NOTES ON BOOKS, &c.

The Works of Dr. Thomas Campion. Edited by A. H. Bullen. (Privately printed.)

Ir is difficult, in dealing with Mr. Bullen's recent publication, to restrain eulogy within limits, or to preserve the judicial calm which is the atmosphere of criticism. His reprints and collections are simply ideal. In issuing them he is vindicating our national character and challenging the bibliographical supremacy of France. The proof of this is that his collections of lyrics are bibliographical rarities before any but a few specially acute readers have heard of their existence. In France it has long been the case that certain works are never obtainable except by those whose names are in the possession of the publisher as subscribers. So it now is practically with Mr. Bullen's publications. What a book his 'Dr. Campion' is! Bibliographically it is a treasure. It is a work on which the hand falls caressingly. It is only, perhaps, too delicate and beautiful, so that one feels in accepting it, like Beatrice in 'Much Ado about Nothing' in presence of the playful offer of marriage of the Duke, that we would fain" have another for working days," since, like his grace, the volume is "too costly to wear every day." It is a book to open carefully, and to dip into before reading. Mr. Bullen's delightful introduction - biographical, critical, and explanatory, full of acute and sympathetic judgment and pleasant erudition-will be read at once, and then the lyrics will be an endless delight. It may not be said in presence of poets such as the Laureate, Mr. Swinburne, and others, that the art of writing lyrics is lost. These Elizabethan lyrics have, however, a character as distinctly their own as the Elizabethan dramas. Campion's are among the best of their class. They are made to be sung, and they have the "Doric delicacy" which in Milton delighted Sir Henry Wotton. In his masques Campion is not seen at his best, but his Latin poems are graceful and pleasing. The "Observations on the Art of English Poesy is curious in many respects, and the specimens of unrhymed verse that he gives have, as Mr. Bullen characteristically says, a certain interest as metrical curiosities, and serve as a warning-piece to wandering wits." It is, however, in the tunable contents of his "Books of Airs" that the attractions of Campion will be found. Like all real poetry, these grow upon you, and they may be turned to with certainty of delight. The devotional poems are, moreover, equal in all respects to the amorous lyrics. In richness of imagination Mr. Bullen regards Campion, in these poems, as at least the equal of Crashawe, while he assigns him a sobriety of judgment in which Crashawe was painfully deficient. To owe to a man reprints such as this seems almost to incur too great obligation. The world to which Campion appeals is, after all, limited, and the book is little likely to attract those who cater for the million. A limited edition such as this is exactly what is wanted, and our warmest gratitude is given to Mr. Bullen for supplying it. Too much of bibliophiles are we to care to see the minor poets of the Elizabethan age rendered universally accessible. To do this is like carrying the railways to spots of remotest beauty. Books such as the present are, however, exactly what are wanted, and our heartiest thanks are accorded to the enterprising and tasteful critic and explorer to whom the Campion is due.

Dictionary of National Biography. Edited by Leslie Stephen. Vol, XVII. (Smith, Elder & Co.) IN the seventeenth volume of the 'Dictionary of National Biography' ("Edward" to "Erskine"), the one biography of primary importance is that of Queen Elizabeth. This has fallen into the eminently capable hands of Dr. Augustus Jessopp. The summing up of the character of Elizabeth is masterly. For literature, as the term is now understood, Dr. Jessopp finds that she never appears to have had any taste, and he holds that "she did not even care for learning or learned men." She "lived quite outside that splendid intellectual activity which began at the close of her reign." Her parsimony was phenomenal. Her regard for the Duke of Alençon seems to have puzzled her biographer, who wonders whether her behaviour towards him was mere acting, or was a case of absolute infatuation. Elizabeth's expression to James VI. of "extreme dolour" for the "miserable accident "-the death of Mary Stuart-is held to be sincere, Dr. Jessopp adding rather cynically, "How could she but be grieved that the moral sense of the world condemned her?" The historians occupy, of course, a large share of the volume, in which appear the lives of all the Edwards. Edward I. and III. and Edward the Black Prince are among the numerous and important contributions of the Rev. W. Hunt; Edward II. is in the hands of Prof. Tout; Edward IV. and his queen Elizabeth are both in those of Mr. James Gairdner. The only contributions to which the editor's signature is affixed are those of William and Elizabeth Elstob. Mr. S. L. Lee, even though he supplies lucid and excellent biographies of Edward VI., Sir Thomas Egerton, Baron Ellesmere and Viscount Brackley, Thomas Ellwood (the Quaker friend of Milton) and Sir Thomas Elyot (the author of The Governor'), and others, is not a frequent contributor. The Rev. J. Woodfall Ebsworth has spirited biographies of the two Pierce Egans, father and son. Few poets are met with, and Mr. A. H. Bullen's most important biographies are those of Richard Edwards, author of a play or two and some miscellaneous verses, and William Elderton, described as a "notorious tippler and a ready writer of ballads." Under" Elphinstone" and "Erskine" will be found the more important lives of Mr. Russell Barker. Dr. Garnett is responsible for Sir Henry Ellis and for Edward Edwards. James Edwards, bookseller and bibliographer, and John Eliot, the Indian apostle, are by Mr. H. R. Tedder, Sir John Eliot naturally being assigned to Mr. S. R. Gardiner. Among the sailors with whom Prof. Laughton deals are Admirals Elliott and Elphinstone. Viscount Keith, Dr. Norman Moore, Mr. Thomas Bayne, Mr. Thompson Cooper, Mr. Louis Fagan, Mr. W. P. Courtney, Mr. Stanley LanePoole, and Mr. Robert Harrison supply contributions in their various lines. Once more the new volume is published with exemplary punctuality.

