The letters "N. Y." perhaps mean mencing with the "Scoticronicon of John of Forthe city of New York. On the back cover we find a general advertisement of Messrs. Leavitt, Strebeigh & Co., auctioneers, but whether these gentlemen are to sell these books, and if so, whether the sale is to take place at their rooms at Clinton Hall, Astor Place, New York City, only appears, if at all, inferentially. The volume itself is a handsome and portly one of 597 pages. The number of titles is 3126. The prefatory note characterizes the works included as follows: "The collection of books of which this volume is a catalogue, is an important one, and not without attractions to the intelligent book-buyer. As a collection of local histories; of the publications of societies; of biographies; of works on the North American Indians; of Washingtoniana; of election, thanksgiving, and fast-day sermons; of trials; of| early New England theology; of controversial tracts on banking, theology, politics, law, medicine, temperance, etc.; of Fourth of July orations; of college publications; of Lincolniana; of works on Rebellion and slavery; of sermons, etc., it may be said, truly, to have been surpassed in extent, variety, and value, by very few of even the most elaborate and best selected libraries." THERE is a project on hand for the endowment of a Professorship of the Celtic language in connection with the Royal Irish Academy, and as a memorial of the Rev. Dr. Todd, S. F. Trin. Coll., Dublin, F. S. A., sometime President of the R. I. Academy. This foundation is intended to preserve the scientific knowledge of the Irish language, and will further the elucidation of Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and other Celtic MSS. Two volumes of personal reminiscences, well spoken of by the press, have just been published in England; namely Autobiographical Recollections of George Pryme, Esq., some time Fellow of TriUniversity of Cambridge, and M.P. for the borough. nity College, Professor of Political Economy in the Edited by his daughter.

There is a number of telling colored illustrations in the volumes. Very probably, in the event of the early accession to the throne of the present heir apparent, there may be a demand for the revival of the " Bon Ton Magazine." British subjects, however, will be quite content if this series, which is now very scarce, shall remain the only one. 66 Ir may be remembered that among Lord Macaulay's" Edinburgh Review" articles, is a terrible onslaught upon The Omnipresence of the Deity," and "Satan," by the Rev. Robert Montgomery, and that Professor Wilson was equally severe upon the young, versifier in "Blackwood's Magazine." In less space was a cutting quatrain to the same effect. There was an an epigram current when Montgomery's "Oxford" was delighting his admirers, and not gratifying the rest of the world, which was considered "very neat," and was to this purpose:— "Fairly caught, Mr. Mouse; at length you shall rue The mischief you've done mid my books, you vile elf, writers, and artists-and his records of the Satur day dinners of the "Punch" folks, with Henry Baylis, wit and good-fellow, in the chair. THE HISTORICAL MANUSCRIPT.-The commission of eminent literary men and antiquarians, appointed by the British government to hunt after, look through, and report upon historical documents, in public keeping or private property, have published an account of their work so far. The chief discovery was made in London, in the House of Lords, where, among 29,507 documents, were found autograph letters of Charles the First, taken at Naseby, and afterwards suppressed by the Parliament, and the original MS. of the Book of Common Prayer annexed to the Statue 13 and 14 Car. II. c. 4. Next come fifteen Anglo-Saxon charters, ranging from A. D. 624 to 1062, in the Hatton Collection. Then come 72 original letters of Queen Mary of Scotland; Lord St. Germans's seven autograph letters of Gibbon, of which some are on his Parliamentary career, about which so little is known; the UshawCollege letters of Pope; Lord Macclesfield's unpublished letters of Prior; Correspondence of Stepney and of Cressett; Mr. Phelips's fresh documents relating to the Gunpowder Plot; letters from Henry the Seventh and Eighth, Cardinal Wolsey, Elizabeth of York, &c. The college and corporation collections include Anglo-Saxon and early charters, statutes of religious and of trade guilds, account MAY 2, 1870. illustrating the social history of early England, &c. The further results of this inquiry will be looked for with expectant hope. Now and then a good thing turns up in the autograph catalogues. Mr. Waller, of the Temple Book Depot, 58 Fleet Street, London, has some of these in No. 81 of his catalogue. For example, a warrant issued by order of Queen Elizabeth, in the 37th year of her reign (December, 1594), more than six years after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, to prepare six ships, "in order of warre," under command of Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkins the charge to amount to £31,650-with a supplementary order in favor of Drake for £4000. Next, a warrant from Charles I., dated 1634-5, to pay "Jaques Duart, our Jeweller, the Somn of One Thousand Pounds for a paire of pendent Diamonds, presented unto the Lady Mary Herbert." In the hand-writing of Benjamin West, painter, a list of the various societies to which he has been elected in England, on the Continent, and in America; dated March, 1816. He died in 1820. Application for a patent by the Earl of Stanhope, father of Lady Hester Stanhope-"Having invented a method of constructing ships and vessels, and of moving them with equal velocity, without the help of sails, and also of moving and conducting them against wind, waves, current, or tide, or against the power of them all united." Dated January, 1790 (and that he is the first inventor thereof). This is signed by Lord Stanhope. The first experiment with steam navigation in Europe took place on the Thames, in 1801. Lastly, from Thomas Campbell, author of "Pleasures of Hope," a letter with original poem, three verses of eight lines each, beginning "I saw you in December, And your beauties placid pride, HOUSE OF RIVINGTON. MR. FRANCIS HANSARD RIVINGTON, head of the eminent English publishing firm, the oldest in London, arrived in the Russia, and is now making a tour of the United States and Canada. The honorable name of the firm with which he has been connected will insure him a cordial reception wherever he goes. As the history of the House of Rivington is in some respects unique we have transferred the following account of it from our file of the "Bookseller," with a few additions and corrections, bringing the account down to the present date. The House of Rivington.