibitive to many who would otherwise wish to possess a copy.

In response, therefore, to the frequently expressed suggestion of many of the Clergy, both at home and abroad, and with a view to render the work more extensively useful among a wider circle of readers, more particularly the poorer members of the Church, it has been decided to issue a cheap popular edition at so reasonable a price as will bring it within the means of every one to obtain it.

Queen Eleanor's Vengeance' is a vividly told story. Coming to more modern times. The Deeds of Wellington,' Inkerman,' and 'Balaklava' are excellently well said and sung. As a book of ballads, interesting to all who have British blood in their veins, Dr. Bennett's contribution will be welcome.