The Library: a Magazine of Bibliography and Literature. The Organ of the Library Association of the United Kingdom. No. 1. (Stock.)

IT is not safe to prophesy as to the fortune of a periodical by its first number. If, however, we may take the part before us as an average specimen, the Library has a good future before it. Mr. Austin Dobson's paper on a forgotten book of travels-that is, Moritz's Travels in England in 1783'-is very interesting, and will disturb the copies which remain from their century of repose on the shelves of our great libraries. Mr. Bullen's account of the American Appledore Press is useful. English people are, for the most part, densely ignorant of what goes on in the book-world of America, except as regards novels and popular magazines. Mr. H. R. Tedder has

written well, but too curtly, on 'The Bibliography and Classification of French History.' It is a vast subject. After all, what is history? A work compiled on narrow lines would be of little service; one that endeavoured to be exhaustive might include nearly everything. Dod's Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage for 1889. (Whittaker & Co.)

BUT one year short of its jubilee is the new edition of Dod's Peerage and Knightage,' which has now reached its forty-ninth year. It retains all the known features which have commended it to public favour, and supplies a full, yet compendious and trustworthy guide to all the titled classes. The list of new creations may appear small after the fervour of the Jubilee year. Near four hundred names have been changed owing to deaths, however, and there is a tolerably extensive list of baronets and knights, together with the changes in the Episcopate. The utility of this handsome yet compendious guide is generally recognized.

Sell's Dictionary of the World's Press, 1889. (Sell's Advertising Agency.)

So rapidly does the Dictionary of the World's Press' augment in size that it will soon equal the Post Office Directory.' With its portraits of leading editors and other attractive features it recommends itself to others besides the advertiser, to whom it is indispensable.

The True Position of Patentees, by H. Moy Thomas (Ayrton & Thomas), gives a sort of bird's-eye view of the patent laws of the world, with useful hints to English inventors. Some nations, it appears, are still illiberal and unwise enough to withhold protection from foreign inventors. Oddly enough, the rule seems to be the smaller the country the larger the patent office fees. Great Britain now stands fairly well in this respect; but the United States is perhaps the model country in respect of its patent laws.

Hazell's Annual, edited by Mr. E. D. Prior, F.G.S., has reached its fourth year of issue. Its information is carried to the most recent date; and its claims upon the public, always strong, are now stronger than ever. Suggestions from without have been followed, the title has been changed from the 'Cyclopædia' to the Annual, and nearly one-half is new matter. As all who have used it know, it is invaluable.

THE Bookworm for the new year witnesses the beginning of a series of articles upon Bookworms of Yesterday and To-day.' Mr. Bernard Quaritch, of whom a portrait is given, leads the van. Whether a bookseller is to be described as a bookworm may be doubtful. Mr. Quaritch, at least, possesses more scarce and valuable books than are easily to be found in any private collection. The periodical shows improvement.

WITH sincere regret we announce the death of Mr. J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps, F.R.S., F.S.A., one of the oldest and staunchest friends of 'N. & Q.' He wrote frequently in the early series, and to the last remained an occasional contributor. His services to Shakspearian literature are universally recognized, and his 'Outlines of the Life of Shakespeare' remains a monument of sound criticism and loving and indefatigable labour. His 'Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial English' has been a constant companion of scholars. His publications, of one class or other, amount to more than sixty volumes. Many literary rarities were privately printed for his friends, who were always sure of a welcome at his bungalow at Hollingbury Copse, near Brighton, where, with his second wife, he exercised a constant and hearty hospitality. His name was originally James Orchard Halliwell, the appellation of Phillipps being assumed under a

direction in the will of the grandfather of his first wife. Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps was born in 1820. He was the son of Mr. Thomas Halliwell, of Sloane Street.

MR. HENRY KING, barrister-at-law, of the Temple, who was a frequent correspondent of N. & Q.' under the signature of Harry Leroy Temple, died towards the close of last year, aged seventy. He was brought up at the Charterhouse, where he was a schoolfellow of Leech and just remembered Thackeray. From Charterhouse he was elected to a scholarship at Wadham College, Oxford, of which he continued a Fellow to his death. He was also one of the governing body of Dulwich College. He was an excellent English scholar, and was well posted up in modern literature generally. Until the last he was a familiar figure at the Garrick Club, of the history and traditions of which he preserved a mental record.

MR. NORVAL CLYNE, of Aberdeen, news of whose death reaches us, was an occasional contributor to our columns. He was for many years secretary to the Society of Advocates, and wrote Ballads from Scottish History,' The Jacobites and their Poetry,' and other works bearing upon ballad literature. It was in keeping with his studies that he should be a Jacobite in his sympathies.
