NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

If any of the readers of Mr. Hudson Turner's volume on Domestic Architecture have been under the apprehension that the death of that able antiquary would necessarily lead, if not to the abandonment of that work, to its being completed in a more imperfect manner than Mr. Turner would have completed it, we can assure them that such apprehension is entirely groundless. We have now before us the second part, entitled _Some Account of Domestic Architecture in England from Edward I. to Richard II., with Notices of Foreign Examples, and numerous Illustrations of existing Remains from original Drawings. By the Editor of the Glossary of Architecture._ The editing of the work is indeed most creditable to Mr. Parker, who, though he modestly confesses that if he had not known that he could safely calculate upon much valuable assistance from others more competent than himself, he would never have ventured to undertake it at all, had already given proof of his fitness for the task by the _Glossary of Architecture_ with which his name has been so long and so honourably connected. The work, which supplies a deficiency which the architectural student has {346} long felt, is produced in the same handsome style, and with the same profuseness of illustration, as its predecessor, and will be found valuable not only to archæologists who study history in brick and stone, but also to those who search in the memorials of bygone ages for illustrations of manners and customs, and of that greater subject than all, the history of our social progress.

BOOKS RECEIVED.--_History of England from the Peace of Utrecht to the Peace of Versailles_, 1713--1783, by Lord Mahon, vol. ii. 1720--1740. This second volume of the new and cheaper edition of Lord Mahon's work extends from the accession of Walpole and Townshend to office in 1720, to the Declaration of War against Spain in 1739, and contains a valuable appendix of original papers.--_The Annals of Roger de Hoveden, from_ A.D. 732 _to_ A.D. 1201, _translated from the Latin, with Notes and Illustrations_, by Henry T. Riley. Vol. I. A.D. 732 to A.D. 1180, is a new volume of the valuable series of Translations of Early English Chronicles, which is to give so important a character to Bohn's _Antiquarian Library_.--_Thomas à Becket and other Poems_, by Patrick Scott. Notices of new poems scarcely fall within our vocation, but Mr. Scott is a true poet, and we cannot refuse to praise the present volume, and more especially the little poem which owes its origin to the notice of the opening of the coffin of Lady Audrey Leigh in our 156th Number.--_The Family Shakspeare, &c._, by Thomas Bowdler, Vol. V. This fifth volume contains Troilus and Cressida, Coriolanus, Julius Cæsar, Antony and Cleopatra, and Cymbeline.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

_We hope next week, in addition to many other interesting articles, to lay before our readers a copy of a remarkable and inedited Proclamation of Henry VIII. on the subject of the Translation of the Scriptures; and some specimens of the_ Rigby Correspondence.

HERCULES. _The custom (which we hope does not very generally obtain) of sending green ribbons, called willows, tied round bridal cards, to rejected suitors of the bride, is no doubt derived from that alluded to by Shakspeare and Herrick, and especially Fuller, who tell us the willow "is a sad tree, whereof such as have lost their love make their mourning garments."_

ROBIN HOOD. _A Subscriber would be obliged by_ H. K. (Vol. vi., p. 597.) _giving a precise reference to the Act of the Scotch Parliament prohibiting "the plays and personages of Robin Hood." &c._
