gotten. In A Page from the History of the Reformation he has from (apparently) hardly known records done something to establish the real character of a part of that great transaction,-and at a future day he hopes to do more. Coming down to modern times, he has noted the labours of the pious Robert Nelson, and the researches (mainly on Christian art) of the lamented Mrs. Jameson. He has, from the Diaries of George Rose, sketched the chief men of the time of George III.; from various sources he has shewn the state of Literature in the Cabinet of Queen Victoria; and from the Voyage of the Fox, he has told the successful daring of M'Clintock. Glimpses at strange and various aspects of the human mind will be found alike in the account of the Church of St. Duilech and the Anchorites of the Middle Ages, in Pictures of Spain and the Spaniards, and of a still more stationary race in a notice of Ancient Sanskrit Literature; at a fitting opportunity he purposes to enter on the wide field of Eastern Archæology. Before he concludes this resumé of historical matters, he may be allowed to point out The House of Gournay as a most gratifying instance of devotion of talent, time, and means by a private gentleman to the illustration of the history of his family, and to express a hope that Mr. Daniel Gurney may find many imitators. In the department of ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS, SYLVANUS URBAN has, through the courtesy of the Right Hon. the Master of the Rolls, and from private sources, been able to make some not unimportant additions to the available materials for history, and. his Patrons may rely that his exertions in that direction will not be relaxed. The ANTIQUARIAN AND LITERARY INTELLIGENCER has recorded, he trusts satisfactorily and in sufficient detail, the proceedings of a large number of learned Societies, and to any others that may favour him with their communications he will readily accord his space. The same offer applies to his CORRESPONDENCE and the OBITUARY, respecting which he again urges his request for that co-operation that shall more than ever justify his ancient" word," E PLURIBUS UNUM.
