Mr. George Roberts, the historian of "Lyme Regis," the biographer of "The Duke of Monmouth," and editor of "Walter Yonge's Diary" for the Camden Society, is preparing for immediate publication (by subscription), The Social History of the People of the Southern Counties of England in past Centuries; illustrated in regard to their Habits, Municipal Bye-Laws, Civil Progress, &c. We have not room to enumerate a tithe of the curious subjects which Mr. Roberts proposes to investigate and illustrate; but we can promise that they are such, that with them a man of far less ingenuity and research than Mr. Roberts, could hardly fail of making a valuable and most instructive volume.

The smaller Aquaria, when fitted up with pieces of rock, shells and sea-weed, and stocked with animal life, are objects of the highest interest and beauty; and they yield to the observer the hitherto unattainable pleasure of watching at his ease, in his own apartments, the curious inhabitants of the Ocean.

THE STRONGEST, BEST, AND CHEAP-. Any communication relative to the Judges who flourished under those dynasties will be gratefully received by the Author, if addressed to him at Street-End House, near Canterbury. Opinions of the Press on the first Four Volumes published by Longman & Co., comprehending the period from the Conquest to the end of the Line of York, 1483. "It supplies what was much wanted, a regular and progressive account of English institutions. The result is a correction of many errors, an addition of much new information, and a better general view of our strictly legal history than any other jurist, historian, or biographer had heretofore attempted to give." "- Examiner. "The portion before us (Vols. III. and IV.) is in no respect inferior to that which was first published. It is now manifest that, quite apart from any biographical interest belonging to it, the work, in its complete state, will supply a regular and progressive account of English legal institutions, such as exists in no other equally accessible form in our language." - Examiner. "The two former volumes established Mr. Foss's reputation as an author. It would be difficult to point out any other work in which is contained so much valuable matter, combined with so much incident interesting to the legal antiquary."- Standard. "In the sense of research this work may be said to be original."— Spectator. "Too high praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Foss for careful and painstaking research. He has rejected the husk of archæology, and presented the kernel. His conclusions are not merely sound, his logic is inventive."- Spectator. "The Judges of England is an excellent book, and will, without doubt, be appreciated as well by the public at large as by the members of the legal profession." - Tait's Magazine. "These additional volumes deserve a hearty welcome from the reading world, to antiquary, lawyer, and historian, they will be found rife with interest and erudition." - Tait's Magazine. "Lord Campbell boasts of the Cancellarian mummies which he has dug up and exhibited to the public;' but Mr. Foss may boast of a higher claim to praise, in having given to the persons whom he has drawn from the shades of a long and all but hopeless obscurity, the truth of an historical interest, and the animation of a real existence." — Gentleman's Magazine. "It is the distinction of Mr. Foss's book, that he builds everything upon authority, and quotes authority for everything. He has written a book which has added more to our knowledge of legal history than any single work published since Madox's 'History of the Exchequer,' a book which is essentially sound and truthful, and must therefore take its stand in the permanent literature of our country." - Gentleman's Magazine. "Our description will be sufficient to show how valuable an addition Mr. Foss has made to our literary stores, and how vast a mass of useful and attractive information he has placed within the reach of the historian, the antiquary, the legal student, and the constitutional lawyer."- John Bull. "A work which cannot be too highly estimated, whether for the importance of its object, or the great learning, extraordinary research, judgment, and impartiality which are bestowed on all parts of its composition."- Legal Observer. "Mr. Foss deserves infinite credit for the industry and perseverance of his investigations, and for his judicious use of the materials at hand. All possible assistance is due to Mr. Foss in return for the patient research of which the volumes before us are the result. Their importance can hardly be overrated." - Literary Gazette. "We believe that this is the only work of the kind.”—Law Magazine. "Mr. Foss, as he proceeds with his arduous researches, is picking up some bits of much antiquated interest. His book must not be judged as a history of all the judges, so much as in the light of fragments of the history of their times." - Law Magazine. "The work of Mr. Foss is the only one which is at all to be relied on."- Rambler. "The reputation which Mr. Foss acquired, as a diligent investigator of legal antiquities, and an impartial biographer of those who have won for themselves seats on the woolsack or the bench, by the publication of the first two volumes, will be more than confirmed by the 3rd and 4th Volumes which have just been issued."- Notes and Queries.
