ree volumes of this edition have already appeared, the last bearing
the date of 1848, and concluding thus:--"End of Vol. III." In the latest
Catalogue, which Mr. Bohn has appended to his publications, appears a
notice of "Milton's Prose Works, _complete_ in 3 vols." This word
_complete_ is not consistent with the words terminating the last volume,
nor with the exact truth. For instance, the History of Britain does not
find a place in this edition; and I can hardly believe that Mr. Bohn
originally intended that the Prose Works of Milton should be issued from
his press without a full index. Without such an index, this edition is
comparatively worthless to the investigator of history. I would
therefore suggest to Mr. Bohn (whose services to literature I most
gratefully acknowledge), that he should render his edition of Milton's
Prose Works _really complete_, by issuing a fourth volume, which _inter
alia_, might contain the _Latin_ prose works of Milton, reprinted in
Fletcher's edition of 1834, together with any omitted English prose work
of the author, and be terminated, as is usual in Mr. Bohn's
publications, with a full alphabetical index, embracing both persons and
things. The lover of historical pursuits would then have _fresh_ reason
to thank Mr. Bohn.

REPRINT OF JEREMY TAYLOR'S WORKS.

A reprint being called for of vol. iv. of _Bishop Jeremy Taylor's
Works_, now in course of publication, I would beg permission to make it
known to your readers, that assistance in regard to any references which
were not verified in the former edition of that volume would be very
acceptable to me. They should be sent within the next fortnight.

DR. THOMAS BEVER'S LEGAL POLITY OF GREAT BRITAIN.

I do not know if such a notice as this is intended to be, is admissible
into your publication.

Many years ago, I bought of a bookseller a MS. intitled "A Short History
of the Legal and Judicial Polity of Great Britain, attempted by Thos.
Bever, LL.D., Advocate in Doctor's Commons, and Fellow of All Souls
College, Oxford, 1759." It is presented to Richard Pennant, Esq.; and
there is a letter from Mr. Bever to Mr. Pennant wafered to the fly-leaf.
At the close of the "Advertisement," the author "earnestly requests that
it [the work] may not be suffered to fall into the hands of a
bookseller, or be copied, without his consent: and whene
