Hackett, acknowledged himself deluded, and wrote THE BISHOPS YONGE OF ROCHESTER (5th S. ix. 27, 111.)-I am induced by MR. WOODWARD's note to ask whether further information can be given respecting the two bishops. From what family or families were they descended? Burke gives the coat, "Per saltire, az. and gu., a lion pass. guard. or," as having been granted by Dethick to "Young, Bishop of Rochester," and not as having been confirmed by him with an augmentation. If this statement be correct, those arms must have been granted to the second Bishop Yonge, Dethick's contemporary; but, if MR. WOODWARD'S account of the arms be the right one, is not a relationship between the two prelates proved by the sameness of their armorial bearings? It is worthy of notice that about the time of the first Bishop Yonge there was a family of that name resident at Bryn Yorkyn, co. Flint, and descended from Tudor Trevor, Lord of Hereford, of which was Morgan le Yonge, who bore "Gu., a toison or." S. G.

The little poem of which the above is the first line is in Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia, bk. iii. (edit. 1674), p. 357. Two of the three stanzas of which the poem consists are included in Mr. Palgrave's Golden Treasury. Mr. Palgrave in his preface says that the few instances in which he has omitted anything from a lyric are specified in the notes; but he has not always kept to this rule. There is no mention of the omission of the last verse in the of a stanza in Wordsworth's lines suggested by a picture above-mentioned poem of Sidney's, nor of the omission of Peel Castle in a storm.

A Historical and Speculative Exposition. By Rev. Joseph IT says a good deal for the zest with which the LanMiller, B.D.

We much fear that few parishes south of "Principium quod" and the "Principium quo," and the dangers of Docetic and Monarchian leanings, however orthodox the lecturer might be. We hope that Mr. Miller will be encouraged to continue his work, of which the present volume is properly but the first instalment. dealing only with the first five Articles. His method of printing the Latin and English texts in parallel columns, with a foot-note embodying the source and the theological bearing of each Article, is very commendable. We observe that at p. 87 Mr. Miller appears to call the title "Theotokos" a "Eutychian or Monophysite heresy," and he is somewhat hard, it seems to us, on Monarchianism. For he does not point out that there is a sense in which the Eastern Church is strongly Monarchian, as any one who remembers or has studied the discussions at BREAD AND SALT (5th S. ix. 48, 138.)-The the last Bonn Conference would recognize. But of custom of giving to a baby, on its first visit to a course the sense in which Oriental Churchmen press the friend's house, bread, salt, an egg, and a silver one 'Apxy is a sense not contradictory to the procession coin, with occasionally a packet of sugar, is still of the Spirit through the Son, as the language of their observed in the West Riding of Yorkshire (Don-like some of Mr. Miller's terminology, which is often own doctors testifies.

STRANGEWAYS. The Romans of Britain. By Henry Charles Coote, F.S.A. (F. Norgate.) SIKES AND SYKES (5th S. viii. 468; ix. 154.)-WE wish heartily to recommend this book to the notice Six is, I suppose, another form of this name. of our readers because, as a repertory of facts, it is inJames Six, Esq., F.R.S., was a very distant con- valuable, and because it takes up a phase of early Engnexion of mine. He published, as I see from Alli-lish history which should not by any means be lost sight of. The author explains in his preface that the present bone, two or three small scientific papers. His work is a recension of his Neglected Fact in English only son, James Six, Fellow of Trin. Coll., Cam., History; and we feel sure that those who know this little book will hasten to procure the larger one now before us. We are not, however, prepared to accept all Mr. Coote's conclusions, for to a great extent they are the conclusions of an advocate, and a powerful one, rather than of an impartial historian. With an ingenuity which is certainly remarkable he labours to prove, not only that English institutions are the lineal descendants of Roman institutions, but that Englishmen are descendants of a Roman population which once occupied Britain-a population made up of Latins and Latinized Belgic-Teutons. The fact of calling ourselves by a Teutonic name, English, goes for nothing with Mr. Coote -nay, is a positive error of about 1,300 years' standing. Mr. Coote complains of the excessive Teutonism of those historians who differ from him, and we, on the other hand, are inclined to complain of his excessive Romanism. He claims almost all our early history as in reality being, not English, but Roman. We think he claims too much, and does not pay sufficient attention to those scholars who can see our Teutonic element in our speech, in our land communities, and in our popular local institutions. But having said this much, we must bear favourable testimony to the real value of his researches. Let us particularly note the section devoted to municipalities. The details he supplies in support of his theory are numerous and, as a rule, accurate. This makes us the more surprised to find that on p. 267 he rests his assertion, that the hide already existed in Cornwall when that part of the country was first conquered by the AngloSaxons, upon a charter in the Codex Diplomaticus granting three mansa, not hida, situate at Lesmanaoc and Pennarth, neither of which places can, so far as we know, be identified with modern localities. Does Mr. Coote identify them? Again, on p. 465, he founds the force of an argument, which to us seems quite capable of standing on its own merit, upon the fact of a charter of King Ethelbyrht not being dated, whereas upon turning to his reference we find that it bears date April 28, 604. In a book so full of valuable details such items as these must be considered in the light of blemishes. A few printer's errors should be corrected in a future edition, which is certain to be called for, and it should be noted that the title of Mr. Kemble's Saxons in England is wrongly given on p. 231. The Place of Iceland in the History of European Institutions. Being the Lothian Prize Essay for 1877. By C. A. V. Conybeare, B.A. (Oxford and London, Parker.) THE age which saw the colonization of Iceland by Norsemen seeking a refuge from the "overbearing of King Harold" was one of great activity throughout the whole Scandinavian race. Athens and Byzantium saw their keels and battle-axes no less than did fair Neustria and remote Thule. Light was the hair and bright were the cheeks of Jarl, the typical ancestor of the free man of noble birth among the Northern folk, who stood so high among men, and bore himself so doughtily, that between the earl and the king there was in those days a difference in little more than name. Therefore, in speaking of the "Republic" of Iceland, we must be careful to bear in mind that under that designation is comprised a state of society not antagonistic to that of other portions of the Scandinavian race, but itself the older form of that society in its purity, as it existed before the "overbearing of King Harold," with such local differences as the special circumstances of Iceland called forth. It is a picture well worth studying, were it only for the sake of the great jurist Njál and his noble life, so nobly spent for his country. Mr. Conybeare has treated an interesting subject carefully and with general moderation of tone. The real lesson which Icelandic history seems to us to teach is the danger of an excessive reverence for the letter of the law as contrasted with its spirit, or, as we might put it, the danger of a system of law untempered by equity. Some of the wellknown general features of the history which Mr. Cony. beare relates might with advantage have been abridged to make room for the expansion of this thesis, which he perceives but does not develope.
