NOTES AND QUERIES.

[2nd g. N 24., JUNE 14. '56.

standing where the army rested in their march, a harbour. So that it is evident that the words horberg and herbergier had once a different mean- ing. I imagine that the au in the French Au- berge is not the her in herberg, but the al in Spanish and Portuguese Albergue, which Gattel and Vieyra both derive from the Arabic. Voor- schooten signifies aprons, but here I should think it means the name of a place. R. S. CUARNOCK.

NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC.

We have received from Messrs. Williams & Norgate a volume which will be extremely interesting to all who share the opinions of Grimm, Keightley, Kemble, and other scholars, who regard the popular mythology of Europe as a subject deserving of careful investigation and profound study. It is from the pen of Dr. Liebrecht, of whose German translation of Basile's Pentamerone we have had occasion to speak most favourably; and is en- titled Des Gervasius von Tilbury Otia Imperialia. In einer Auswahl neu herausgegeben und mit Anmerkungen be- gleitet von Felix Leibrecht. Bin Beitrag zur Deutschen Mythologie und Sagenforschung. The readers of Warton and Tyrwhit will remember the illustrations of our early folk lore which those elegant critics drew from the Otia Imperialia; and therefore can well imagine to what good use a scholar like the present editor can turn the me- diaeval legends contained in Gervasius, for the purpose of throwing light upon the mythology of the Teutonic races. And this js what Leibrecht has done; for while the re- print of the text occupies little more than fifty pages, upwards of 200, and those very closely printed, are de- voted to his notes and comments : so that it will be seen that the work is one which well deserves the attention of English scholars. They will, we think, thank us for bringing it under their notice.

BOOKS RECEIVED. The Poetical Works of Ben Jon- son, edited by Robert Bell. This new volume of the Annotated Edition of the British Poets is most creditable to the taste and judgment of the editor. All must rejoice to see included in a collection of English Poetry the Lyrics, &c., of Rare Ben Jonson.

The Strangers' Handbook to Chester and its Environs, containing a Short Sketch of its History and Antiquities, By Thomas Hughes. Mr. Hughes, who has been a fre- quent contributor to our columns, has here produced a little volume profusely illustrated, which will be found a most useful guide to the visitors of this tine old city.

Memoirs of the Life and Times of John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London in the Reigns of Henry V. and Henry VI., and Founder of the City of London School. By Thomas Brewer, Secretary of the School. This volume, which is the enlargement of a notice of Carpenter com- piled by Mr. Brewer some years since, is most creditable to its author; and not only a pleasant memorial of the worthy Town Clerk, but adds a pleasant chapter to the history of the city itself.

Cottage Pictures from the Old Testament. Messrs. Parker of Oxford, to whom we are indebted for this series of twenty-eight pictures, have done good service by their publication. They are brightly but carefully coloured, and will, we trust, supply the place of the Scripture Il- lustrations, full of bad art as of bad taste, which now are found on the walls of the poorer classes.

To the same publishers we are indebted for the follow- ing publications in the cause of religion and education :

The TrichinicB of Sophocles, with short English Notes for the Use of Schools.

Short Notes to the Seven Plays of Sophocles.

A Manual of Prayers for the Use of Schools.

Two to One. The new tale of their Series, Tales for the Young Men and Wornen of England.
