NOTES ON BOOKS, SALES, CATALOGUES, ETC.

The two of Mr. Hunter’s Critical and Historical Tracts, which we have had the opportunity of examining, justify to the fullest the expectations we had formed of them.  The first, Agincourt; a Contribution towards an authentic List of the Commanders of the English Host, in King Henry the Fifth’s Expedition, in the Third Year of his Reign, Mr. Hunter describes as “an instalment,” we venture to add “a very valuable instalment,” from evidence which has been buried for centuries in the unknown masses of national records, towards a complete list of the English Commanders who served with the King in that expedition, with, in most cases, the number of the retinue which each Commander undertook to bring into the field, and, in some instances, notices of events happening to the contingents.  The value of a work based upon such materials, our historical readers will instantly recognise.  The lovers of our poetry will regard with equal interest, and peruse with equal satisfaction, Mr. Hunter’s brochure entitled Milton; a Sheaf of Gleanings after his Biographers and Annotators, and admit that he has bound up the new biographical illustrations and critical comments, which he has gathered in that pleasant field of literary inquiry, the life and writings of Milton, into a goodly and a pleasant sheaf.

Messrs. Sotheby and Co. will commence on Monday, the 29th of this month, a three days’ Sale of Greek Roman, and English Coins, English and Foreign Medals, Cabinets, &c., the property of a Gentleman leaving England.
