been speedily required, and certain that its appearance in a form at once legible and portable will commend it to a largely increased circle of readers. The Wisdom of Edmund Burke: Extracts from his Speeches and Writings. Selected and Arranged by Edward Alloway Pankhurst. (Murray.) To the general reader, to whom it may be supposed the time or the disposition to read Edmund Burke will be wanting, this series of well-arranged extracts will bring a knowledge of one of the most profound thinkers of England. All that need be advanced in favour of the book is urged in the assertion that it is well named. London Rambles "en Zigzag" with Charles Dickens. By Robert Allbut. (Drewett.) A NEW and cheap edition of a work which to a visitor to London adds greatly to the attraction of a walk through familiar thoroughfares and adjacent by-ways, has been issued by Mr. Drewett, with reproductions of some of his illustrations of old London. Book-Lore. Vol. IV.-June to November, 1886. (Stock.) THE latest volume of Book-Lore is disappointing. The articles, as a rule, are short and of no great importance. Some of them are extracted from well-known sources, and the verse is poorer in quality than the prose. From this condemnation the article by Mr. John Davies on The Adarno of Giovanni Soranze' escapes. It would surely be better to have more signed articles. The New Peerage, by G. E. C. (in the Genealogist, N.S., vol. ii.), continues its useful and interesting course, and deserves more than the few words in which we must compress our sense of gratitude to its editor. The portion included within the volume of the Genealogist for 1885 contains titles of great historic interest in the peerages of the three kingdoms, and involves the discussion of points of no slight difficulty in genealogy and peerage law. G. E. C.'s hope that the "full and lucid" history of the great Anglo-Norman house of De Albini, which, as he truly says, "has yet to be written," may be undertaken by Mr. Chester Waters, commands our entire sympathy. We observe that, under Arundel, G. E. C. speaks of the alternative use of the name of De Arundel by the Fitzalans as affording a singular instance of the adoption of the name of the dignity as a surname. This may be true of the English, but it would certainly not be true of the Scottish, peerage. The very same portion of G. E. C.'s work contains the title of Athol, the earliest surname of whose bearers known to us was De Atholia. So we have Lennox, Menteith, Mar, and others of the seven earldoms, giving name as well as title to the ancient Celtic houses which held those earldoms. Speaking generally, we may say that the notes by the learned editor are full of literary and bibliographical details, as well as of points of interest, raised by way of criticism or suggestion, as to the creation and devolution of titles. We shall look forward with interest to the next instalment of the 'New Peerage,' in the Genealogist for 1886. MESSES. CROSBY LOCKWOOD & Co. have issued an elementary French grammar and reader by Dr. V. de Fivas, M.A., which is simple, well arranged, and has a good Vocabulary. IN Cassell's "National Library" has been included a good, well printed, and very cheap reprint of A Christmas Carol' and 'The Chimes,' by Charles Dickens. THE latest book catalogue of Mr. U. Maggs, of Church Street, Paddington, contains, in addition to many works, topographical and other, Mr. Solly's set of N. & Q., with the rare early indexes. AT the meeting of the Royal Society of Literature, on December 19, Dr. Douglas Lithgow, F.S.A., read an interesting paper on Herrick, to whom he assigned the first place, as a strictly lyrical poet, between the period of Henry V. and a century ago; and the Foreign Secretary, Mr. C. H. E. Carmichael, M.A., read the graphic in memoriam to the late Dr. Ingleby, contributed by Dr. H. Howard Furness to the October number of Shakespeariana. Notices to Correspondents. We must call special attention to the following notices: ON all communications must be written the name and address of the sender, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. We cannot undertake to answer queries privately. To secure insertion of communications correspondents must observe the following rule. Let each note, query, or reply be written on a separate slip of paper, with the signature of the writer and such address as he wishes to appear, Correspondents who repeat queries are requested to head the second communication "Duplicate." SELRUISSEAU ("Be the day weary, be the day long," &c.).-These lines, apparently proverbial, occur in many places, and are given in different forms. In John Heywood's Dialogue concerning English Proverbs,' the form is Yet is he sure, be the daie neuer so long, Euermore at laste they ring to euensong. It is given differently in Hawes's Pastime of Pleasure," and differently again in Ray's 'Proverbs.' There is no authoritative version. SAMUEL EVANS, of Columbia, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, U.S., wishes to correspond with descendants of Barnabas Hughes, who in 1748 or 1749 quitted Donegal for Pennsylvania, and of his wife Elizabeth, née Waters.