-One of the last lingerers of the London signs was that of the Bible and Crown in St. Paul's Churchyard, or rather in Paternoster Row. It was originally put up in 1711 as the new sign of the house in which Richard Chiswell, who was styled by Dunton the "Metropolitan of Booksellers," so many years carried on business. On his death, in 1711, the business passed into the hands of the first of a family of booksellers, whose name is familiar to every reader of religious books in every part of the world wherever the English language is spoken-Charles Rivington, who succeeded Chiswell. He was born at Chesterfield, Derbyshire, towards the close of the seventeenth century, and, in early life, evinced such a taste for the perusal of theological books, that his friends determined to send him to London, that he might become a theological bookseller. He was apprenticed to a Mr. Matthews, and in 1711 acquired the freedom of the city, and carried on a He He died flourishing business in St. Paul's Churchyard until his death in 1742. Unlike too many of the profession in the present day, Mr. Rivington was devotedly attached to his business, and appears to have been desirous of making it serve the best interests of the time in which he lived by producing many excellent manuals of devotion, and similar practical works. Amongst others he published an edition of "Thomas a'Kempis' Imitation of Christ," edited by his friend the well known John Wesley, then a fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford. In 1739, he suggested to another friend, Samuel Richardson, the composition of that novel which so delighted our mothers, our grandmothers, and our This was sucgreat-grandmothers-" Pamela." cessfully brought out under his auspices. married Eleanor Pease, a native of the county of Durham, by whom he had six children. in 1742, and Samuel Richardson acted as one of his executors. He was succeeded in the business by his sous John and James, who jointly carried it on for several years, when they separated, John remaining in the old business, while James joined a Mr. Fletcher and commenced another, also in St. Paul's Churchyard, where he remained some time and carried on a successful trade. Amongst other works he brought out a "History of England," by Smollett, first in numbers which made four quarto volumes, and then another edition in seven volumes 8vo. By this work alone he cleared no less than £10,000, a larger sum than had ever before been made by one book. Unfortunately for himself he was bitten by the mania then prevalent, and paid more attention to Newmarket races than to business, and a failure was the result. Emigration presented a chance of retrieving his position, and in 1760 he started for the New World, where he again commenced business in Philadelphia, and afterwards at New York. Here, in April, 1762 he commenced the celebrated "Gazette," and, as he advocated British interests and took the loyal side, he became the common butt of the opposition, and eventually so obnoxious that one of the sons of liberty broke into his premises with a troop of light horse, destroyed his presses and carried away the loyal type, which, on trial. was found to make capital republican bullets. Rivington then came back to London, where he obtained the appointment of King's printer for America, and returned, taking with him new type, presses, &c., and recommenced the publication of his "Royal Gazette," which he carried on till the withdrawal of the royal troops. He had managed to make his peace with the other party, his enemies said, by sending them intelligence, and carried on the paper after the removal of the King's coat of arms, but was soon obliged to give it up for want of support. He continued to reside at New York till the time of his death in 1802 or 1803. He was twice married, first to Miss Minshull, of Charlton Hall, Lancashire, and secondly to Miss Van Horn, of New York. Some of his descendants are still living in the United States, and "Rivington" is still the name of one of the streets of New York. The wit of Rivington's "Gazette" appears to have been very offensive to some of the Americans, and they were very liberal of their promises as to what they would do when they got him into their power; but he had a large amount of tact, and we suspect was very much of the gentleman also. He used to tell a capital story of his interview with Ethan Allen, one of the republican heroes who paid him a visit for the purpose of administering a “licking." He says, "I was sitting alone, after a good dinner, with a bottle of Madeira before me, when I heard an unusual noise in the street and a huzza from the boys. I was in the second story, and stepping to the win MAY 2, 1870. dow saw a tall figure in tarnished regimentals, with | Paul's cathedral, and lived upon the most friendly a large cocked hat and an enormous long sword, terms with most members of the Episcopal bench, followed by a crowd of boys, who occasionally and was accustomed to repair every alternate Moncheered him with huzzas of which he seemed in- day to breakfast with Archbishop Secker, at Lamsensible.

