fordshire and also in Shropshire. Shakespeare into Germany. Aymer was a near relation of Edward II., employs it. Rosalind remarks :—

"Make the door upon a woman's wit and it will out at the casement; shut that and 'twill fly out at the keyhole."As You Like It,' IV. i. 162-4.

F. C. BIRKBECK TERRY.

Make in North Lincolnshire means to fasten a gate or door. I constantly hear sentences such as the following:

"Mak' that there yate efter thee, or we shall hev all them there pigs i' th' gardin.'

"Noo, Sarah Jane, how ofens hev I hed to tell yer to mak' that door efter thee when thou goäs oot."

EDWARD PEACOCK.

Dunstan House, Kirton-in-Lindsey. Make, in the above phrase, is used in the same sense when a servant "makes" the bed, i.e., puts it in order. MR. BIERLEY well recalls it, how. ever, that "to make a house" has also a meaning in Parliamentary language, viz., to secure the attendance of a sufficient number of members to make a quorum. The meaning is, of course, as in his own phrase, to see that everything is safe and in order. WILLIAM GEORGE BLACK.

As an addition to my note I hope you will allow me to say Shakespeare uses the verb in the sense of "to secure in 'Com. of Errors,' III. i. 93:

And doubt not, sir, but she will well excuse
Why at this time the doors are made against you.

NOTES ON BOOKS, &c.

Calendar of the Close Rolls preserved in the Public Record Office. Prepared under the superintendence of the Deputy- Keeper of the Records. Edward II., A.D. 1313-1318. (Stationery Office.)

THIS important volume of 750 pages appears with but a few lines of preface, informing us that the text is due to Mr. W. H. Stevenson, and that the index has been compiled by Mr. C. H. Woodruff. Every student who has occasion to use the volume will be deeply grateful to both these gentlemen. We wish an introduction had been given explaining the general character of the documents here calendared.. A few antiquaries know what kinds of documents were entered on the Close Rolls; but many who will use the book for topographical and genealogical purposes will, if we mistake not, be not a little surprised at the very varied nature of its contents. The Close Rolls of the Plantagenet times may indeed be described, without any great inaccuracy, as the royal letter-books, wherein copies were kept of the king's correspondence. So miscellaneous are their contents that it is not easy to specify what things you may not find there.

Some of the missives sent to foreign potentates are highly important state papers. There is one, dated May 10, 1317, written from Windsor to King Philip of France, requesting_bim to procure the release of Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, who had been siezed near Étampes by a certain John ́la Moiliere and carried off

and was returning from the Papal Court, where he had been on the king's business. How manifold must have been the dangers to be encountered by the ordinary pilgrim when one of the most powerful of English nobles, no doubt accompanied by a strong retinue, could thus be swooped down upon and held to ransom.

The danger was, we apprehend, even greater on the sea. On February 15 in the same year the king writes to the Count of Flanders complaining that a subject of his, Hugh de Haldanby, mariner, had lately loaded a ship called La Welyfar at Barton-on-Humber with malt and other victuals of the value of a hundred pounds, for the purpose of taking it to the king's garrison at Berwick-on-Tweed; but that on his way he was attacked by certain Flemings, who carried off not only the cargo, but the vessel also. The Humber was infested by pirates as late as the time of Henry VIII. We had no idea, however, that plundering merchants was so common a practice in the early years of the fourteenth century as this volume shows it to have been. There are upwards of sixty entries of letters concerning attacks made upon merchants.

Many of our readers are no doubt familiar with the riotous proceedings which occurred in the seventeenth deavour to drain the great level of Hatfield Chase. Riotcentury consequent on Sir Cornelius Vermuyden's ening was not a new thing to the men of those parts. In 1315 we have a pardon granted to a great number of Isle of Axholme men who had been convicted of "disseisin" of Richard, son of Ralphe de Wrote, of a tenement in Wroot. The names of these turbulent persons are given. The same patronymics are found in the neighbouring villages at the present time.

Attempt at a Catalogue of the Library of the late Prince Louis-Lucien Bonaparte. By Victor Collins. (Sotheran & Co.)

