His works, his plays especially, are full of imagination and humour. They display great energy and activity of intellect, and sparkle upon occasion with genuine wit. He is worthy to rank in the noble brotherhood of generous and cultivated spirits who shine like lesser stars around the great central fire of Shakspeare. Ben Jonson must have rated him highly, to have named him in the commendatory verses on Shakspeare as one of the poet's "peers," with whom he would have contrasted him, had he thought posterity would care to know how far he did

66 our Lyly outshine,

Or sporting Kyd, or Marlowe's mighty line."

Shakspeare seems to have paid him the compliment of working out some of the ideas which occur in a crude state in his plays. Mr. Fairholt has done his work as editor well. His notes are good, brief, and to the purpose.-Literary Gazette.

Paris, 1834 2100 DUDLEY'S (Lord) Letters to the Bishop of Llandaff. 8vo, portrait and facsimile, cloth. 48 6d 1841 2101 DUGDALE'S Monasticon Anglicanum; a History of the Abbeys and other Monasteries, Hospitals, Friaries, and Cathedral and Collegiate Churches in England and Wales; and all such Scotch, Irish, and French Monasteries as were in any manner connected with the religious houses in England. With numerous additions, forming EIGHT VOLUMES IN FOLIO, half bound, morocco, containing 250 beautiful engravings (originally published at £141. 158). £20 1846

Very important work to collectors of engravings.

This new edition of the Monasticon is reprinted from that edited by Messrs. Caley, Ellis, and Bandinel (the First Part appearing in 1817), upon which those eminent antiquaries were employed from the year 1812 to its completion in 1830. From the mode of publication then adopted, the work passed slowly through the press during a peried of eighteen years, and consequently it was found impossible to keep up uniformity of paper and typography. The limited impression of 350 copies to which the last edition was confined, has in nowise injured the copper-plates, the greater part of which were executed by the late John Coney, from drawings made by him expressly for the work. The proprietors, owing to the improvements that have taken place, both in the manufacture of paper and in the art of copper-plate printing, are enabled to place before the public, at the comparatively low price of £25, a work superior to that for which the former subscribers paid no less than £141. 15s. 2102 DUGDALE (Sir W.)
