early ready. Along with this will be given the Burial Service as noted by Marbecke, together with an APPENDIX, containing the Benedictus, Post Communion Sentences, and other portions of ancient music, as contained in his book. The work will thus comprise all the music of Marbecke's publication, (which was adapted to the first Prayer-Book of Edward VI.) and will likewise be a complete edition of the present Anglican Service. Independently of the interest attached to the musical part of the work, it will be found an elegant service book, adapted either for private use, or for the Church desk or altar. "Whether we regard the importance of the subjects upon which it bears, or the intrinsic beauty of the volume itself, we do not know whether we have been ever more pleased with a modern publication. It is most sumptuously printed in black letter, and rubricated, not only with those portions which are usually understood by that name, but with titles, initials, ornaments, and the Gregorian staff of four lines: every page is surrounded with arabesques, executed from blocks, which, by an ingenious combination, are much diversified; and in the large paper copies, we would willingly borrow some of Dr. Dibdin's hyperbole to express our admiration. But the view under which we hail the present publication, is the impetus which we trust that it will give to the study of the true ecclesiastical _plain chant._"--_English Churchman._ THE HISTORY OF OUR BLESSED LORD, In a Series of simple Poems; with 13 coloured Pictures from the Old Masters; in very large type. Small 4to. 4_s._ 6_d._ "A great experiment, and to the best of our judgment a successful one. The verses are easy, and, though rather in the ballad style, are free from any palpable irreverence. The plates are after the works of masters, and in the style, both of drawing and colouring, remind one of the severe and simple effect of old painted windows."--_British Critic._ ROMANTIC FICTION: Select Tales from the German of Fouque, &c. With Vignettes. Fcp 8vo. _In the Press._ Also, lately published, (by De la Motte Fouque,) SINTRAM AND HIS COMPANIONS. Foolscap, cloth, (with a Copy of the Engraving by Albert Durer, which suggested the Tale). Price 3_s._ 6_d._ HIEROLOGUS; or, THE CHURCH TOURISTS. By the Rev. J. MASON NEALE, M.A. Author of "Herbert Tresham," "Ayton Priory," &c. &c. With Thirteen Vignettes. Fcp. cloth. 6_s._