WHAT is modestly described as an attempt at a catalogue of the marvellous philological library of Prince LouisLucien Bonaparte has been issued by Messrs. Sotheran. A collection such as is described in its seven to eight hundred pages is presumably unique, and the catalogue must remain priceless to those engaged in studies kindred to those in which the prince's heart and head were engaged. A synopsis, which prefaces the work, conveys an idea of the unparalleled treasures which are contained in it. It is the wish of the Princess that the library should remain intact and be sold en bloc. Competitors for a library so monumental are not likely to be numerous. Such may, however, obtain orders to view by application to Mr. Victor Collins, the compiler, at 11, Cleveland Road, Barnes.

The Genealogist's Guide. By George W. Marshall, LL.D., Rouge Croix. (Privately printed.) WE hardly know how to criticize this most useful book of genealogical reference, except by saying that it contains far more references than were to be found in the previous edition, and that, so far as we have been able to test it, these references are accurate. This shows marvellous industry in preparing the manuscript and also in correcting the proofs. We have no idea how many references to pedigrees there are in the volume, but to us it seems, in turning over the pages, that almost every book in the language containing tabular pedigrees has been indexed. A compilation of this kind must have been a labour of love and the work of years. We do not believe that any other country possesses so noble a key to the genealogies of its people as Mr. Marshall has supplied us with.

MR. GLADSTONE gives, in the Nineteenth Century, five specimens of the translations of Horace on which he is

ence.

in some respects, with continuations of works of imagi nation. Ditas' and 'The Cliff Climbers' are both excellent.-An eminently interesting number of Temple Bar is accompanied by a hundredth volume of the magazine, giving an index to the titles of all the articles which have appeared in the magazine up to now. Heartily do we congratulate Messrs. Bentley upon the success of their venture, which now, its jubilee accomplished, is fresh, vigorous, edifying, and delightful as ever. The index will, of course, greatly facilitate referIn the present number Vauvenargues is depicted under the head Voltaire's Favourite Moralist.' 'Horace Walpole' is also the subject of a capable and readable paper. Quotation' may also be read with interest.Miss Elizabeth Lee, in the Gentleman's, deals with Frances Wright,' the first woman lecturer, and Mr. Percy Fitzgerald with 'Dickens Curios,'-A, K. H. B. sends to Longman's an excellent account of Hugh Pearson.' Mr. Grant Allen has an article, equally entertaining and instructive, on The Beginnings of Speech.' Mr. Austin Dobson's 'Apologia pro Scriptis suis' is a short and characteristic poem.-' Hachisch Eating,' in the Cornhill, gives the results of personal experiments. Toft and Croft' is philological. The Last Governor of the Bastille' supplies an account of the Comte de Launay.-Lord Wolseley's Life of Marlborough' is reviewed at some length in Belgravia.

CASSELL'S Storehouse of General Information, Part L., ends at " Poppy," and has important articles on "Platinum" and "Political Economy."-Cassell's Gazetteer, Part VIII., extends from Bristol to Bushey Park, and has a map of Lancashire and Cheshire.

