iaeval Church. The work, which extends from the time of Gregory the Great
to 1520, when Luther, having been extruded from those churches that adhered
to the communion of the Pope, established a provisional form of government,
and opened a fresh era in the history of Europe, is distinguished by the
same diligent research and conscientious acknowledgment of authorities
which procured for Mr. Hardwick's _History of the Articles of Religion_
such a favourable reception. The work is illustrated by four maps, which
have been especially constructed for it by Mr. A. Keith Johnston.
The amiable and accomplished author of _Proposals for Christian Union_, and
of _Welsh Sketches_, has just issued the third and concluding series of his
little volumes on Welsh history, civil and ecclesiastical. We have no doubt
that the eight chapters of which it consists, and in which he treats of
Edward the Black Prince, Owen Glyndwr, Prince of Wales, Mediaeval Bardism,
and the Welsh Church, will be read with great satisfaction, not only by all
sons of the Principality, but by all who look with interest on that portion
of our island in which the last traces of our ancient British race and
language still linger.
BOOKS RECEIVED.--_The Journal of Sacred Literature_, No. IX. for October,
continues to put forth strong claims to the support of those who have a
taste for pure biblical literature. From the address of its new editor, it
would seem not to be so well known as the object for which it is
established plainly deserves.--_Cyclopaedia Bibliographica_, Part XIII. for
October, continues its useful course. Every succeeding number only serves
to prove how valuable the work will be when completed.--_The Shakspeare
Repository_, edited by J. H. Fennell, No. III., is well worth the attention
of our numerous Shakspearian readers.
