NOTES:-Goldsmith's 'Deserted Village,' 41-Statues and painstaking piece of work is probably unparalleled in the annals of bibliography; and although an infinite number of variations in spelling, abbreviation, and punctua tion were discovered in the different editions, it nevertheless proved to be impossible to reach a satisfactory conclusion with regard to the actual priority of the octavos relatively to the first quarto. The only real textual variation occurred in 1. 37, which in the supposed first octavo reads Amidst thy bowers the tyrant's head is seen. In the first quarto and in the other two octavos, as well as in every later edition, the line reads Amidst thy bowers the tyrant's hand is seen.

Another small octavo edition, has, however, recently come into my possession, which may possibly throw some light on the relative positions of the supposed first octavo and the first quarto. NOTES ON BOOKS:- Grammar of the Gothic Language' -Reviews and Magazines. OBITUARY:-Dr. Furnivall; D. W. Ferguson. 2 Notes. 2 22 66 The This is a small octavo pamphlet, measuring 6 in. by 4 in., and is in its original condition, the pages being still untouched by the paper knife. It is sewn in grey-green wrappers, and the title-page is engraved, with the following inscription: Deserted Village, | A Poem | By Dr. Goldsmith. | [Oval vignette.] London: | Printed for J. Barker, Russell Court, | Drury Lane." There is no date. It is printed on one large folio sheet, folded into quarter sheets, and each signature ([A], B, C, and D) consists therefore of four leaves. The collation is: Half-title, p. [i], verso blank; title, p. [iii] verso blank; Dedication, p. [v]-vii; advertisement, p. [viii]; text, pp. [9-32]. The title is not separately inserted, but, though engraved, forms part of quarter-sheet A. GOLDSMITH'S DESERTED VILLAGE.' IN The Athenæum for 20 June, 1896, the late Col. Francis Grant described a small octavo edition of Goldsmith's Deserted Village, W. Griffin, 1770, which had recently been sold by auction in London, and which had hitherto escaped the notice of bibliographers. On the 8th of August following The Athenaeum published another letter which drew attention to a copy of 'The Deserted Village,' 8vo, with Griffin's imprint, which differed materially from that described by Col. Grant. A third variation was not long afterwards discovered, and a most exhaustive comparison of the three octavos and the six quartos of 1770 was subsequently made by Mr. Luther S. Living- The peculiarity of this edition is that it ston, who, after causing a transcript to be contains the errors of the supposed first made of the supposed first octavo, had octavo, including the tyrant's head in each of the four hundred and thirty-two 1. 37, with two exceptions. In the supposed lines copied on separate sheets, and had first octavo the word "each " in 1. 8 is miswritten in below every variation in text, spel-printed earch," and in 1. 302 " peasant ling, and punctuation which occurred in the is misprinted peasants."
