No such name occurs in Potthast's list ('Bibliotheca Hist. Medii Ævi'); Gracilianus and Gratianus are to be found there (Suppl., p. 216). If the original will be in existence it may clear up the difficulty. I suspect an error on the part of the copyist. K. P. D. E.

Old Mortality. By Sir Walter Scott, Bart. With Introductory Essay and Notes by Andrew Lang. (Nimmo.) IN beginning with Old Mortality' the "Tales of my Landlord" series of the "Waverley Novels " the "Border" edition departs from the well-known forty-eight volumes series it so admirably replaces. In that The Black Dwarf' comes first. This is now relegated to a later place, and vols. ix. and x. are wholly occupied with what Mr. Lang is inclined to consider Scott's greatest historical novel. We are scarcely disposed to assign so high a place. It supplies a brilliant picture of the hard-headedness, the fanaticism, and the intractability of the Covenanters, and its sketches of Claverhouse, Bothwell, Balfour of Burley, and others, have a marvellous vitality. Morton is, however, perhaps the most uninteresting and pedantic of Scott's heroes, and Edith Bellenden is one of the least sympathetic of his heroines, So dull and conscientious a dog, indeed, is Morton, that bis happy escape from the constant dangers he encounters causes a feeling not far removed from grudging. Lord Evandale, also, is rather a milksop. It requires, indeed, all one's faith in the greatest of novelists to reconcile one to the hyper-sentimental conversation of these personages. Scott bad, however, hampered himself by writing against his sympathies. However weak in parts, moreover, may be his work, it is immeasurably better than any novel from other pens that comes in contrast or competition with it. We have sometimes wondered if it were the timidity begotten of Scott's legal training that tempts him so often to make his heroes casuits instead of men of action. Mr. Lang's comments and notes remain delightful, and the illustrations are perhaps the best that have yet been supplied. The etchings of Bothwell Bridge, of Morton waiting death, and others, by Mr. Gow, Mr. Bough, R.S.A., Mr. McWhirter, A.R.A., and other artists, are quite excellent. The entire edition merits the utmost praise.

The Book of Delightful and Strange Designs. By Andrew W. Tuer. (Leadenhall Press.)

WE cannot quote in extenso Mr. Tuer's long and quaint title-page, in which, announcing himself calmly as one "who knows nothing at all about it," he introduces a hundred facsimile illustrations of the art of the Japanese stencil cutter. The first edition, the number of which is limited, contains a rich and very beautiful Japanese atencil-plate. Mr. Tuer's introduction, a very instructive and edifying piece of work to those, like ourselves, with no knowledge of the subject, is printed in English, German, and French. The designs, many of which are of singular beauty, present the common subjects of Japanese

illustration-chrysanthemums, butterflies, cranes, fish, flowers, dancers, bamboos, &c. Many quaint historical and mythical legends are presented, some of them of great antiquity. We can only profess our admiration for a volume to deal adequately with which would test the sources of information even of ' N. & Q.' Epistola de insulis nouiter repertis. Photo-lithograph of the Latin Translation of Columbus's Letter to Sanxis. Edited, with Introductory Note, by E. W. B. Nicholson, M.A., Bodley's Librarian. (Oxford, Clarendon Press; London, Quaritch.)

Caxton's Advertisement. Photolithograph. Edited, with Introductory Note, by the same. (Same publishers.)

WE have here two out of the first four of a series of "Bodleian Facsimile Reprints," in course of being issued by Bodley's Librarian, from extremely rare and sometimes unique copies of the originals now in the great Oxford library. The Epistola is that in which Columbus announced to Raphael Sanxis, Treasurer of Aragon, the nature of his discovery of the island called by the "Indi" Guanahanin, and of other islands, and of what he believed to be a continent, a province of " Chatai." It is dated from Lisbon, the day before the Ides of March, and was translated into Latin from the Spanish original by Aleandro de Corco, "nobilis ac literatus vir." Curiously enough, Columbus, though actually writing off the Azores, seems to have dated both this letter and another written on the same day from Lisbon. the only two copies known, exceedingly brief though it Caxton's Advertisement,' reproduced from one of be, has a special interest for students of the history of printing, while appealing also to liturgiologists from its reference to the "Pye," and to Commemorations of the "Salisburi use "-viz., the use of the illustrious Church of Sarum, the dominant use of medieval England. Notts and Derbyshire Notes and Queries. _Nos. 1 and 2. Edited by J. Potter Briscoe and John Ward. (Derby, Leicester, and Nottingham, Frank Murray; London, Marshall Brothers.)

HERE we have yet another offshoot of the great parent stem of N. & Q.,' which is to devote its energies to collecting many a wise saw and modern instance and to rescuing many a dying and half-forgotten local custom within the neighbouring counties of Nottingham and Derby. The editors are both well known in connexion with their respective counties, and their combination on the title-page of our new contemporary speaks well for its probabilities of success. Dr. J. C. Cox, too, lends the aid of his pen, erstwhile familiar in the shires and well known in the Dukery.

Mr. Ward deservedly draws attention to an interesting old Derby mansion, known as Babington House, though it is not the house in which Mary, Queen of Scots, rested in 1585 on her way to Tutbury, and it seems to have been built by a local family of note, the Mellors. Of Babington Hall, the home of the Babingtons, where Mary did rest, some panels carved with the family rebus, the baboon and tun, are given from the originals, now in the possession of the Rev. C. Kerry. Mr. Stapleton writes on Harby and the death of Queen Eleanor, and doubts the tradition that the first of the famous memorial crosses was erected at the place of

[ocr errors]

the queen's death. 'Tis a pity, perhaps, but painstaking investigation seems to have robbed Harby of its Eleanor

cross.

THE paper most interesting to the general reader in the Fortnightly is that of Mr. W. Basil Worsfield on Dutch Society in Java.' Life in this important Dutch colony seems not less picturesque than free and easy, and the costumes adopted by both sexes must be of the

It is, moreover, told with so genuine a modesty of temper, so transparent a fidelity to fact, so generous and eager a desire on the part of the leader of the expedition to give their due meed of praise and recognition to each and all of his subordinates, not excepting the humblest of his African followers, that the critic's task becomes merely one of unstinted admiration of the almost unexampled greatness of the deeds accomplished and the profound ethical interest of the narrative which describes them."

They alleviate and cure all muscular and nervous pains. In hereditary rheumatism, after bathing well rubbed upon the spot, that it may penetrate and exert its soothing the affected parts with warm salt water, Holloway's Ointment should be and regulating properties on the deeper vessels and nerves which are unduly excited, and cause both the pain and swelling. Holloway's treatment has the merit of removing the disease without debilitating the constitution, which was the inevitable result of the bleeding, mercury, and colchicum practice formerly adopted in these complaints.
