" Much of the peculiarity of dialect prevalent in Anglo-Saxon times, is preserved even to the present day in the provincial dialects of the same districts. In these local dialects, then, remnants of the Anglo Saxon tongue may be found in its least altered, most uncorrupt, aud therefore in its purest state. Having a strong and expressive language of their own, they had little desire and few opportunities to adopt foreign idioms or pronunciation, and thus to corrupt the purity of their ancient language. Our present polished phrase and fashionable pronunciation are often new, and, as deviating from primitive usage, faulty and coriupt. We are, therefore, much indebted to those zealous and patriotic individuals who have referred us to the archaisms of our nervou language, by publishing provincial glossaries, and giving specimens of their dialects."

" This volume belongs to a class of great utility, and requires much diligent research and attention in all its parts to render them what they ought to be. We congratulate Mr. Smith on the performance of his task. His work is a sine qua non to every Kentish Library, and one which the general historian and antiquary will do well to consult. It seems to us to be very accurate and complete, and we are sure that it contains much curious and valuable information — local, biographical, topoguaphu al, antiqua- rian, BIBLIOGRAPHICAL, STATISTICAL, and NATIONAL. We recommeud it heartily." — Literary Gazette, Nov. 4, 1837. "The industrious compiler of the volume before us has shown how largely the history and antiquities of Kent have already occupied the attention of Topographers and Antiquaries; and, by exhibiting in one view what is now before the public, he has at once facilitated the researches of future writers, and has pointed out how ample a field still remains for their labours. The volume contains a complete catalogue of all the printed works relative to the county, including, with respect to the most important, not only their titles in length, but also useful particulars which serve as the guide for collation, in ascertaining whether a book is perfect, as the principal divisions of the contents, the number of pages, lists of plates, &c.

June, 1839. "An ordinary Song, or Ballad, that is the delight of the common people, cannot fail to please all such readers as are not unqualified for the entertainment by their affectation or their ignorance; and the reason is plain, because the same paintings of nature which recommend it to the most ordinary reader, will appear beautiful to the most refined." — Addison's Spectator, No. 70. "The most elegant compilation of the early poetry of a nation that has ever apeared in any age or country; every page evinces the refined taste, the genius and learning of the editor : it deserved, and has received, unbounded applause, from men fully capable of appreciating its merits." — R. H. Evans' Preface to his Old Ballads, vol. 1, p. 11. " Dr. Percy conferred on Literature, an inestimable benefit. He dug up many precious jewels from among the ruins of time. He excited the in- terest of the Poet and of the Historian, and united, in friendly league, criticism and antiquarian science." — Edinhiirgh Review, vol. 1, p. 396. " The most agreeable selection vfhich perhaps exists in any language." — G. Ellis. "The taste with which the materials were chosen, the extreme felicity with which they were illustrated, the display at once of antiquarian knowledge and classical reading which the collection indicated, render it difficult to imi- tate, and impossible to excel a work which must always be held among the first of its class in point of merit." — Sir Walter Scott.

" The extreme accuracy of Mr. Gifford is too well known to require comment. This new edition is scrupulously reprinted from his text, and those of the notes necessary for the elucidation of the author, which he omitted in his second edition, are now restored to their original situations.

Nothing can be more delightful than the freshness of thought and feeling which appears in the Essay on ' The Love of the Country.' To the uext age he will stand among the foremost of the thinkers of the present; it is with great truth that to him may be applied the hackuied phrase, ' he was in advance of his time.'

Schlegel's Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature, translated from the German, a new edition, in 2 vols., fc. 8vo., in the press. " A. W. Schlegel has given a course of Dramatic Literature at Vienna, which comprises every thing remarkable that has been composed for the Theatre from the time of tho Grecians to our own days: it is not a barren nomenclature of the works of various authors; he seizes the spirit of their different sorts of Literature with all the imagination of a poet. We are sensi- ble that to produce such consequences, extraordinary studies are required ; but learning is not perceived in this work, except by his perfect knowledge of the chefs-d'eEKvre of composition, la a few pages we reap the fruit of the labour of a whole life. Every opinion formed by the author, every epithet given to the writers of whom he speaks, is beautiful and just, concise and animated. He has found the art of treating the finest pieces of poetry as so many wonders of nature, and of painting them in lively colours which do not injure the just- ness of the outline ; for we cannot repeat too often, that imagination, far from being an enemy to truth, brings it forward more than any other facultv of the mind ; and all those who depend upon it as an excuse for indefinite terms or exaggerated expressions, are at least as destitute of poetry as of good sense." — Mad, de Stael's Germany.
