to be found in ordinary dictionaries and books of reference, by J. O. HALLIWELL, F.R.S., &c. 8vo. Vol. I. containing 480 pages, closely printed in double columns, cloth, £1. ls (To be completed in 2 vols.)

“ It forms a most comprehensive glossary to all our old English writers, from the beginning of the fourteenth century to the time of the Stuarts, including the earlier chroniclers, the writings of Wycliffe, and a long range of poets, from Piers Ploughman, Chaucer, Gower, Lydgate, &c. to Spenser and his contemporaries, with Shakespeare and the dramatists of that age. Most of the words of the Dictionary are illustrated by examples, selected not only from printed authorities, but from the numerous early English MSS. scattered through public and private libraries, and these are extremely numerous and valuable. In addition to the obsolete portion of our language, this work may be said to be a complete dictionary of the local dialects of the present day, and is one which will be an acceptable addition to every library."

The utility of a Provincial Glossary to all persons desirous of understanding our ancient poets is so universally acknowledged, that to enter into a proof of it would be entirely a work of supererogation. Grose and Pegge are constantly referred to in Todd's “ Johnson's Dictionary."

128 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL List of all the Works which have

A fine poetic feeling is displayed through the various pieces in this volume; according to some critics nothing has appeared equal to it since the time of Burns; the 'Gent.'s Magazine' for Dec. 1844, gave a review of

the volume some pages in length. 132 A GLOSSARY of Provincial Words and Phrases in use in

logues, Poems, Songs, and Ballads, by various Writers, in the Westmorland and Cumberland Dialects, now first collected, to which is added, a Copious Glossary of Words peculiar to those Counties, post 8vo. pp. 408, cloth, 98

This collection comprises, in the Westmorland Dialect, Mrs. ANN WHEELER'S Four Familiar Dialogues, with Poems, &c.; and in the Cumberland Dialect, I. Poems and Pastorals by Rev. JOSIAH RELPH; II. Pastorals, &c., by Ewan CLARK; III. Letter from Dublin by a young Borrowdale Shepherd, by ISAAC RITSON; IV. Poems by John STAGG ; V. Poems by MARK LONSDALE ; VI. Ballads and Songs by ROBERT ANDERSON, the Cumbrian Bard (including some now first printed); VII. Songs by Miss BLAMIRE and Miss GILPIN; VIII. Songs by JOHN RAYSON; IX. An extensive Glossary of Westmorland and Cumberland Words.

“ Among the specimens of Cumberland Vers be found some true poetry, if not the best ever written in the language of rural life this side the Scotch Borders. The writers seem to have caught in their happiest hours inspiration from the rapt soul of Burns. Anderson's touching song of wedded love, 'The Days that are geane,' is a worthy answer for a husband to Burns' 'John Anderson my Jo.'"

Genti's Mag. “ No other two counties in England have so many pieces, both in prose and verse, illustrative of the manners and customs of the inhabitants, and written in their own native dialect. The philologist will find numerous examples of words and phrases which are obsolete in the general language of England, or which have been peculiar to Westmorland and Cumberland from time immemorial. Nor are the pieces uninteresting in other respects. Some of the patois verses are rich in the true spirit and vigour of poetry.”-Metropolitan.

“A charming volume: it contains some beautiful poetical effusions,

as well as characteristic sketches in prose."- Archæologist. 140 THE YORKSHIRE DIALECT, exemplified in various

Dialogues, Tales and Songs, applicable to the County, with a Glossary, post 8vo. 18

HERALDRY AND GENEALOGY. 142 THE CURIOSITIES of Heraldry, with Illustra

trations from Old English Writers, by Mark ANTONY LOWER, Author of " Essays on English Surnames ;" with illuminated Title-page, and numerous Engravings from designs by the Author, 8vo. cloth, GULES, appropriately ornamented or, 148

“ The present volume is truly a worthy sequel (to the 'SURNAMES') in the same curious and antiquarian line, blending with remarkable facts and intelligence, such a fund of amusing anecdote and illustration, that the reader is almost surprised to find that he has learnt so much, whilst he appeared to be pursuing mere entertainment. The text is so pleasing that we scarcely dream of its sterling value; and it seems as if, in unison with the woodcuts, which so cleverly explain its points and adorn its various topics, the whole design were intended for a relaxation from study, rather than an ample exposition of an extraordinary and universal custom, which produced the most important effect upon the

minds and habits of mankind.”—Literary Gazette. 143 ENGLISH SURNAMES. A Series of Essays on Family

Nomenclature, Historical, Etymological, and Humorous ; with Chapters on Canting Arms, Rebuses, the Roll of Battel Abbey, a List of Latinized Surnames, &c., by MARK ANTONY LOWER, second edition, enlarged, post 8vo. pp. 292, with 20 woodcuts, cloth, 68

To those who are curious about their patronymic, it will be found a very instructive and amusing volume--mingling wit and pleasantry, with antiquarian research and historical interest.

“An instructive and amusing volume, which ought to be popular. Perhaps no subject is more curious than the history of proper names. llow few persons are there who have not on one occasion or other been struck with the singular names which have fallen under their own observation, and who have not sought for the information as to their origin? Yet we know of no work of any value, much more a popular work, which treats on the subject. Mr. Lower has written a very good and well-arranged book, which we can with confidence recommend to our

readers."- Archæologist. 144 APPLICATION of Heraldry to the illustration of various

146 A GENEALOGICAL and Heraldic History of the Extinct

SECOND EDITION, 638 closely printed pages, in double columns, with about 1000 arms engraved on wood, fine portrait of James I., and illuminated title-page, extra cloth, 10s (pub. at £1.8s)

This work, which has engaged the attention of the Authors for several years, comprises nearly a thousand families, many of them amongst the most ancient and eminent in the kingdom, each carried down to its representative or representatives still existing, with elaborate and minute details of the alliances, achievements, and fortunes, generation after generation, from the earliest to the latest period. The work is printed to correspond precisely with the last edition of Mr. Burke's Dictionary of the Existing Peerage and Baronetage; the armorial bearings are en. graved in the best style, and are incorporated with the text as in that

work. 147 PEDIGREES of the Nobility and Gentry of Hertfordshire,

by WILLIAM BERRY, late and for fifteen years Registering Clerk in the College of Arms, Author of the “ Encyclopædia Heraldica,” &c. &c. folio, (only 125 printed), boards, £3. 10s-reduced to £1. 58

“ These Collections of Pedigrees will be found of great utility, though not of sufficient proof in themselves to establish the claims of kindred set forth in them: but affording a ready clue to such necessary proof whenever it should be required, by pointing out the places of nativity, baptism, marriages, and burials, and such other legal documents, as localities will otherwise afford, and the modern entries in the Herald's College, are of no better authority, requiring the very same kind of proof for legal purposes. This observation wil perhaps silence the illnatured remarks which have emanated from that quarter: and it is selfevident that the printing of 250 copies is a much safer record than one manuscript entry there, which might easily be destroyed.”—Preface.
