CORNISH COUNTY HISTORY. MACLEAN (Sir John, F.S.A.) PAROCHIAL AND FAMILY HISTORY OF

THE DEANERY OF TRIGG MINOR, in the County of Cornwall,

14 parts forming 3 vols. 4to. with numerous maps, plates, and woodcuts of Mansions, Monuments, Inscriptions, Archaeological Relics, etc. and many folding tables of Pedigrees,

For a short time only, a copy may be had in

parts at the original subscription price of £5. 145.; or, in cloth, £6. 6s.

1868-79

The future selling price will be £8. 8s.

Alike as a work of Family and Topographical History, and a learned contribution to English Archæology, the work is of high importance. Only a small number of copies was printed, of which there is now left but a fractional remainder. It will undoubtedly before long rise in value; not only from exhaustion by local purchasers but also by dispersion amongst the many book-lovers throughout the kingdom who take an interest in Cornwall. The Indexes of Names are very full and satisfactory.

The book begins with the Primeval and early Christian Monuments of the County, and then proceeds in monographs of Parishes as follows:- Blisland, Bodmin, St. Breward, Egloshayle, St. Endellion, Forrabury and Minster, Helland, St. Tudy, Tintagel and Trevalga, St. Teath and Temple, St. Minver, St. Mabyn and Michaelstowe, Lanteglos juxta Camelford and Advent, and Lesnewith, Lanowe alias St. Kew.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. TRAVELS IN THE PHILIPPINES,

BY

F. JAGOR,

sm. 8vo. 370 pp. with numerous woodcut illustrations and a map (pub. at 16s), cloth, new, 7s 6d

1875

There is

A small book, but one of considerable interest and importance. no other work in the English language, of an exhaustive or comprehensive. character, upon the Philippine Islands. Yet these islands present features of attraction for Great Britain, the mother of many colonies, as the last remnant of the colonial rule of another nation once the mistress of the largest colonial empire in the world. The hold of Spain upon Cuba is already slackening, but the Philippines are still a rich ornament firmly set in the crown of Castile; and they yield an ample return for the puny pains that are taken in their cultivation and government. But the resources of the colony are in fact in a very backward state of development; while from the geographical position and the natural capabilities of the islands, they ought to be the source of boundless wealth and prosperity, in vigorous hands.

The patient and laborious research of the author, his copious collection of statistics, his additions to our geographical knowledge of the subject, and his sound views regarding Spanish rule and the future of the Philippine Islands, make his book one of singular merit and interest. The ethnologist, the philological scholar, the geographer, the student of the philosophical history of Colonisation, the political economist, and the statesman, no less than the votary of Natural History and the acute mercantile man, will all find matter to concern them and provoke reflection in these "Travels in the Philippines"a modest title for a book which must take its place amongst the standard monographs of topographical history.

HIGDEN POLYCRONICON, in whiche book ben comprised briefly many wonderful Historyees ... after the composynge and gaderynge of Dan Ranulph [Hygden] ... Englisshed by one Trevisa Vycarye of Barkley . . . emprynted and sette in forme by me William Caxton . . . stout small folio, eleven preliminary leaves, and twentyseven at the end deficient, otherwise a large and sound copy, with the two original blank leaves in signature 1, which are excessively rare, £112 Fynysshed per Caxton, 1482

With the signature of William Fothergill, 1565, on one of the blank leaves. The twenty-seven leaves missing at the end are replaced by twenty-one leaves of MS. in Fothergill's handwriting; from which it is evident that we have the book in the same condition in which it was found more than three centuries ago. It has remained since then, in the binding of the time, undisturbed in the obscurity of an old English library.
