NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

Messrs. MacMillan of Cambridge have commenced the publication of a series of theological manuals by _A History of the Christian Church_ (_Middle Age_), by Charles Hardwick, M.A.; which, although written for this series, claims to be regarded as an integral and independent treatise on the Mediaeval Church. The work, which extends from the time of Gregory the Great to 1520, when Luther, having been extruded from those churches that adhered to the communion of the Pope, established a provisional form of government, and opened a fresh era in the history of Europe, is distinguished by the same diligent research and conscientious acknowledgment of authorities which procured for Mr. Hardwick's _History of the Articles of Religion_ such a favourable reception. The work is illustrated by four maps, which have been especially constructed for it by Mr. A. Keith Johnston.

The amiable and accomplished author of _Proposals for Christian Union_, and of _Welsh Sketches_, has just issued the third and concluding series of his little volumes on Welsh history, civil and ecclesiastical. We have no doubt that the eight chapters of which it consists, and in which he treats of Edward the Black Prince, Owen Glyndwr, Prince of Wales, Mediaeval Bardism, and the Welsh Church, will be read with great satisfaction, not only by all sons of the Principality, but by all who look with interest on that portion of our island in which the last traces of our ancient British race and language still linger.

BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Journal of Sacred Literature_, No. IX. for October, continues to put forth strong claims to the support of those who have a taste for pure biblical literature. From the address of its new editor, it would seem not to be so well known as the object for which it is established plainly deserves.--_Cyclopaedia Bibliographica_, Part XIII. for October, continues its useful course. Every succeeding number only serves to prove how valuable the work will be when completed.--_The Shakspeare Repository_, edited by J. H. Fennell, No. III., is well worth the attention of our numerous Shakspearian readers.
