The biographical entries, on the other hand, are for the most part, in our judgment, far too slight to be of use, and not always of the kind required in a book of reference for students, who want to be able to turn to it for facts. The following account of the death of Socrates may serve as an illustration-a single one must suffice: "A representative of the moderate' party in politics, he was brought to trial and put to death in 399, by the restored democrats who disliked his reactionary politics, all the more dangerous because they were not extreme, more than his supposed false teaching in religion and education." This is all very well for people who already know about Anytus and Meletus and the Apology-about the refusal to escape, and the hemlock, and half-adozen other things so familiar to the writer that he thought them not worth putting down. But, in a reference book, the aim is surely to inform those who do not know. By the way, is it not also curious that this particular article should not contain a word about Plato ? The old friend of our childhood, Smith, who even in the 'Smaller Classical Dictionary' amasses a surprising number of facts, really does better than this. One gets, in fact, from the biographical entries an impression that their contributor aimed rather at interpreting his subject afresh than at setting down concisely what is known about him or her; having virtually adopted the point of view of the critic or essayist, rather than the distinctive point of view of the compiler of a dictionary. We should expect this work to go through many editions, and therefore hope that it will be found possible at some future time either to extend or to recast the biographical entries; and we would further suggest that all the illustrations (not, as now, only a certain number) should have a note of their origin subjoined. Lest we should seem to stint praise that is due, and show ourselves all too lavish of criticism, we had better repeat that this is a really valuable book; and we may add that if there has been any intention to avoid dryness in the making of it, that intention has been fulfilled. In fact, we cannot call to mind any dictionary of the sort in which there is quite so much “ go. WORKS ON THEOLOGY. Of the four Booksellers' Catalogues we have received this month, both that of Mr. P. M. Barnard of Tunbridge Wells (No. 110) and that of Messrs. Charles Higham & Son (No. 546) describe principally works of theological and ecclesiastical interest. Many of the items deserve attention on the part of collectors, and still more on the part of any one who may be getting together a working library of theology. We mention half-a-dozen books from each; another half-dozen at least equally good might easily have been added. Mr. Barnard, then, along with some attractive missals, breviaries, and books of Common Prayer, has a copy of Andrew Hart's Book of Common Order,' containing the original (defective) leaf for F 8, not amended as in most examples with a printed slip, 1611 (167.). A collection of occasional offices of the Franciscan Order (two MSS. bound together), in an Italian fifteenth-century hand, is offered for 5l. 108. few leaves are wanting to both MSS. A copy of -the Bâle edition (1476-8) of Durandus, Rationale A diuinorum officiorum,' in good condition, and rubricated throughout-possibly by the original owner, who has written his name therein in redis not dear at 21. 128. Clifford's The Divine Services and Anthems usually sung in His Majesties Chappell, and in all Cathedrals and Collegiate Choires in England and Ireland,' is another interesting item, 1664 (21. 158.). The Libro de la perfectione humana,' by Enrico Herp-printed by Zopino at Venice, 1522, and remarkable for its beautiful cuts-is to be had, in a pretty good copy, for 5l. 108. We may mention, lastly, the Libellus de venerabili sacramento et valore missarum,' a quarto printed by Ulrich Gering in Paris about 1480 (107. 108.). Messrs. Higham offer for only 10s. 6d. the scarce Cantilenae Quatuor ex MSS. pervetustis nuper erutae '-never published-by John Mason Neale. They have a Biblia Sacra Polyglotta' of the Commonwealth time in 6 vols., folio, 1657 (61. 68.); and the Opera Omnia of St. John Chrysostom-in Montfaucon's edition, printed at Venice in 1734 (41. 48.). A copy of Durandus is also described here: the 1494 edition, printed at Nuremberg by Koberger, in a good binding (81. 88.). The Catholic Encyclopædia' is offered at 81. 88., and the Jewish Encyclopædia' at 91. Mr. William Glaisher, in his Catalogue No. 423, of Publishers' Remainders, offers, for small sums, the principal works of Prof. Cheyne; the " Tudor " Bible, published at 41. 108. and to be had of him for 11. 48.; and several works on ecclesiastical history and biography. send us their Catalogue No. 84, have a copy of the Messrs. Galloway & Porter of Cambridge, who library edition of Stanley's Jewish Church (78. 6d.), and Dom Gueranger's Sainte Cécile et la Société Romaine aux deux Premiers Siècles,' Paris, 1874 (158.).

GENERAL INDEX OF THE NUMEROUS inquiries having been made about the General Index of the Eleventh Series, it is necessary that a statement should be put before our readers. The difficulty which stands in the way is pecuniary. The cost of production of the last General Index-the Tenth-was 2561. 3s. 4d. Of this outlay there remains at this date a deficit of 631. 3s. 10d. To set against this, there are 279 copies still in stock. The demand for the Index is continuous, though slow, and the sale of 150 copies at trade price would extinguish the deficit. It is, according to previous experience, practically certain that this deficit will be eventually covered, and the number of copies then remaining would represent profit. The cost of production of the new Index similar to the last could not, considering the rise in price of material and labour, be less, though probably, by strict economy, it would not exceed (say) 2601. The proprietor is not, however, in a position to incur this fresh outlay at present on his own account. It appears to be obvious that the money recently subscribed as a guarantee fund to keep Notes and Queries going in its old form and in its present hands cannot be touched in the interests of the General Index, especially as that Index would be of a Series all but completed before the money was subscribed. The cost of the Index might be nearly halved by the omission from it of the authors' names, which would be a reversion to the practice in the General Indexes of the first eight Series. Cost (say) 1407. It has been suggested that a fund should be raised among those who are interested in the paper, and especially in the Eleventh General Index. LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1916.

THE twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of General Boulanger, which falls to-day, Sept. 30, may recall the somewhat curious fact that no adequate biography of the general, or history of the movement to which Seeing that these Indexes, including the last, the payment for which still awaits completion, have heretofore more than he gave his name, has yet appeared. At covered their expenses, there is every likelihood that the money subscribed would be repaid gradually. In these circumstances the proprietor appeals to the readers of Notes and Queries' for their assistance. If the promised subscriptions amount to only the smaller of the sums named, he will then decide whether the Index had better be issued without the authors' names, though as to this important question he invites opinion. any rate, nothing answering that description is known to the present writer. It may be that some such work has escaped my notice, and it is largely with the hope of eliciting information on the subject that I have drawn up the subjoined bibliography. It is, no doubt, very incomplete, and some of the books and pamphlets mentioned in it are known to me only by name. So far my endeavours to procure these have been unsuccessful.
