NOTES ON BOOKS, &o.

Annals of the English Stage from Thomas Betterton to
Edmund Kean. By Dr. Doran, F.S.A. Edited and
revised by Robert W. Lowe. 3 vols. (Nimmo.)
To readers of N. & Q.' the works of Dr. Doran, with
their pleasant blending of antiquarian information and
social gossip, are well known. To a portion of them it
will be good news that the scarcest and the most popular
of these, the 'Annals of the Stage,' first published under
the characteristic title of Their Majesties' Servants,'
has now been reissued in an édition de luxe. During
many years this work, which has been greatly in request
with book illustrators, has been at a fancy price. It is
now, in an absolutely sumptuous form, brought within
reach of the reading public. Editor of 'N. & Q.' as he
was, Dr. Doran was not fully sensible to the truth of the
motto, "Always verify your quotations," which should
follow that famous and historic utterance of Capt.
Cuttle which now stands in solitary dignity on the title-
page. His work, accordingly, pleasant as it is to read,
is not wholly trustworthy. Its shortcomings in this
respect have been remedied by Mr. Robert W. Lowe,
one of the youngest and the most erudite of students of
stage history. With the minute and conscientious
fidelity of a herald, Mr. Lowe has gone over the pages of
'Their Majesties' Servants,' verifying quotations, supply-
ing references, and regulating and, if needs be, correct-
ing impetuosities of statement. This task Mr. Lowe has
discharged with commendable industry and acumen.
His notes are condensed and to the point. They appear
few and unobtrusive; they are, in fact, numerous and
important. We would fain have had them more, since,
large as is the amount of information Dr. Doran supplies,
it is far from exhaustive. New materials have of late

been brought within reach of the stage historian, and
information supplementary to that Dr. Doran has sup-
plied, especially with reference to the earliest actors,
would be welcome. A general index at the close of the
work is, moreover, preferable to the three indexes which
are affixed to the respective volumes.

THE Edinburgh Review for October opens with a carefully drawn and instructive picture of Rural France,' a country of which most of those who rush at express speed over the line of the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée have but the faintest conception. The outcome of the study here presented is that the peasant proprietor cannot be created at will, that he will not thrive on land which does not support rabbits, and that the métayer system is worthy of attention as a possible solution of some of the difficulties of the land question-"if there be implicit confidence between the landlord and his working partner." It may, perhaps, be asked whether this desirable and necessary confidence can itself be created, any more than The Ministry of Fine Art' the peasant proprietor. carries us over a wide field of history, and brings before us in picturesque succession the Roman palace at Woodchester, the very ancient Title of St. Pudentiana in the Eternal City, the Oriental magnificence of St. Mark's and of Monreale, and the more purely Western glories of Orvieto and Siena, and of Or San Michele in the City of Flowers. Prince Adam Czartoryski' is a name which calls up visions of a past when as yet the first partition of Poland had not taken place. Prince Adam Casimir was the national candidate for the uneasy crown of Poland against Stanislaus Poniatowski. His son, Prince Adam, the subject of the notice, was Russian Foreign Minister in 1803; in 1830 he was head of the Provisional Government of Warsaw, and thereafter an exile. Finis Polonia! In A Plea for Peace' the Edinburgh shows itself somewhat more optimistic as to the preservation of European peace than the general sense of uneasiness may seem to warrant. Si vis pacem, para bellum, would appear to be the favourite motto of more than one of the great powers.

THE Quarterly Review for October, in its consideration of the Catholic Revival in the Sixteenth Century,' gives high praise to Father Paul, the fragile ascetic student, the bibliotheca ambulans, who wrote the history of the Council of Trent, and at the same time to the Society of Jesus, whose establishment it credits with being "one of the capital facts in the history of the world." The importance of the Council of Trent is apt Meanwhile, the new edition has a decidedly antiquarian to be too much forgotten in these days, and the reviewer flavour. Its superb copper-plate portraits of actors, after has done well in emphasizing it. In the story of the life designs by Gainsborough, Reynolds, Zoffany, &c., some of Count Beust we are brought face to face with men of them drawn from curious and recondite quarters, and whose very names are a history in themselves-the executed in the highest style of art, are what will com"Citizen King." Louis Philippe, carving at his own mend the book to general approval. Even more precious dinner table, and carving badly; John of Saxony than these, however, are the woodcuts on Japanese paper angering Bismarck's royal master at Berlin as the very which serve for headpieces. Whence some of them were man whom he could not scold; Napoleon III., "undrawn is a matter of curiosity. Few of those best acquainted with the literature of the stage can have been prepared for war" when Beust would have had him let aware of the existence of many of these designs. To the slip the dogs, and we watch the dramatic struggle for first chapter is prefixed a beautifully executed design of German supremacy between Berlin and Vienna, decided at Sadowa. Among calmer subjects the Quarterly the Bear Garden. Successive chapters are headed by makes October its time of 'Roses, and has a suggestive the Swan Theatre as it appeared in 1614; the Globe, six-article on Dairy Produce, a topic involving questions of teenth century; the Fortune, sixteenth century; the Lincoln's Inn Fields, 1714; two views of the Duke's Theatre, Dorset Garden, 1662. Following designs present Colley Cibber, D'Avenant, Mrs. Centlivre, Steele, Barton Booth, Peg Woffington, and innumerable other actors. Theatres such as the old Haymarket, Drury Lane, the Theatres Royal, Edinburgh, Dublin, Ipswich, Norwich, &c., are given; and there are reproductions of pit checks, Milward's benefit ticket, drawn by Hogarth, and numerous other objects of no less interest. Difficult indeed is it to conceive a book of this class deserving higher praise or appealing to a larger public. It is pleasant to see an old favourite in so lovely and artistic a dress, and not less pleasant to think that the work is wholly English, and in design and execution owes nothing to a foreign source.

·

no little importance to those who, when they ask for milk, butter, or cheese, would like to be able to think that they get it but cannot. The article on the Suez Canal and the Egyptian Question' takes a very favour able view of the French position on that question, and thinks that we may shortly find ourselves obliged to adopt what it states as the French policy in Egypt.

To the series of privately printed opuscules, now rapidly augmenting in number, value, and interest, Mr. Edward Walford, M.A., has added In Memoriam Bro. Cornelius Walford, a short sketch of the literary life of his kins

man.

A full tribute is herein paid to the unflagging industry of Mr. Cornelius Walford, of whom a portrait is supplied. The interest of the volume extends outside the enterprising society to which the Messrs. Wal

ford belonged, but the strict limits of the issue place it within reach of few readers. It is gratifying to hear that the collections Mr. Walford made with a view to the issue of a 'Dictionary of Periodical Literature,' an enormous undertaking, are in the hands of Mr. J. P. Edmond, of Aberdeen, with a view to publication. Friends of Cornelius Walford who seek to possess the biography can apply to Mr. Walford, at Hyde Park Mansions.

MR. ALFRED WALLIS, of Exeter, has undertaken to complete a second series of the Angler's Note-Book' of the late Mr. Thomas Satchell. The work will be published by Mr. Elliot Stock.

MR. CHARLES J. CLARK, of Lincoln's Inn Fields, announces the "Index Library," a series of indexes and calendars to British records, edited by W. P. W. Philli more, M.A., B.C.L. The publication of this desirable series will be monthly, and will begin December 15.
