Chapter III: Part 3

Text size

But taking into consideration the peculiar construction of this sort of barometer, its flexible diaphragm supported from within against the pressure of the atmosphere, may not its name have been derived from [Greek: ana] (adversus), [Greek: aer] (aer), and [Greek: oidos] (tumor)?

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

_The Chronological New Testament, in which the Text of the Authorised Version is newly divided into Paragraphs and Sections, with the Dates and Places of Transactions marked, the Marginal Renderings of the Translators, many Parallel Illustrative Passages printed at length, brief Introductions to each Book, and a Running Analysis of the Epistles_, is another and most praiseworthy attempt "to make our invaluable English version more intelligible to devout students of the Word of God," by the various helps in arrangement and printing set forth in the ample title-page which we have just transcribed. All such endeavors to increase that "knowledge which maketh wise unto salvation" carry within themselves the elements of success; and we shall be the more glad to find that the present work meets with the patronage it deserves, as we may then look for the Old Testament on the same plan.

Those of our readers who remember the parallel which Bishop Ken drew between himself and

Bless'd Gregory, whose patriarchal height
Shed on the Eastern sphere celestial light,

and who may desire to read the life of him whom that great ornament of our Church chose for his model, will thank us for drawing their attention to _Gregory of Nazianzum--a Contribution to the Ecclesiastical History of the Fourth Century_, by Professor Ullman of Heidelberg, which has just been translated by Mr. G. V. Cox. The translator has for the present confined himself to that part of Dr. Ullman's volume which relates to the life of Gregory, and is therefore more attractive to the general reader; the dogmatic part, or the statements and examination of Gregory's theological opinions, being for the present withheld. In this we think Mr. Cox has done wisely, since we have no doubt that the present volume will be read with great interest by many who will gladly dwell upon the life and practice of this distinguished Father of the Church, but who would be turned aside from its perusal, from their unwillingness or inability to enter upon any such investigation as is implied in the critical examination of Gregory's theological opinions.

We have again to thank Dr. Latham for an important contribution towards a proper knowledge of our own tongue; and it would be difficult to point out a more successful combination of ethnological and philological knowledge than is exhibited in his newly-published _Hand-book of the English Language, for the Use of Students of the Universities and Higher Classes of Schools_. We cannot of course enter into any analysis of a work which is as replete with interest and amusement as it is with instruction; but we may point out as peculiarly deserving of attention the first part, which treats of the Germanic origin of the English language; and the second, which treats of its history and analysis. We are glad to see Dr. Latham's view of the Frisian share in the invasion of this country.

The commendations so universally bestowed upon Mr. Grant for the research, accuracy, and picturesque interest displayed in his _Memorials of the Castle of Edinburgh_, and his _Memoirs of Sir W. Kirkaldy of Grange_, may be extended to him for his _Memoirs and Adventures of Sir John Hepburn, Knight, Governor of Munich, Marshal of France under Louis XIII., and Commander of the Scots Brigade under Gustavus Adolphus_. He has on this, as on former occasions, the advantage of a new and interesting subject; and by grouping round his hero--whose conduct and bravery won for him the reputation of being esteemed the best of that warlike age, next to Gustavus himself--all the great leaders in that struggle for the liberties of Germany, the Thirty Years' War--he has produced a volume which will be read with great interest, not only for the picture it exhibits of the distinguished soldier of fortune who forms its immediate subject, but also for its record of the services of the Scottish troops who served in the German wars under Gustavus Adolphus.

_A Little Earnest Book upon a Great Old Subject_, in which Mr. Wilson endeavors to pourtray the thoughts and feelings of the poet, will be read with pleasure by all who agree with him that poetry rightly understood is associated with everything that is eternal and just, true and elevating, tender and loving. It is a little book of quaint and pleasant thoughts, quaintly got up, and beautifully illustrated.

Mr. Mitchell, of Bond Street, announces a beautifully illustrated work on _The Parables of our Saviour_, to be engraved in the line manner by the best artists from the designs of Franklin.

The Sales of Books, &c., those heralds of the coming winter, are beginning. Messrs. Puttick and Simpson commence this day a six days' sale of valuable books removed from the country, including many curious and rare works. On Monday Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson will commence their season by selling a portion of the valuable library of a gentleman deceased, which will occupy them for four days; and on Monday and the fifteen following days Messrs. Foster and Son will be engaged in the disposal of that matchless series of examples of Mediaeval Architecture, and of other objects of decorative art, remarkable alike for their beauty, rarity, and historical value, so long known as the _Cottingham Museum_.

MESSRS. PUTTICK and SIMPSON beg to announce that their season for SALES of LITERARY PROPERTY will COMMENCE on NOVEMBER 1st. In addressing Executors and others entrusted with the disposal of Libraries, and collections (however limited or extensive) of Manuscripts, Autographs, Prints, Pictures, Music, Musical Instruments, Objects of Art and Virtu, and Works connected with Literature, and the Arts generally, they would suggest a Sale by Auction as the readiest and surest method of obtaining their full value; and conceive that the central situation of their premises, 191. Piccadilly (near St. James's Church), their extensive connexion of more than half a century's standing, and their prompt settlement of the sale accounts in cash, are advantages that will not be unappreciated. Messrs. P. & S. will also receive small Parcels of Books or other Literary Property, and insert them in occasional Sales with property of a kindred description, thus giving the same advantages to the possessor of a few Lots as to the owner of a large Collection.

[Star symbol] Libraries Catalogued, Arranged, and Valued for the
Probate or Legacy Duty, or for Public or Private Sale.

Balance made for the adjustment of the Standard in 1758, a most