known to be occupied. Those now given are announced
as Love Odes,' a description which scarcely applies to
"Uxor pauperis Ibyce." Asking whether Indian princes
shall eit in the House of Lords, the Earl of Meath
supplies an answer in the affirmative. Mr. George F.
Parker, the United States consul in Birmingham, gives
an encouraging account of Intellectual Progress in the
United States. In architecture, the writer holds, amazing
progress has been made, and literary progress has, he
asserts, been "rapid and continuous." In his' Aspects
of Tennyson,' Mr. Traill deals with the ex-Laureate as a
humourist. On this side, even, Mr. Traill finds something
favourable to say. A certain lambent humour does,
indeed, distinguish the late Laureate. Mr. Traill credits
him, in his view of life and mankind, with humour rich
and full bodied. Prof. Mahaffy deals with Recent
Archaeology. Mr. J. H. Round deplores, in The Eng-
lish Libro d'Oro,' the decay of English historical families,
concerning which he writes in terms far different from
those to which we are growing accustomed. Mr. Rees
depicts Life in a Russian Village,' and Mrs. Costello
deals with The New and the Old Art Criticism.'-
The Fortnightly, which puts in a rather tardy appear-
ance, contains, among other articles, papers by Grant
Allen on The Origin of Cultivation,' by Mr. Archer on
'Some Recent Plays,' by Mr. W. Roberts on Stamp
Collecting,' and by Mr. Frederic Carrel on English and
French Manners.'-In the New Review Mr. W. Graham,
under the head 'Keats and Severn,' gives a very interesting
account of the relationship between Keats and Shelley and
that between Keats and Byron, thrusts his knife rather
savagely into Leigh Hunt, and conveys an excellent idea
of the character and aims of Keats. Sir Herbert Max-
well deals with 'London Trees,' and shows how much
ignorance and neglect have to do with ineffectual and
stunted growth. He tells what trees are best suited to
the climate, if such it can be called, of London. Mr.
Henniker Heaton has much that is of interest to say on
"Telephones.' Lady Jeune writes on Our Domestic
Servants.'-The Century opens with a plate of 'La Ber-
noise,' by Dagnan-Bouveret. A memoir of the same
sincerest of artists follows, and is accompanied by repro-
ductions of many of his best-known works, including
"Breton Women at the Pardon,' The Conscripts, and
The Consecrated Bread.' The Capture of the Slave-toire naturelle."
ship Cora' is excellent, both as regards letterpress and
illustrations. Mr. Brander Matthews writes on Book-
bindings of the Past,' and reproduces many book covers
by Clovis Eve and other well-known binders.
• Con-
trasts of English and American Scenery' is scarcely
ingenuous. Reminiscences,' by Mr. Bailey Aldrich, is
delightful.-In Scribner's Some Episodes of Moun-
taineering' takes away the breath of the non-mountaineer,
and has many portraits of noted guides. The American
Congo,' as Mr. John G. Bourke calls the Rio Grande del
Norte, is accompanied by clever sketches of Mexican
character and scenery. Only less appalling than moun-
taineering episodes is the account of the white mountain
goat. Working Girls' Clubs' describes at some length,
and with numerous illustrations, an American institu-
tion that is not, as yet, familiar this side the Atlantic.
-The English Illustrated has a capital account of
Robert Louis Stevenson at Vailima, Samoa,' with many
pictures of Mr. Stevenson and his surroundings. 'An
Idyll of the Ice,' by Grant Allen, is stimulating. 'May
Day Sports' has a pleasant antiquarian flavour, and
reproduces many good pictures, A Post Office Warrior'
is a story of heroism from our naval records. Mr. An-
drew Lang sends to Macmillan's an "up to date" paper
on 'The Last Fight of Joan of Arc,' showing the full
import of some recent statements concerning the maid.
'A Discourse of Sequels' deals agreeably, but mistakenly,

MR. T. CANN HUGHES writes to say that since his article on 'Civic Insignia for Manchester' (ante, p. 325) was written some changes have been made, and matters of detail, correct at the time when he wrote, are now not wholly accurate.

M. REBIERE, 112, Boulevard Arago, Paris, states that he has "préparé un livre intitulé Mathématiciennes et autres Savantes. Il recevra avec reconnaissance les documents et les notes sur les travaux et les idées des femmes en philosophie, en mathématiques, en physique, et en his

CONTRIBUTIONS to a BALLAD HISTORY of Chancery-lane, E.C.

ENGLAND.

Atheneum:-"These ballads are spirited and stirring: such are 'The Fall of Harald Hardrada,'' Old Benbow,' 'Marston Moor,' and 'Corporal John,' the soldier's name for the famous Duke of Marlborough, which is a specially good ballad. 'Queen Eleanor's Vengeance' is a vividly told story. Coming to more modern times, The Deeds of Wellington,' Inkerman,' and 'Balaklava' are excellently well said and sung. As a book of ballads, interesting to all who have British blood in their veins, Dr. Bennett's contribution will be welcome. Dr. Bennett's Ballads will leave a strong impression on the memory of those who read them." CHATTO & WINDUS, Piccadilly.
