D ., Secretary to the Royal Historical Society , Matthias Barr , Dr . Langford , Samuel Carter Hall , F . S . A ., W . E . A . Axon , F . R . S . L ., and W . Davenport Adams . " Miscellanea " is an eminently readable collection of poetry and prose .
The Shaughraun , a new social , satirical , and witty weekly , emanating from the Irish capital , is the " latest thing " in comic journalism . The first numbers are to hand , and judging from them , we are inclined to think that The Shaughraun has a long and prosperous career before it . The persiflage is especially bright and pungent ; and there are , besides , some brilliant papers on local themes , and sensible paragraphs on noteworthy passing events in the " green isle " and elsewhere .
Mr . E . S . Littleton , the talented author of " Hamand and other Poems , has in preparation a lengthy production in verse entitled " The last Plague , " which is to be published concurrently in several provincial periodicals , and afterwards reprinted and issued in volume form . Mr . Littleton ' s charming verses in many of our magazines have been much admired .
Mr . John Cook , F . R . H . S ., recently read before the members of the Hull Literary Club , iu the Guildhall , Beverley , a paper in elucidation of the history of the old minster town . T he paper has been printed for distribution amongst the members of the club and their friends in the form of a pamphlet entitled " Historical Notes on Beverley . " We have received a copy , and find in it much valuable matter . Mr . Cook merits the thanks of the antiquary for the care and ability he has displayed iu the preparation of his " Notes . "
A magnificent folio work on the " Ruined Abbeys of Britain " is about to be published in serial form . Each number will comprise twenty-four pages of descriptive matter anent some famous monastic relic , and will be accompanied with a coloured plate , and further embellished by numerous engravings . The literary portion of this important enterprize has been entrusted to the competent pen of Mr . Frederick Ross , F . R . H . S ., author of '' Torkshire Family Romance , " " Celebrities of the Torkshire Wolds , " etc ., Tintern and Fountains Abbeys are to be dealt with in the two first numbers .
The third series of Mr . William Bottrell ' s " Stories and Folk-Lore of West Cornwall " is now in the hands of the subscribers . The book is brimful of quaint traditionary tales of the land of Tre , Pol , and Pen , and interesting items of old-world lore . We regret to gather from the preface that the author , who has done so much to elucidate Cornish lore , is rendered incapable of performing further literary labour by a severe stroke , of paralysis .
This advertence to Cornish matters reminds us that amongst some recent additions to the roll of Civil List pensioners is the widow of the late Rev . Robert Stephen Howker , the Vicar of Morwenstow , whose charming legendary lays and lyrics of Devon aud Cornwall are so universally read and admired . Mrs . G , M . Tweddell ( Florence Cleveland ) will shortly publish a volume of her poems dealing with the legendary lore of Torkshire .
