the curiæ, and the tombs, are all described by De lorio. It is a curious fact that three strata of tombs belonging to various ages, should be lying one above the other on one spot; first the cemetery of the present inhabitants of Resina, then, about fifteen feet lower, Roman tombs made of brick, and lower still, at the level of the ancient town, the sepulchres of the former people of Herculaneum. De Iorio has also published a useful little work on the proper method for discovering and searching ancient tombs, in which, after deploring the loss which is daily occasioned by unskilful management in breaking up those monuments, he gives proper directions for proceeding in simi

lar cases.

Purcell's Sacred Music-Purcell, one of the most original of English composers, died in 1695, and two years after a collection was made of his secular music, and published under the title of "Orpheus Britannicus." Up to this day, however, his ecclesiastical compositions have remained scattered through different works, or slumber in unpublished manuscript; and it is with much pleasure we learn that an attempt is at last making to collect them. The editor is a foreigner, Vincent Novello, organist to the Portuguese embassy; and he has succeeded in obtaining several MS. anthems from the very rare collection of the late Mr. Bartleman. The work will be published periodically in numbers.

Nollekens the sculptor-Artists, collectors and lovers of art, will be glad to hear that a Life of the above very distinguished, though eccentric personage, is nearly ready for publication. It is the production of Mr. Smith, the Keeper of the Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, and one of the executors of the Sculptor.

An Historical Romance, chiefly illustrative of the public events and domestic manners of the Fifteenth Century, entitled, "The Last of the Plantagenets," is in the press, and will shortly be published.

Preparing for publication, "The Musical Bijou," being a collection of Songs, Rondos, Dances, Poetry, and Tales, by popular Authors and Composers, illustrated with engravings.

The fourth and concluding volume of Mr. Godwin's valuable "History of the Commonwealth of England," will appear in a few days.

A new Novel, illustrative of a very striking portion of British society, is on the eve of appearance. It is entitled, "Life in India," and will depict the pursuits and festivities of the fashionable ranks of Calcutta.

Mr. Hass, of Berners-street, is about to publish a splendid and original New Year's Gift, printed in gold, entitled "The Golden Lyre," consisting of the finest passages from the poets of England, France, Germany, and Italy; selected by Mr. Macray, author of "Stray Leaves," &c.

The "Memoirs of General Miller," a book to which we have been indebted for much valuable information, is, we hear, about to be translated into the French language. Indeed the work is entitled to extensive publicity.
