The Deeds of Beowulf. An English Epic of the Eighth Century done into modern Prose. 12mo. $2.10.

The work of Professor Earle will always hold its place as of value to the scholar, and of pleasure to the general reader, while for one thing it will ever win peculiar honor that it is the best attempt since the time of Kemble to give us, in a literary form, the story of “The Deeds of Beowulf." - Daily Chronicle, March 16, 1892.

SYDNEY-England and the English in the Eighteenth Century. Chapters in the Social History of the Times. By WILLIAM CONNOR SYDNEY, F.R.S. 2 vols. 12mo. $5.00.

This is an interesting and valuable work, which will form a good supplement to the general histories of the period. As the author remarks in his preface, this is" an age which, in spite of its close proximity to that in which we live, and in spite of the many books which have been written to illustrate its history, is still, perhaps, more imperfectly known and understood than any of those to which it immediately succeeded." The reader must be more than ordinarily well informed in the social history of the period who can rise from a perusal of the book without frankly acknowledging the truth of this statement. - Literary World. EVELYN'S DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE, with the Private Correspondence of Charles I. and Sir Edward Nicholas, and between Sir Edward Hyde (afterwards Earl of Clarendon) and Sir Richard Browne. Edited from the original MSS. at Wotton by W. BRAY, F.A.S. 4 vols. Each $1.50. With Index (115 pages) and 45 Engravings.

No change of fashion, no alteration of taste, no revolution of science, have impaired, or can impair, the celebrity of Evelyn. His name is fresh in the land, and his reputation, like the trees of an Indian Paradise, exists, and will continue to exist, in full strength and beauty, uninjured by time. - Quarterly Review (Southey).

PEPYS' DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE.

Deciphered by the

Rev. J. SMITH, M.A., from the original Shorthand MS. in the Pepysian Library. Edited, with a short Life and Notes, by RICHARD Lord BRAY

BROOKE. 4 vols. Each $1.50. With Appendix and additional Letters,

an Index, and 31 Engravings.

HALL-Court Life Under the Plantagenets (Reign of Henry the Second). By HUBERT HALL, F.S.A., of H. M. Record Office. With five Coloured Plates in Fac-simile by Ralph Neville, F.S.A., and other illustrations. 8vo, cloth extra, $4.00.

I have attempted in this book nothing less than the delineation of living characters, and the description of existing institutions at a given period of a typical reign. Every person acted and spoke almost precisely as represented in this narrative, and every event took place in the exact time and in the exact manner described here, as far as a conscientious process, unsparing in research, has enabled me to discover the historical truth. - From the Preface. HALL - Society in the Elizabethan Age. By HUBERT HALL, F.S.A. With numerous Coloured and other Plates derived from Contemporary Drawings, and a large folding Coloured Map of London in the Sixteenth Century. 8vo, cloth extra, $3.00.

Students of the Elizabethan period may well rejoice in the recent addition to their libraries of Mr. Hubert Hall's highly interesting and most useful work. JOHN W. HALES in the Academy.