In short, we finished two bottles of Madeira, and parted as good friends as if we had never had cause to be otherwise." Returning to England, we find John Rivington* carrying on the old business alone till 17-, when he admitted his two sons, Francis and Charles, into partnership. Besides the numerous theological publications issued by him, he was appointed managing partner by the proprietors of the standard editions of Shakspeare, Milton, Locke, and other British classics; and on the death of Mr. Moore about the year 1760 obtained the appointment of publisher to the venerable Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge-an office which remained in the family for upwards of seventy years. During the illness of Dodsley, the original publisher, Messrs. Rivington managed the "Annual Register;" and when, on the death of Dodsley, that was sold to Otridge and others, in 1791, Messrs. Rivington started one of their own as a continuation of Dodsley's; this was carried on till 1812, when it was discontinued, but again resumed in 1820, when its publication was resumed and carried on till the year 1823; and the following year, the two, by an arrangement, merged into one, which was published by Baldwins for some time, and is now published by Rivingtons. Through this work they became connected with that brilliant writer and eminent statesman, Edmund Burke, who had been & frequent contributor to its pages, and made them his publishers. Mr. John Rivington appears to have been very dissimilar to his brother James in his tastes, becoming more and more like his father as he advanced in life; he attended the early morning and the afternoon services daily, in St. * John Rivington, brother of Francis and Charles (son of above-mentioned John Rivington) became a printer in St. John's Square, and was succeeded by his widow, Ann Rivington, and has since been carried on by Bye and Law; Law and Gilbert; and now under the name of Gilbert and Rivington, by W. Alexander Rivington. After Mr. John Rivington's decease the business was vigorously carried on by his two sons, Francis and Charles, who in January, 1793, commenced the celebrated "British Critic," which soon attained an extraordinary popularity. It was published monthly at 2s., and before the end of the century had attained a circulation of 3500: the other partners in this undertaking were the Ven. Archdeacon Nares, who was editor, and the Rev. W. Beloe, the translator of Herodotus. Nares edited the whole of the first series, in 42 vols., down to 1813. The second Lyall, afterwards Dean of Canterbury; in 1825 the publication was made quarterly, and a third series commenced, which however only reached 3 vols., when a fourth series, incorporating the "Quarterly Theological Review," was commenced in 1827, and continued under several successive editorships until December, 1843, when, in consequence of the Rev. Mr. Mozley, now one of the editors of the "Times," admitting articles advocating extreme views, the work was discontinued, much to the regret of the clergy generally. In April, 1844, a new work sprang from the ashes of the old one. The " English Review," edited by the Rev. Wm. Palmer, was commenced. It never attained the popularity of the "British Critic," but struggled on for several years, and was finally given up in 1853, and for the first time in sixty years the house was without any periodical of its own. John, the eldest son of Mr. Francis, was admitted a partner in 1810, and nothing particular occurs to notice till 1819, when a determination was come to to open a West-end branch. They had long been urged to take this step by several of their most influential friends, and on the completion of the new street opening into Pall-Mall, took a lease of the premises No. 3, Waterloo-place, of which they became the first tenants. Sir James Allan Park, one of the judges, hurried to the house before nine o'clock on New Year's day, in order to enroll himself as the first customer of this new fountain of orthodoxy. In the following year a proposition was made by the late Mr. John Cochran, a former partner in the house of Ogle, Duncan and Cochran, to establish another house of business in secondhand theological books and general standard literature, in which he was to be managing partner. In an evil hour this was assented to, a large sum was placed at Cochran's disposal, and premises taken at 148 Strand, near Somerset-house. Cochran set to work and secured one of the most splendid stocks ever got together, but he bought injudiciously, and frequently at very high prices, either in rivalry with Thorpe and others, or from the desire to possess the monopoly of particular books; MAY 2, 1870. of a Landlord to Retain Possession by Force.-Copy one in particular, Walton's Polyglott Bible, he had a sort of mania for, and at one time had no fewer than five copies in stock. A catalogue of this splendid collection was issued in 1824. It is one of the best and most carefully compiled volumes of the kind ever issued in this country, and extends to 815 pages, enumerating 17,328 articles, many of them of the rarest and most valuable kind. Finding themselves considerable losers by this business, it was given up in 1827, and the stock disposed of.

In consequence of the gradual but increasing movement of their literary connections towards the western districts of the metropolis, the firm in 1853 removed their ancient place of business from St. Paul's Churchyard and consolidated it under one roof at 3 Waterloo-place, retaining, however, some warehouses in Paternoster-row. The present firm consists of Francis Hansard, who is now on a visit to the United States, and his brother Septimus who are the sixth in direct descent from the founder. We have said that the house has never been famous for making money, but it is famous for one thing that is of more value-its good name -for uprightness in all the transactions in which it has been engaged-a correctness that has ever been exercised by every successive generation, even when the carrying of it out has been to their own detriment.
