_Cold Harbour_ (Vol. ii., p. 60.).--There is a place bearing that
designation at Gosport, running along side of Portsmouth harbour,

NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

The "Percy Society" has just issued _The Anglo-Saxon Passion of St.
George_, from a manuscript in the Cambridge University Library. It is a
work highly creditable to the Society; and in the interesting
Introduction prefixed to it by the Editor, the Rev. C. Hardwick, M.A.,
Fellow of St. Catharine's Hall, he has gratified our national prejudices
by showing the favour which the Saint from whom we take

"Our ancient word of courage, fair Saint George"

enjoyed in England before the Norman Conquest. Mr. Hardwick's brief
notice of the Anglo-Saxon allusions to Saint George is complete and most
satisfactory.

Messrs. Puttick and Simpson, of 191. Piccadilly, will sell, on Tuesday
and Wednesday next, the Miscellaneous Collections of the late Rev. J.
Sundius Stamp, including several thousand Autograph Letters of ever
period and class. We need scarcely add that the autographs are classed
and catalogued with Messrs. P. and S.'s usual tact.

We have received the following catalogues:--Bernard Quaritch's (16.
Castle Street, Leicester Square) Catalogue of Italian and French Books;
William Brown's (130. and 131. Old Street, St. Luke's) Catalogue of
Books connected with Wesleyan Methodism.
