... This is a Volume of the "Sunday Library for Household Reading," and gives the lives of Saint Louis (1215-1270) and Calvin (1509-1564) from the view of Guizot, who was "born a Protestant, and who from the experience of life as well as the study 'of history was more and more confirmed in the faith of his forefathers."

He wrote the lives of St. Louis and St. Vincent de Paul (1576-1660) as "two great "and noble Christians," and of Calvin and Du Plessis Mornay (1549–1623) among the Protestants as "presenting like characteristics and deserving an equal glory.”

H., H. [Pseud.] [Jackson, Mrs. Helen Maria (Fiske Hunt)] (1831[703] 1885).-RAMONA. A Story. Boston: Roberts Brothers.

1886. I2mo. Cloth.

... The interest in this volume is due to its earnest presentation of the treatment of the Indians, by the United States Government, in the same manner as Mrs. Stowe in her Uncle Tom's Cabin placed before the world the position of the slaves from her point of view. This was the last important work written by Mrs. Jackson, and nearly all the incidents were taken from life.

The story of the Temecula removal and the death of Alessandro, as they appear in Ramona, will be found in the "Report of the Mission Indians."

Haig, Axel Herman.-MONT SAINT-MICHEL: An Etching. Lon[705] don: Robert Dunthorne. 1882. Large 8vo. Paper.

A short descriptive pamphlet, printed in black letter, giving a résumé of the twelve conflagrations, sieges, and great events which have at one time made havoc and have at another led to more and more excellent renovations on this remarkable rocksometimes a Church-sometimes a State Prison-once turned into a "House of Cor"rection, but happily now being excellently restored." In 1874 it was declared "an "historical monument."

The Order of St. Michael was instituted here on Aug. 1, 1469, by Louis XI. in the Hall of the Chevaliers: Here was preserved, for a long period, the Iron Cage, eight

feet square, in which Cardinal Balue and later Madame de Maintenon's assailer, Victor de la Castagne, or Dubourg, were confined, one for nearly eleven and the other for 23 years. The History of Mont Saint-Michel is a stirring story covering nearly 1000 years. A monastery was founded upon it as early as the eighth century by St. Aubert, Bishop of Avranches.

At the end are notices of a companion Etching of Chartres Cathedral.

Hakluyt, Richard (circa 1553–1616).—Principal, THE, Naviga[707] tions, Voyages, Traffiques, and Discoveries of The English Nation. Collected by Richard Hakluyt, Preacher, and Edited by Edmund Goldsmid. Edinburgh: E. & G. Goldsmid. 1885, etc. 1885, etc. Demy 4to. Half morocco, top edges gilt, rest uncut. Illust. Vol. I. p. 367 and (to Vols. II., III., and IV.) Vol. IV. p. 352. Indexes, Vol. I. pp. 347-366 and (separate Indexes to Vols. II., III., and IV.) Vol. IV. pp. 307-350. [In course of publication.]

This is a new Edition, proposed to be completed in 15 volumes, of which six complete volumes only have been published to the present time [March, 1888]. This is a copy of an Édition de Luxe limited to 100 copies.

A new Edition, carefully prepared and edited, has been an acknowledged desideratum for nearly 150 years. This is a union of the features of the first and second Editions of 1589 and 1598-1600, respectively.

The original Edition of 1589 included nearly 220 Voyages. The Second Edition included in Vol. I. (published 1598), Voyages to the North and North-East, in 109 separate narratives, from Arthur's Expedition to Norway in A. D. 517 to the Expedition to Cadiz in the reign of Elizabeth. Vol. II. (1599) treated of Voyages to the South and South-East, beginning with that of the Empress Helena to Jerusalem in A. D. 337, and contained 165 separate narratives. Vol. III. (1600) commenced with

the "Discovery of the West Indies in 1170 by Madoc, Prince of Wales," and contained 243 different narratives.

This present Edition is first to comprise the 517 narratives contained in the Second Edition (verbatim) with the Voyage to Cadiz, which was suppressed by Queen Elizabeth after the disgrace of the Earl of Essex, and then the voyages contained in the original Edition of 1589 which were omitted in the second. These are to be followed by Hakluyt's "Divers voyages touching the Discoverie of America," the "His"tory of the Conquest of Terra Florida," and the "Historie of the West Indies, con"taining the acts and adventures of the Spaniards."

The present Editor has "grouped together those voyages which relate to the same "parts of the globe, instead of adopting the somewhat haphazard arrangement of the "original Edition." An English Translation follows each Latin section.

Vol. I., "Northern Europe," contains "Map of the North from Jakob Ziegler's "Schondia Strasburg, 1532": Facsimiles of the Portraits of Elizabeth and of Walsingham, taken from Burnet's "History of the Reformation:" Facsimile of the Title- Page of 1599: "Dedication to the First Edition, To Sir Francis Walsingham” (pp. 3–8): Hakluyt's Preface to the First Edition (pp. 9–15): Dedication to the Second Edition (pp. 16-22): Preface to the Second Edition and Dedicatory Poems, etc. (pp. 23–44). Vol. II., "North-Eastern Europe and adjacent Countries: Part I.," contains the narratives (pp. 5–213) relating to Tartary.

Vol. III. forms Part II. of "North-Eastern Europe and adjacent Countries,” and relates to "The Muscovy Company and the North-Eastern Passage." It has a Frontispiece Portrait of Sir Hugh Willoughby, after the painting in the Great Picture Hall at Greenwich.

Vol. IV. forms Part III. of "North-Eastern Europe and adjacent Countries,” and includes the second section of the" Muscovy Company and the North-Eastern Passage." Vol. V. treats of the Voyages, etc., in "Central and Southern Europe."

Vol. VI. comprises "Madeira and the Canaries; Ancient Asia, Africa, etc." Chancellor's Voyage to Muscovy (Vol. III. pp. 52–72) is reprinted by the same publishers in the Bibliotheca Curiosa (Vol. X.).(6) I, and it is interesting to note the wide differences in the two translations.

Hasse's pamphlet, De Moneta Russica (Vol. III. pp. 93–96), contains nearly two pages more matter, treating of the commodities of the country, etc., than the reprint of this tract as given in the Bibliotheca Curiosa (Vol. X.).(6) 2.

Watreman's Translation of the Fardle of Facions (Vol. VI. pp. 31-180) is reprinted in the Bookworm's Garner. The translation (originally published in 1555) was not included in the 1598-1600 Edition of Hakluyt, but formed part of the Supplement in the small 4to. Edition issued in 1812.

Oldys, in the "British Librarian" (pp. 136-158), gives an excellent analysis of the Contents of Hakluyt. "That work,” he says, “redounds as much to the Glory of the English Nation as any Book that ever was published in Hakluyt."
